New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu gave a great speech earlier this week on why statues honoring heroes of the Confederacy should be taken down. Why should people who fought for a system that allowed slavery and secession from the union be honored? Landrieu was also right to challenge people in the audience to come up with justifications for the children why these people and the statues made to commemorate them should be revered? To date, no one has credibly come up with a good reason.
