The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled this week that a state law preventing the removal of a Confederate monument or changing a historical name of a street or building is legal.
The removal or change would require action by the state legislature, the court decided.
The Associated Press reported that the decision keeps intact the South Carolina Heritage Act, which has prevented removals and renaming in the state after other states did just that following the death of George Floyd last year while in the custody of the Minneapolis police:
The law was passed in 2000 as part of a compromise to remove the Confederate flag from atop the South Carolina Statehouse dome. The rebel banner was moved to a pole on the capitol lawn, where it flew until 2015 when lawmakers removed it after nine black church members were killed in a racist massacre at a Charleston church.
The law specifically protects monuments from 10 wars — from the Revolutionary War to the Persian Gulf War. It also protects monuments honoring African Americans and Native Americans as well as a catchall phrase of “any historic figure or historic event.”
The AP reported that in the same decision the justices struck down a requirement that two-thirds of the South Carolina General Assembly must approve a move or name change.
Lawmakers in South Carolina said after the flag was removed in 2015 said they would not take further action to erase the state’s heritage.
Obviously, we are reaching the point where we must turn over responsibility of all bibles and history books to out current liberal “rulers”. Same goes for monuments and statues. Further, If you are muslim, you can hate Christians but only people (sic) can hate white people.
Why does Congress try so hard to convince us with this garbage?
So PUT BACK our Confederate Statues then !!!!!! Save American History & Culture !!!!!! Stop erasing it !!!!
