What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
Our esteemed leader announced that there will be fines and jail time for anyone defacing or destroying monuments, in the wake of protesters toppling monuments with racial connotations.
Yet within the last month, the President has dismantled an enormous marine monument. During his administration many National monuments have been reduced in size, or lost protections. (Bear's Ears being a good example)
Those National monuments were set aside for all people, to protect sensitive environment, habitat, endangered species, and archaeological as well as spiritual sites.
It is unclear why hundreds desiring the removal of statues of persons who promoted slavery are deserving of punishment, but one person can single -handedly undo protected spaces for the benefit of CEO's of large corporations.
Where's the justice?
