These are confusing times. By today’s enlightened standards, two hundred years ago, pretty much everyone was racist, misogynistic, and patriarchal. Should we judge them by standards that did not exist for them? I agree that many Confederate monuments must be taken down. Moreover, it has recently come to our attention that some of our country’s founders were slave holders. Should we change the name of every place named “Washington” or “Jefferson”? If so, how should we proceed?
