For those who want to see Fort Gordon renamed, just remember that John Brown Gordon was a Democrat Senator from the State of Georgia for a total of 13 years and was also the Democrat Governor of Georgia for 4 years. Renaming the fort is a stupid and expensive thing to do that accomplishes nothing but childish temper tantrum foot stompers seem to get their way nowadays just to shut them up.

To the ranter who thinks closing churches is against your rights: guess you think this whole virus thing is a hoax, it's no different than the regular flu, social distancing is foolish, etc. Makes me wonder how you treat your fellow church members.

The reason for removing monuments is because they represent painful events in the lives of many. Yet out of these events have risen determination, hope, and faith. One such monument is that of Jesus Christ and many churches show him on the crucifix as a reminder that out of the horrible, life arises.
