The state must be free to reject monuments or, indeed, to tear down
those already erected because the space now has higher and better uses.

This is not the Casper case, where both "monuments" were given by private entities, rather than constructed by the government. While I agree with Sandy that publicly funded monuments are free to take a position on behalf of the govt, I fail to see how the govt can choose between privately donated statues...like these ones. Lynch and Rosenberger and the public forum cases don't give the city much latitude here.
