We Must Not Burn Or Drop Statues

Burning and tearing down, statues,
is to erase history... and this
does not exist...
The past must serve as an example...
Statues that tell of human deeds
or defects... do not deserve so much attention,
but they tell what happened... So they must
have the context explained...Everyone has the right
to learn the truth...
