Changing history by removing statues

Is removing the Confederate statues a good thing or a bad thing? We will never know. Are the history books going to be changed as well, or were they a lie all along?

That is the blueprint of Adolf Hitler’s manifesto. Changing everything in our history we don’t agree with? Smells like communism to me. Lastly, what do we do with the next generations? The old-school version or this version?
