Perhaps if we judged all statues and other ways of commemorating people against today's standards, we'd rename the whole world, including the months of the year, judging by the antics of certain Romans..

I notice some of the indignation towards the Rhodes statue is coming from African governments and clergy that persecute gays, see women as second class and allow genital mutilation of children.

Yet apparently we are callous for not ripping down his statue.
