I feel like this standard is somewhat uniquely held for US historic monuments and artwork. I think it would be laughable to go over to Europe and start suggesting people tear down thousand year old works of art because the people who created them or are depicted in them weren't very nice. I suspect Michelangelo didn't have very progressive views on race or gender, but his works are safe. Is it because the US history isn't as old? This isn't a rhetorical question, and I'm not going to attempt to debate any points. I'm genuinely curious about the position.
