Since the awful riot that took place at the base of a Gen. Robert E. Lee statue in Charlottesville, Virginia, earlier this month, activists and vandals have responded throughout the country by looking for 100-year-old monuments to destroy. While it may be bad enough to strip down history, the process should rightly remain in the hands of local communities and be done through a legal and democratic process. Many of these statues are indeed of great men, but what truly makes America great is that we are a nation of laws.
