TIL there's a statue of Confucius atop the US Supreme Court
He is on the left, beside Moses and Solon. He's supposed to "represent the foundational legal traditions and moral philosophies of Eastern civilization that influenced modern law and society."
Apparently the Founding Fathers read and admired his teachings.
I don't know if this is common knowledge, but I just found out about it and found it quite fascinating.
