The fight over a Confederate monument at Arlington National Cemetery.
IMO, confederates were and are traitors. We should remember what they did, what they stood for, and why these things happened at historical sites like Gettysburg.
There's a national cemetery in Riverside, CA. If I go there, I don't want to see any celebration of traitors. You can put up Benedict Arnold monuments at sites where key events occurred with his participation, but they don't belong at other national monuments. And so it is with the Confederacy.
