All of it comes down to one overarching point. Remember and Repeat it:
They should never have gone up in the first place.

As I have mentioned before, statues and monuments are more of a reflection of the artists than anyone else.

They're a reflection of the patrons; those who PAID to build (assemble from stock pieces
in the case of these trashy examples) and then install them on public grounds.

Who were the racist patrons that did these things?

I don't have a constitutional law degree so I have no idea what the courts will rule, but history will surely find this egregious in a supremely obvious way. That there is a Jim Crow-era confederate monument sitting on public land in front of a court house in 2021 (and the site even used to be a slave market, for god's sake) is just so surreal that if a movie writer came up with the idea people would be like "jeez, try and be a bit more realistic and subtle. America isn't THAT racist." And yet here we are.
