Taking down the statue of a fake doctor who practised phrenology and got banned for cutting an aboriginal's head has nothing to do with the "innocent children" of today, you are conflating two completely irrelevant issues.
If aboriginals raped and masscacred indigenous people before them to steal their land and experiment on their skulls, that also is not right. We should also remove statues which honour murderers and thieves regardless if they're aboriginal. Just because someone poke another person's eye out does not justify you can so it. You're conflating two completely irrelevant issues.
As I mentioned above, this is about doing the right thing, it is a matter of human decency and principle. Not viewing history through your own tinted glasses and apply political ideologies whether "right" or "left".
