Move over Christopher Columbus, it’s Peter Stuyvesant’s turn to get scorched in the monuments war.

A Jewish activist group is now demanding Mayor de Blasio scrub all traces of the anti-Semitic Dutch governor from city property — even Stuyvesant High School — as part of his campaign to rid the city of “symbols or hate.”

[C19fan]

I called it. These Leftists and grievance groups are so predictable. Stuyvesant was the last Dutch Governor-General of what is now NYC. He was a hardcore Calvinist and hated Jews, Catholics, and other non-conformist Protestants. Lots of stuff in NYC is named after him.

Silly jews the left cares not for your grievances. Enjoy your time on the progressive plantation...

[Dr. Sivana]

I was engaged to a gal who went to Stuyvesant High School. They would likely be first in line to order its own decommission. Magnet school lefties.

Their team name is the Peglegs.

All traces of America must be removed if we are to become good and obedient communists. Americanism and communism do not mix well. Freedom always get in the way of setting up communist “governments”. Always.

And I heard on my drive to work, that Mayor DiBlasio or his cohorts are calling for the destruction of President Grant’s Tomb because it is a “symbol of hate.”

[C19fan]

Jewish grievance groups are driving that because Grant kicked out the Jews from KY and TN for black market activity and smuggling.

Malcolm X everything has got to come down.

Have you ever heard him talk about white people?

[fruser1]

Yes, in fact, get rid of all the dutch names in NY.

As a nice side-effect, visitors from out of town will make fools of themselves by mispronouncing things much less often.

No help on the Indian stuff though.

oh, this is so precious!! Schumer’s daughter went to Stuyvesant H.S., the city’s academic pride and joy.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yep, these leftists have to go after Stuyvesant. Among other things, there’s the neighborhood, Bedford-Stuyvesant. They need to change the name of that neighborhood.

Can they at least leave his wooden leg?

[miss marmelstein]

I lived in Stuyvesant Town in the mid 70s!

[C19fan]

Considering how bad Bed-Stuy is I think Stuyvesant would give a thumbs up for removing his name from that hood.

[Dilbert San Diego]

LOL, yep, what would he think of his name attached to a bad neighborhood??

[Red Badger]

An entire neighborhood must be renamed...................

They have time to worry about things that happened 350 years ago? They need to get a life.

[Vaquero]

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

And then the Bible! The Bible hates gays, you know.
