We had to pass that monstrosity on our last visit to DC monuments. Yeck, and where it’s located to boot emphasizes the ugly.
Our damn schools better not think about going there.
Besides the fact its very theme is PC, I’ll never set foot in there knowing they leave out conservatives.
When I was 13yrs old in 1964 my family moved from
rural NorCal to Prince George’s Co, MD. My dad, a
high school ag teacher, had earned a fellowship to
work on a PhD at U of MD for a year. I recall that much
of the theme of Washington DC involved the Civil War
and the founding of the US.
Fast forward to 2004 when my younger brother and I
took our WWII combat Vet dad to visit the newly
opened WWII Memorial in DC. It was our first trip
back for my brother and I since childhood. We were
shocked to see that every museum, almost every
exhibit was related to race and ethnicity. The history
of the US, including westward expansion could only be
found in the new Native American museum. The line to get
into that museum was too long for a 79yr old Vet with
a cane so we didn’t go. At the Smithsonian my bro and
I individually asked the ladies at the counter why no
Civil War related displays could be found on the Mall.
The response was that we would need to travel to
individual battlefield sites. Incredible. The only
thing that would draw me back to that city would be
a massive protest by fellow conservatives. You name
the issue.
