I disagree with tearing down every statue for someone who does not meet today's PC attitudes.  

I've quoted Lincoln's speech about not wanting Negroes to vote or intermarry or serve on juries or hold political office several times on CC.

"there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."  (1858)

That makes him a 'racist' according to today's standards.

Add in Teddy Roosevelt's "White Man's Burden", George Washington and Thomas Jefferson's slave ownership and it's time to stack dynamite at Mr. Rushmore and detonate it.

Education, not ISIS-style destruction of all opposing memorabilia and viewpoints should be our goal.
