George Washington, the guy on the quarter, could soon be facing the ax in San Francisco as surely as his fabled cherry tree.

The president of the San Francisco school board thinks it’s time to consider renaming schools that bear the names of slave owners — including Washington and his friends and fellow presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe.

Are these idiots aware that black africans did the enslaving? They enslaved weaker tribes and sold them all over the world?

What do they rename the state of Washington? When do they take down the Washington Monument? What is the new name of our nation’s capital?

It’s a sickness, a mental illness, a depravity of the soul.

Can’t wait for them to remove Jefferson’s name, you know, the guy who freed the slaves, off a school, because he owned slaves.

So, you have to be a sinless saint in order to keep your name on a school? Sorry, but this means that only Jesus Christ will remain as the name of schools.

Board President Matt Haney sounds like a poofter that was stiffed by his ex-boytoy for another slave holder. Another punk with the mumps in the dumps while pumping his way into his hat.

No, they were the greatest slaveholders. Wait, I forgot that Liberals do not follow logic.

Well at least they won’t be naming any schools after that morally depraved individual Mohammad.

“Prophet, We have made lawful to you the wives to whom you have granted dowries and the slave girls whom God has given you as booty.” (Qur’an 33:50)

“Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported: There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man).” (Muslim 3901)

‘Allahu-Akbar! Khaibar is destroyed, for whenever we approach a (hostile) nation (to fight), then evil will be the morning for those who have been warned.’ Then the inhabitants of Khaibar came out running on the roads. The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives. She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet. The Prophet made her manumission as her ‘Mahr.’” (Bukhari 5.59.512)

“Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Apostle was on a journey and he had a black slave called Anjasha, and he was driving the camels (very fast, and there were women riding on those camels). Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Waihaka (May Allah be merciful to you), O Anjasha! Drive slowly (the camels) with the glass vessels (women)!’” (Bukhari 8.73.182)

Even the District of Columbia is going to have to have its name changed. It’s named for the villain who started it all.

We need to have a conversation about this,” Haney said. “Especially at George Washington High School. We have school names in San Francisco that are not relevant or meaningful or inspire pride.

??????????
