If we want to truly be equal, take all the statues down, and don’t show favoritism to any one race or gender.

To avoid glorifying any one person, with names on schools, merely rename those institutions as PS-1, PS-2 and so forth.

Pretending ugliness never existed, and acting like those leaders in the 1993 Sylvester Stallone movie, “Demolition Man,” who attempted to reflect their ever-advancing vanilla world by whitewashing the scenery, really makes one wonder from all of the present destruction if our leaders are truly attempting to fight discrimination or is it their political agenda as profiteers in creating a spectacular environment of political correctness by exploiting those protesting.

I recently read this quote: “We grow up with dreams in our eyes and songs on our lips and we discover that life is not what we thought it would be. And then, we discover nostalgia.”
