Slavery and Columbus are an integral part of the foundation of this country. Nazism, as far as I know, was not an integral part of Germany.

Sure, add more memorials but how will these be viewed in 200 years?

The ecstasy that is engulfing the country, demanding the removal of all things that do not meet today's ideas is, really, reminiscence of the "cultural revolution" of China. Is this what we want?

And... will Ohio change the name of its capital?
