But is it a woke opinion to erase historical record?
I think folks just ask that it be not given legitimacy. As that piece says, there should be a limit to tolerance or tolerance of intolerance leads to, well, where we are today with respect to fascism world over.
Erasing problematic media is bad. We must preserve history, even the worst parts of it. Pretending like it never existed erases the real humans hurt by such things, and prevents growth going forward.
