This post was about removing a specific statue, not all statues. But, I'll play along. I think it would have the same detrimental effect to society that waiving a magic wand and eliminating all fountains, all murals or other works of art would have. Statues, at their best are beautiful works of art that convey a message, often but not always of historical significance.
