The United States Mint last month announced that poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou and NASA astronaut Sally Ride will be the first two women featured on the quarter as part of the American Women Quarters program.

Twenty women will be featured on quarters through 2025, with up to five women honored per year as a result of the Circulating Collectible Coin Redesign Act of 2020.

Oh God. Help us.

Figures a America-hating commie like Maya Angelou.

What sense does it make for gov to honor people who hate the thing they govern?

Let’s pick more women they’ll honor, and those they won’t.

Oh you know ugly Eleanor will be there.

Shame on you! Hack writers of insipid poetry should be recognized as much as people who do something useful.

Instead of Maya Angelou, why not someone who actually wrote poetry, like Emily Dickinson? Or Phillis Wheatley.
