The destruction of monuments having gravitated from a few confederate generals to every bit of our history insight is an unraveling of all America, if not checked.
As a son of Holocaust survivors – a Jew – shall I call for the destruction of monuments/statues of anti-Semites around America? Where would I begin and where would I end? Ford, Stuyvesant, Tom Watson, Robert Byrd …how about the Pharaohs at the Met? Contextual plaques are one thing – wanton destruction is another.
The hard left cannot be satiated until everything is destroyed.
Laura – you can’t say it – but you are a rare Democrat to stand at a limit. I thank you for refusing to remove Teddy Roosevelt, one of my American heroes and that of my former boss – Gov. Pataki.
Do not be intimidated!

Since no one reads articles and just skims headlines, there is nothing to boast about here.
The Theodore Roosevelt statue standing in front of the Museum of Natural History is, in my opinion, appalling. If I were a person of color, or a Native American, I would be repulsed by it, and I would think people who aren’t would find this PARTICULAR statue singularly offensive.
The one standing in Mineola isn’t offensive to anyone, and Ms.Curran’s stance about keeping it is neither courageous or remarkable.
As is her stewardship of her office. Carry on.
