Remove old courthouse, too

If the mayor and a group of Lexington’s citizens demand to remove two Confederate sculptures, then I believe an even more evil symbol of slavery should also be taken down.

I hereby propose that the Fayette County courthouse, the location of a 150-year-old slave market, be demolished, as well. If not, their action will be nothing more than hypocrisy and political correctness.
