Slavery was a part of history, I don’t get what they are attempting to do by erasing the past. Seems remembering it and making sure it doesn’t happen again is the way to go. It’s just amusing to me to see the Wahoos, who have long idolized MR JEFFERSON, now confronted with the dilemma of how to deal with him now that he’s in disfavor.

That is my take on it. This visual eradication of American history got its starts in academia. The left went after any institution that used Indians as mascots. Once they gained some success, it was on to bigger and better targets of opportunity. Past history often isn't pleasant. Trying to sanitize, hide, remove, and ignore it is a big mistake, IMO.
