Letter: Tearing down statues won’t change thought
Well another terrorist attack in Europe. We have the problem of important Revolutionary leaders’ statues meant to honor heroes in spite of their human failures. Tearing down the statues seems to show the shallow thinking of many Americans. It did not nor will it change the inner thinking of the public.
I suspect that it takes true religion and not a highly praised law, which many of us give wrongly placed thanks for. But the elite would be angry for not getting credit for higher thinking that they think they deserve.
There seems to be an education hole through which young people miss how things work, and many of us refuse to accept. A common belief is that it is not my problem.
