If you'd rather have these items stay, would you be okay with things being added? What if some Buddhist group did something noteworthy for a state. Would it be okay then to put a Buddha statue in a government building?

I have thought about this actually. And since the removal of the flag which is on the premise of it being a reminder of time of hate and is offensive.
I can see why the statue is being discussed to be removed as its a reminder of the same thing.
However I also thought maybe to ease those that dont want the flag removed to have a confederate military statue placed next to to the one about slavery.
Or just move the one about slavery to another park as that's more appropriate.
Leave the government buildings plain so they can just focus on government. And make parks the place to do the remembering
