Why can't you do that and celebrate the fact we have changed and acknowledge our decency in doing that.
Not to do so is discrimatory toward those of us who refuse to carry the guilt of previous generations.
If we had not changed and still carry on the behaviours we all now find abhorrent it would be the thing to do to remind us.

I suppose you still believe in Original Sin?
