yes it is offensive to some people in which it hurt the people they came from earlier in history

# data[].attributes.body
Because there is a lot of history behind them and we would have to tear down more than just statues. We'd have to change a lot of things

# data[].attributes.body
The statue should stay because, its part of some peoples heritage of life. Which those people fought for what they believed in.

Statue removal should depend on the vast majority only because if one starts to tear a statue down due to a select few who feels offended by it, then when would we stop? Everyone has different opinions and backgrounds, not everyone is going to agree. I also think that it would be disrespectful to tear down something that has so much meaning to some people and our past.

the statue needs to be removed. all of them. many supporters say they support the flag for patriotism. THE CONFEDERATE people were known as traitors. The flag represents the support of slavery. inhumane, racist,inconsiderate&ignorant. The population of the south contains african americans. A highschool student Zyahna Bryant requested to have the statue removed because her and her other peers felt uncomfortable.. as they should

the statue is racist.

# data[].attributes.body
They should be removed because they represents something wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Because the statues represent the white men standing above everyone else

No because everyone is going to have a different opinion and think differently on certain things. Not everyone agrees on the same things.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes

# data[].attributes.body
Yes

The statues shouldn't because a lot of people respect the statue. The statues are all from the past and you cant ease the past.

The statues should be removed, not because they offend people,  but because it represents inequality and racism in our country.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because i think that if they offend something or someone it should stay up! i think it should be token down if it offends someone.

# data[].attributes.body
No because

# data[].attributes.body
i think it should stay there if its not causing problems but sense it is then it should probably be removed

# data[].attributes.body
The statue shouldn't be removed do to all the history that the statue shows and means to people. And if the people that don't like it then don't look at it or just don't got by it and it wont effect you in anyway, shape, or form

# data[].attributes.body
no because if its someones elses culture and other people dont agree with it, then they shouldn't take something down that they dont understand about someones culutre because everyone beliefs are different

# data[].attributes.body
No! People get way too offended over anything now. It's important to keep things from history that way we'll learn from previous mistakes or benefits, besides we need as much history as we can that way we know what happened.

# data[].attributes.body
Statues should not be removed if they offend people. They are there to represent history and honor those who deserve it. Although they may offend some people, there may also be some people who enjoy and support the statue.

I think it is completely  bull that people want this removed or that they would even begin to take it down, it is a part of history. If i said i wanted to take down the american flag because they were also part of the war  what would you think? You cant just take something out of history and act like nothing happened i dont think people take the time to really understand anything about this situation its more people saying they want it taken down because they are all gonna follow what others think. If people dont like if then thats there own problem.

I feel like they should remove the statue because it brings nothing but violence to the people that are offended and to those who are not.

Monuments should not be removed if they offend people, because if we took down everything in the world that offended people, we wouldn't have any way to remember our history and what has shaped our country into what it is today
