You can easily kerp the past alive, and teach the hortors of it, without revering it. Ask the Germans. Nazi symbol banned except for art and teaching purposes, Nazis far from forgotten.
In America, we keep the symbol, rewrite the history to erase the worst horrors, then revere a false narrative. All of that's utterly backwards and will lead to a repeat if the more aware can't find a way to stop it.
Your devils advocate routine is wearing a bit thin, of late.
