At some point we can't keep our heads in the sand and dismiss everything as simply "mob rule" when society tries to grow to move beyond its troubling past. 

I thought you were supposed to be a gteacher who knew about history.

So tell me when society ever advanced without some sort of rules or laws to control behavior.  How does it usually turn out when one group says they don't need any authorization from anyone to do whatever they want?

What is your guarantee that everyone will agree with every action taken by every mob?

I have no problem with removing offensive statues.  But I have a BIG problem with a group of radical activists making that decision instead of "society".
