People are more than their achievements, we shouldn't aim to silence someone because they are speaking hard truths about someone that history considers a hero. Pretty much every 'Hero' in history is deeply flawed and operated in a shade of grey, to ignore that for the sake of their legacies is revisionist history at it's best.
Churchil did a lot for the country, he was also a bastard and, like many people at the time, he had views that would be considered racist today. I don't see the issue with talking about the more problematic aspects of his life for it's a part of who he was.
