Don’t erase our history or deny our past. Leave our culture be!

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

You cannot deny history but you can learn from it. Removing any trace of it, including statues, is immoral, criminal and offensive. We want the government to act and stop the defacing and removal of statues and removal of TV programmes. Preserve and protect and educate!
We are offended by attempts to erase history and culture that are part of the fabric of society in the name of race.
