I am sure tha there are several sides to each part of this story. Cut down the tree. It stands for nothing good now.
This is exactly the opposite of the story recently posted here of bullies being peacfully bullied by the majority of a school wearing pink to support a new student who was being verbally abused for a pink shirt. An intelligent peaceful, reolution ot a problem. What a better read that was.

I say cut the tree down as well, it symbolizes something now that nobody wants. Of course that wont solve the whole problem but it might help in a small way.
