PC is out of control. Erasing history is one of the key steps on the path to communism. Still trying to figure out what John Muir did wrong. Maybe the enviro-nuts will stick up for him. And the sins of Sir Francis Drake?

Even here in San Diego, which is more conservative than San Fransicko, the Left wants to remove the statue of Christopher Columbus and rename Discovery Park. Without the statue “Discovery” could refer to just about anything. It could be a child discovering nature for the first time.

Can we just go by what these historical figures are most known for? If we only erected statues of morally perfect people whose views conform to our 21st century sensibilities sculptors would go out of business. When most people are asked to name one important fact about George Washington, most non-SJWs do not say, “He owned slaves” although he did.

Riot in the streets and you can get public buildings named after you. But it really doesn’t matter much what the sign on the outside may say. What counts is what’s being taught inside. And regrettably that’s not changing. At least not in the People’s Republic of San Fransicko

Oakland has an area called Rockridge. Maybe they could name a school after the man that saved Rockridge: Sheriff Bart Elementary School.

Oh wait, Truth be told, his mother was Dutch.

Now America is being governed from the ghettos by parasitic people who can’t even care for themselves and live on what others produce.
