What we don't want to do is honor anyone who took part in the Confederacy with monuments. That's not something to be celebrated. I don't believe there's any danger of Lee's accomplishments being lost to history and there are very appropriate places for historical items to be displayed. The lawn of city hall is not that place.
I was joking. It is equally ridiculous for southerners to glorify a yankee con man as it is Lee.
