Please help me to understand as a citizen of the City of Columbus why the statue of Christopher Columbus is being removed from City Hall. It makes no sense to me . What gives you the right?

Why don't the people, and I mean a majority of people, get a chance to decide the removal or nonremoval of the statue. Sounds like the mayor's office let's a few bullies call the shots.
