The only exception to where a statue of Lee should never come down is on the battlefield at Gettysburg for example.  That statue depicts actual history on that space of ground it is on. A statue of Lee in a park in Arkansas or wherever doesnt depict actual history but instead represents something else entirely imo.

I can see a case for that, or in the guy's home town. But it's pretty surprising to me (who has lived south of Ohio his entire life, and spent a good deal of time between Mississippi and Florida) the number of monuments to Lee, with little or no connection (wikipedia partial list below).
