That thief! No I dont think so!
haha.
My friend relates this story: Ameria Earhart stayed with his family (maybe grandfather? ) in a town in Illinois before her flight. She was their guest. When she left, a towel was missing.
A story for generations is worth the price of a towel.
Maybe we should come up with another way to honor "heroes" of either sex. Statues seem like something from another era. Plant a tree?
So are you offended by the prospect of Fr. Damien being replaced by someone else, because of who Fr. Damien was, and all the good he did for the lepers? Are you offended by the prospect of more states replacing statues with statues of women?
I get that you are mocking what she is saying, but what about this situation makes you mock her? What is unacceptable to you here?
I think you can be amused and/or concerned by the whole racist, white patriarchy, cancel histrionics thing without being bothered by statues of women, but I'm not sure these days you can do so without having your motivations questioned.

Alan had it right. Not so much offended as amused that someone would point to a memorial of an exemplary human being as an expression of racism and sexism. That someone would be so ideologically addled that they believe honoring the past is a zero sum game that requires tearing down one to elevate another. That someone would be so profoundly silly as to declare “this is what something looks like “when it clearly looks nothing of the sort, and expects thinking people to accept it.
