I have to wonder: If some American soldier had shot Hitler between the eyes in, say, 1942, would this "Student Senate" have rejected a memorial to him, too, because he had killed someone?

Are they learning this stuff from the school? Or merely from warped, twisted parents?

I love the smell of communism in the morning...

The school should erect statues not according to the desires of its 'customers' but rather to cheerlead the military. What say you, comrades? Isn't this whole "letting private citizens excercise their rights to property" thing tiresome? Perhaps statues of the current ruling party members should be mandatory at all private institutions?

Note - I realize that this is an exaggeration of the 'opposing' point of view, but this was done to illustrate the original exaggeration. Specifically - "the school elected not to construct a statue of a military figure, ergo the school is a bastion of bed-wetting, crying, liberal peaceniks who care only for political correctness."

The problem with approaching all events with an agenda is that facts and objectivity are invariably sacrificed in the name of said agenda. If you look hard enough for that which you hate - you'll find it.
