Why doesn’t Antifa go in there and chop the tree down?
I've read elsewhere that the NPS can't rename the tree, that it requires Congressional action. Which seems silly, Congress should have better things to do. So they take down the signs and remove the name from park literature ala Stalin. Wonder if it's OK to say the trees name?
>>Two national parks in California are removing all mention of Robert E. Lee from informational material even though several majestic sequoias are named for the Confederate general. Sequoia and Kings Canyon parks are removing references to Lee from exhibits, printed and online material as protests against racism and police brutality
Was Robert E. Lee known to be an advocate of police brutality or something?
And so Mr President...................
I have a neighbor who has two adorable Huskies. One is named Grant and the other Lee. I guess the owner needs to put down the dog named Lee.
Hey leftist bedwetters. Thanks for offering to help, but the Confederacy was actually defeated 155 years ago. What would you like to try next, invading Normandy?
I thought Trump gave an executive order about destroying historical monuments.
STATUES COMING DOWN IS START OF A REVOLUTION
GAME ON, PEOPLE! ARE YOU READY?

What about the Sanford and Son episode where Fred buys a horse named General Lee? Will that episode be thrown down the memory hole?
Treasure your DVDs folks...
Yosemite will have to be renamed because, well Yosemite Sam has to be racist.
Lee was the commander of the US Marines who captured John Brown at Harpers Ferry (pre-Civil War). I wonder what they are going to do about Lee references at that national park.
I have no problem with this. Lee was given the opportunity to lead federal troops. He chose the losing side instead. I don’t care about the reason. He fought for the pro-slavery society his own plantation was built on. He lost.
Washington is a very different matter. He was The Indispensable Man in establishing the very Constitution the protesters are able to rely on in exercising their rights of assembly and free speech.
Sucks, but I guess we’ll just have to chop those suckers down because ...............stupidity!
...several steps Venezuela went through on its way from being one of the most prosperous countries in the Americas to a socialist police state and economic disaster:
Statues came down because socialist dictator Hugo Chavez wanted the history erased.
He changed street names for the same reason.
He changed the educational curriculum to erase history and substitute his version.
Some movies were banned, presumably for the same reason.
We’ve seen all of these happen in America just in the past few weeks, with statue destruction happening in blue cities and states from coast to coast, as city leaders choose not to defend them. There’s a petition to change the name of Columbus, Ohio because it’s named after explorer Christopher Columbus.
Without Columbus, America would not exist.
“You guys think it can’t happen to you, I’ve heard this so many times,” Rogliani says. “But always be on guard. Never believe something can’t happen to you. You need to guard your country and your society or it will be destroyed.”
She also notes that Cuban exiles tried to warn Venezuelans that they were seeing similar patterns and events they had suffered, but Venezuelans brushed them off saying they knew what freedom is and they would never surrender it.
That sounds familiar too.
