Letter | First they came for the Confederate flag ...

The shameful whitewashing of history

Let our liberal, big-mouth, Taliban tear down our heritage-history flag, all the monuments in Washington, and the names of outstanding men who gave us roads, schools, office buildings. They are doing that to former North Carolina Gov. Charles Aycock.

Tear down 300-year-old art objects if the artist did not have your opinion on things.

Name all roads, bridges, buildings, schools: Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Kim Clyburn and Barack Obama. In a few years, we will name them Pedro, Chavez and Mendez, and then Abdul, Hussain and Muhammad.
