In Madison, Wisconsin, students toppled a statue of an abolitionist, and they want Abraham Lincoln’s statue removed! I didn’t read the argument for removing Lincoln because I can’t bring myself to spend any time on this. Think of the money parents spend for a “good” education, and this is what their kids are getting.
Glad you didn't spend time reading the argument. What have these students contributed to America compared to Abraham Lincoln? In 100 years, Lincoln will live on in our memory. Not these students.
I didn’t go to college. I was working, and I really didn’t have any idea as to what it was I wanted to do. Plus, my parents couldn’t afford it. These young people are so blessed to have that kind of opportunity. What is it that makes doing those kinds of things seem so worthwhile to them?
Here is a speculation -- maybe they are looking for purpose and meaning. Plus, the young always rebel against the status quo. Maybe, toppling monuments and landmarks is a misguided way of non-conforming. Just a conjecture and not based on any evidence.
