It is not.
Really? Because one can go down to the local library and pick a plethora of books on the Civil War that gives more information than those statues ever could. The Germans don't celebrate Hitler, the Iraqi's pulled down Hussein's statue. Defenders of slavery get the same treatment.
What is "unbalanced" about said books that you know of? In ever book I've read, the reasons for their creation are given...it's important that because it serves to demonstrate the sheer unfairness of it all.
Neither of the aforementioned compares to the whole "equality" issue of hetero and homo sexuality. Personally, I see the whole homosexual (and all it's permutations) issue as an abnormal but common occurence in human condition. But it's nothing to kill someone over, much less severely discriminate over. Simple solution to the school picture thing....either everyone does it or no one does it. End of story.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
