They are killing our past in the name of getting rid of things that are derogatory and discriminating so that you have no past, and no identity, outside of the one they wish you to have
The destruction of America's past continues, and the federal government is a willing accomplice. There's an old saying: "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it."

As an individual we journey through life sometimes succeeding, and sometimes failing. Failure is where we learn our lessons. Failure is from which comes our wisdom, should we decide to embrace it. For some, the toughest lessons in life make the individual bitter. For others, they are an important step towards becoming an improved version of ourselves. America's past, the good and the bad, made the country a better place, and it is foolish to try to force Americans to forget those lessons through changing names of things, or tearing down statues.
