What they're mainly suggesting is to preserve the memory of a hateful bigot, celebrate his life, and report others who oppose his views—such as racism, xenophobia, and hatred toward gender non-conforming people, Muslims, and Jews—because that seems to take precedence over the safety of those groups.
