The mayor of Knoxville is there at our pleasure. We elected her. She works for us. As such - she should abide by the wishes of the electorate. And we wish that our nation's history be preserved. Those that are ignorant of our history, believe in naive ideals and are led by those with a agenda are demanding that we hide our history by tearing down monuments. You do not change history by hiding it. You only facilitate the repeat of it. LEAVE OUR HISTORICAL MONUMENTS ALONE!!
