I don't think each new generation should remove a structure from the past just becsuse it doesn't fully represent modern values. They add to our culture and make our streets a little more diverse. Loads of people had probably never heard of Rhodes before this campaign was launched so why should we remove the statue to prevent future generations from learning? Take this opportunity to put an information board nearby explaining all about him so that people can make up their own minds about who he was. They say that if we don't learn from the mistakes of our past then we are doomed to repeat it so I don't see the point in removing such an easily accessible piece of history like a statue.
