Profs Call to Censor Public Art by Removing NYC Statues of Christopher Columbus and [tr]

More than 100 artists and academics call on the city of New York to censor public art memorializing figures they dislike. The petition sent to the Mayoral Advisory Commission on City Art, Monuments, and Markers cited the Big Apple’s professed “tolerance and equity” in justifying the censorship. The signatories include members of the faculty of Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, as well as CUNY, Barnard, NYU, and other schools located in the city. The statues the group seeks to remove include ones of Christopher Columbus and Theodore Roosevelt.

Since there are no Confederate memorials to tear down in NYC the Left has to go after Columbus and Teddy.

So many bleating sheep, so easily stampeded.

Or, the profs could just move to Havana.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Censor, but remember folks, the right are the oppressors.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Funny, I don't recall them having any problem with this.....

Photo looks like a parade review in Red Square.

[Fightin Whitey]

One hundred dipsticks in a city of ten million.

Gee we better get on it!

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

How long before they demand one of these? Yes this is real....

Don’t they look sharp standing tall in front of a giant representation of a dead mass murder!

Albanian SS Nazis love the Clintons for giving them Kosovo. Oh and the image is reversed.

Oh and the image is reversed.

I thought so too, but look at her name on the base. Something odd about this pic.

[PIF]

Here's another view, possibly the original before it got P'shoped into what was posted. A search will turn up the posted image.

You know, that looks very nice. I’ll bet that Hillary would enjoy living there. She could gaze at the statue and think of what might have been.

[Theodore R.]

I guess TR should have stayed in ND, or was it SD, where he operated some ranches in the middle 1880s. People in NY no longer admire TR.

Thanks C19fan.

[Monkey Face]

Especially with that arrogant sob in front, with his nose in the air...just like he would if he smelled his own stench...

[Rebelbase]

No way NYC Italians will allow this to happen, God bless them.

[Mr. K]

I remember an old movie about the communist takeover of a country.

I was young and politically naïve (stupid) and I wondered why on earth they would capture and kill college professors.

Now I can see why - they needed their people in there to teach their propaganda.

columbus was a great explorer. His expedition ld to the founding of the greatest nation in history. I am proud that he is Italian.
