The irony is the mural was painted by a devout Communist. He painted GW but also highlighted slaves and the cost Native Americans as the colonies and states pushed westward.

Other options included covering the mural with panels, which would cost up to $825,000

In blue state government bureaucracies, even social justice virtue-signaling is really expensive.

“I don’t want to go to court,” said board member Faauga Moliga, prior to the vote. “But if it comes down to it, then that’s what we have to do. I would like for these murals to be painted down.”


Faauga Molina should take a tip from the Mayor Daley of Chicago. When he wanted Meigs Field closed, he sent bulldozers in the middle of the nights and destroyed the runways. Faauga should send in crews tonight with jackhammers and take care of business. Let the citizen who object sue all they want, the mural will be gone.

It’s ironic that the mural was done by a WPA artist who actually wanted to show the evils of America, and I believe he went back to the USSR. You’d think the wackos would like that.

Me either. These people have never seen a painting of American Indians?

I am supposedly 1/32 cherokee with family involved in the trail of tears yet I am baffled as to how this mural is offensive.

But if it needs painting over I could do it in a few days and it wouldn’t cost much. This is liberal California, right? Heck they could let some street artists to paint over it for free and make it hip and all. $600K? No wonder California is going broke.

Can’t see anything even a leftest freak could find offensive.


It’s the truth they find offensive. You cannot have rational discussions with them. They are hateful, mentally deranged people. They need psychiatric help. The lot of them.

"saying the removal equates to necessary reparations for historic wrongs."

”… it’s also about righting a wrong.”"

How exactly is anybody compensated, or a wrong righted, by removing mural?

Are desperate Democrats somehow winning votes with politically correct hatred for mural?

Based on students(?) walking down stairs by mural, mural is evidently no competition for smart phone.

The Buddhas of Bamyan were 2 6th-century statues of Gautam Buddha carved into the side of a cliff in the Bamyan valley in the Hazarajat region of central Afghanistan, 230 kilometres (140 mi) northwest of Kabul. They were dynamited and destroyed in March 2001 by the Taliban, on orders from leader Mullah Mohammed Omar, after the Taliban government declared that they were idols.

Painting over the mural would cost at least $600,000, with the majority of the cost in producing an environmental impact report.

You need an environmental impact report for a couple of coats of paint inside a building?

I would be willing to go to San Francisco and paint it over a weekend for only $300,000!

A mural depicting piles of human waste would be an appropriate replacement.

“Cerebral Cortex is made up of tightly packed neurons and is the wrinkly, outermost layer that surrounds the brain. It is also responsible for higher thought”

Cortex cancer continues to attack the administrations of el/hi schools and universities.

Maybe they could get the folks who blew up the giant Bamiyan statues to come blow up the mural.

Yes! Exactly.

Or it could be historical. (Note: Not hysterical)

I haven’t seen the mural, but could it actually depict history?

I would think that people who hated slavery and the perceived wrongs done to Native Americans, would want the deeds heralded.

The Left is just too stupid for words.
