Petition Wants Britney Spears Statues To Replace Monuments

(Radio.com) In the wake of deadly Charlottesville protests, statues commemorating have become lightning rods. Last week, some petitioners suggested replacing a Virginia statue with Missy Elliott. This week, Britney Spears fans want to see monuments to the Confederacy in her home state of Louisiana replaced with tributes to the resilient pop star.

"Not only has Britney proven her talent, but she's proven her strength of character by not only overcoming highly publicized mental breakdown, but by continuously working towards improving herself. She's an inspiration to millions," the petition reads.

"She's already earned her star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame, and now it's time for her home state to honor her with the tribute that she deserves." Read more here.
