Wow, this has a lot of support behind it!
From TMZ:
A few of the Confederate statues and memorials in Louisiana have been removed in the past few years, but more than 30 are still standing. A petition circulating on Change.org makes a suggestion: Replace the Confederates with statues of “an actual Louisiana hero and influential human being, Britney Spears.”
More than 20,000 people have signed the petition, which calls on the state’s governor and legislators to “do the right thing,” TMZ reports.
The pitch lists a few of the ways the singer has helped her home state, including raising money for Hurricane Katrina and flooding victims. Spears has “proven her strength of character by not only overcoming highly publicized mental breakdown,” the petition says, “but by continuously working towards improving herself. She’s an inspiration to millions.” Spears, 38, is from Kentwood, and she returned to ride out part of the pandemic, per CNN.
