There are conversations going on about who in our country's history should be commemorated with statues, building names, city/state names, etc.


The reactionary response to removing confederacy stuff is something like "we should take down the Jefferson Memorial too then" or "why don't we rename the state of Washington since George Washington owned slaves", or #cancelYale.

Now some of that is bad faith, right wing trolling (like #cancelYale). But some is genuine.
Washington and Jefferson statues are being taken down across the country.

What do you think should be the criteria for staying up or being taken down?
