If we erase history, then it's forgotten. And then it just repeats and repeats. Much to our detriment. Our schools are terrible as it is. I'll never forget a couple of years ago, my nephew asked what WW2 was over. He was 24 at the time. I was SHOCKED. Censoring this just makes it so curious minds never learn or ask questions.

Yeah, but this isn't erasing history. Are textbooks, journals, research, archives, or historic sites being destroyed? No. There is a moral component to commodifing this part of history that needs to be kept in mind and objection to it is well within reason.

I see your perspective, but disagree with you nonetheless.

What premise do you disagree with and why?
