Confederate statues honoring Confederates nowadays belong in museums, at battlefields, and in national cemetaries.

This bullsheet about being tolerant to members of the KKK, white supremicists, and white nationalism is ridiculous. My grandparents were burned out of their home in the 1920s in north central Iowa farm country by KKK Know Knothings. We fought world wars over the Nazis, and nationalism.

My grandfather knew the Governor of Indiana in the 1920s, and later in life had his silent Klan card in his trove of documents.

Colorado was a hotbed of Klan activity.

Don't let these snakes arise again out of a misguided premise that hate and criminal intent and behavior on both sides balances out.
