This is good news, reality wins the day!
The controversy over the large mural at George Washington High School centers on parts of the frescoes depicting slavery and white settlers stepping over a dead Native American.What?? the Dems want to hide a chance to criticize crackers?
Seriously speaking - hiding the fact that there was slavery and that native Americans did die (wounded knee etc.) serves only to make people repeat the errors. It is just as bad as blaming the "white people" today for the murders of the past
Blacks “experience trauma” when they see this?! Hahahahaha!! Well I’m traumatized every Feb during black history month.
“controversial”
As controversial as a talking human doll was in Planet of the Apes. Banished to the Forbidden Zone.
Seriously. What happens when these kids get jobs? I fear for employers. We had some of this stuff happen back in the 1980s in NYC but it is now out of control.
Here’s a thought. How about making this an opportunity to actually TEACH the students about life during the founding of this country? About how the American Indian enslaved neighboring tribes and white settlers after defeating them in battle? Or how people on the frontier were brutalized by marauding Indians?
In the dead of night it will be defaced , watch
A stay of execution at best - you cannot compromise with evil. Doing so only enrages and empowers them even more.
That mural will be defaced or somehow ruined in the dark of night - with no witnesses or clues of course.
Still, a small victory nonetheless.
Good guys win one.
...survive, but be obscured, semi-permanently...
IOW, somebody thinks the communist madness might not last forever.
I expect eventually they will delete the name of George Washington school. And the reason will be that he was evil because he owned slaves.
New Orleans deleted the name of George Washington school because he owned slaves. They renamed the school after a black surgeon. No word, though, as to whether the increased self esteem of the black students resulted in greater achievement, once they were spared the burden of attending a school named for a slaveowner.
