Suit Challenges Removal of Confederate Monuments

A federal lawsuit is challenging a city plan to remove prominent Confederate monuments by charging that the city doesn't own the land under three of the monuments and they are protected from removal by state and federal laws.

The suit, filed shortly after the City Council voted Thursday to remove four monuments, asks U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier in New Orleans to halt removal plans. The suit was filed by three preservation organizations and a New Orleans chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.

This misses the point completely.

What's the point? That folks want to tear down historical monuments that they don't own and probably aren't allowed too remove by state and federal law, because they don't like what they memorialize?

The leadersof the left have fooled their base into believing that removing all things Confederate is about social justice, it is not. The Democratic party elite want to suppress a history filled with racism, slavery and Jim Crow.
