    Charlottesville removes Confederate statues, including one that sparked deadly far-right rally.
    USA Today (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 80% • 3 min read

    Dozens of people lined the block and cheered as the bronze statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee was hoisted off its pedestal. Streets were blocked off, and there was a visible police presence. The statue of Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson came down soon afterward.
    ...
    This past April, the Virginia Supreme Court made a final ruling in favor of the city, which voted Wednesday to appropriate funds for the removal. The city said it reached out to museums, historical societies, government, and military battlefields to inquire about their interest in acquiring the statues and received ten responses so far – six out of state and four in-state.
    ...
    In August of 2017, white supremacist and neo-Nazi organizers gathered for a "Unite the Right" rally to protest Charlottesville's decision to remove the statue of Lee. That afternoon, a self-identified white supremacist rammed his car into a crowd of counter-protesters, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

Context: President Biden issues several executive orders to increase market competition

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

Yes - The president is to execute the laws the congress passes, not create law. Currently, presidents are interpreting and reinterpreting laws as they see fit, creating confusion and causing a whiplash. Congress needs to get back to passing laws. And yes, this means they must compromise and upset their bases. But compromise is good for the country.


Unsure - Yes they should be curtailed—the “Executive Order” (insert big booming voice) has been used way to often by the Presidential office over t...



No - No, because if left to their own devices, Congress will keep ea...
