Here’s a special offer for Mayor de Blasio: Never get around to naming that panel to review possible “symbols of hate,” and we won’t ding you for it.

De Blasio was on vacation when he jumped on what became a national issue in the wake of the Aug. 12 violence in Charlottesville, Va. — and opened the door to pulling down statues and monuments here in the city.

But the issue in Charlottesville just doesn’t apply in New York.

That city is removing a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee because locals now see it as an effort to “claim turf” for the forces of segregation and Jim Crow. That’s also why it changed the name of the surrounding park from “Lee Park” to “Emancipation Park.”

This city has plenty of racial and ethnic strife in its past, but nothing like this. We were firmly on the right side of the Civil War, just for starters.

What Gotham does have is endless legions of grievance-mongers, who will gleefully grab for headlines by fingering some obscure plaque or monument as “hateful” — even though no one ever felt any hate.

De Blasio’s already in full retreat from the idea of messing with Christopher Columbus, and rightly so: You need a politically correct college degree to even think there could be a problem with the statue.

The mayor jumped in without thinking things through and got burned. Now all his commission will do is hand him more hot potatoes, plus perhaps targeting a few obscure monuments no one cares about.

Don’t borrow trouble by trying to slay dragons New York doesn’t have, Mr. Mayor. Take a mulligan and drop the whole idea.
