State history rewritten

Re the July 22 article, Should Florida swap out its statue in U.S. Capitol?: NO, they should not remove the statues. They should have never removed the Confederate Flag in South Carolina.

It’s part of our history. You don’t change history in a free country. That’s what the communists do when they take over and rewrite that country’s history. If you haven’t seen the movie, 1984, you should. We are not that kind of country — at least for now!
