The St. Louis Statue - Should He Stay or Should He Go? #STL

We had Anthony Rogers, host of The Anthony Rogers Show and Republican Candidate for Congress, on for an Underground Interview and we discussed whether or not the Apotheosis of St. Louis Statue should be taken down or whether it should stay up. Was King Louis IX racist? Was he a devout Catholic? Should we really judge history through modern day eyes? Or should history be considered dangerous and removed? Should we change the name of the city of St. Louis? What do you guys think of this?
