Hi Miss (name withheld),
I think Mikey laid out the facts, in case you’re interested in facts. But I’m afraid, based on what you’ve said here, that you might not be interested in the facts at all. Your use of the term “cancel culture” and your assertion that what we’re doing is somehow “anti-American” leads me to suspect that you’re in the habit of filling yourself with the kind of misinformation that’s all too available these days from those less interested in truth and more interested in pushing their right-wing agenda.
But for the record, we’re well aware of the fact that Americans “are free right now to be a Christian or not.” In fact, most of the people associated with our organization are Christians. But they’re also people who believe laws should be honored and obeyed, so when they see that something violates the law they do something about it.
That’s what this little issue is about, which you’d understand if you knew the facts. So I hope Mikey’s explanation has clarified things for you. If so, let us know. If not let us know that and I’ll be happy to help clarify it.

Equality feels like persecution to those who have only known privilege.
“Americans are free right now to be a Christian or not.”
Yes, and the U.S. military helps defend that freedom. But Americans are also free to be Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, Sikhs and every other religion they may choose to follow, or that they grew up in, but using public resources, including the land on which that memorial was illegally placed, as well as those of the U.S. Armed Forces, themselves, seriously impiges on all those other religions who aren’t being given the same unfair advantages that you apparently believe only Christians are entitled to.
