Be sure to thank Nikki Haley for kicking off this erasure of American history.
Should spend that $600,000 on more pressing issues, like cleaning up the urine/feces reeking bus stops and public transport. Though that probably will need a couple more zero’s behind that figure.
Yeah, wiping it out just bothers people because it's "art." No other reasons.
This is like the sad SCOTUS ruling that the Peace Cross in Maryland can stay just because it is an old relic, not because of Constitutional protection of religion.
$600K? Dang... the price of a 5 gallon bucket of paint must have increased a lot.
(P.S. - wonder who’s getting to hold the remaining $599,850?)
They're sending a turd? No need, we're good.
Yesterday on July 4th FReepers gave their ideas as replies to a hread on what the Founding Fathers would say about America today.
If George Washington can see this today from his place beyond Earth, I hope he can forgive us for waiting for God's word on what to do.
Mao Zedong did the same thing
Cultural revolution
What could go wrong?
Common totalitarian train of thought. Appreciate history? No, wipe out history. Re-write it.
Cultural marxism.
1. “Hey, we want a Washington mural that accurately depicts the suffering of marginalized ethnic groups..!”
2. Mural created
3. “Hey this mural is really offensive..!! You’ve made us into victims..!”
The trend has not abated, apparently.
These people would feel right at home with ISIS terrorists.

Destroying art! Next they’ll be burning books - sounds familiar?
The next step will be to change the name of George Washington school. I’m sure someone is triggered by liberal San Francisco having a school name for Washington.
New Orleans deleted the name of George Washington school. They did so because Washington owned slaves, and that offended the sensibilities of the school board in New Orleans.
They renamed the school after a black heart surgeon.
No word as to whether the increased self esteem of the almost all black student body improved academic achievement, when they were no longer burdened with attending a school named for George Washington.,
American Talibans at work - Cultural genocide.
If they are bothered by a mural depicting George Washington, they should leave and surrender their passport and renounce their citizenship at the US embassy as soon as they arrive at their new country.
They are doing the same thing to historic murals in Chicago Public Schools. Standard communist practice.
The democrat comunist party is erasing our history!
Their revolution continues
