Public school educated vandals. Main stream Democrats.

Thanks SJackson. What an unusual circumstance -- a modern history topic for the GGG weekly digest ping. :^)

Pretty good evidence that history isn't taught anymore in public schools.

No wonder they can't place those Confederate heroes in any kind of historical context. They think they should be judged as 2019 people because they have no clue what people were like in the 1860's.

“Yeah, they should have gone to NOLA and targeted Andrew Jackson”

Dinesh D’Souza is already on that bandwagon. Seems like some imports from the Indian subcontinent enjoy trashing American heroes who don’t measure up in political correctness.

More evidence that the people that did it are idiots.

As well as the reporters. “...attempting to set fire....” would have been better.

“And this is assumed....why?”

Probably because demonizing anything and anyone connected to the Confederacy is approved of by the politically correct of both Parties, ranging from Nikki Haley Republicans to AOC Democrats.

“With enough dynamite and gasoline, anything will burn.”

Obviously, they just didn’t use enough of either.
