Abraham Lincoln High School in San Francisco to be Renamed Because Black Lives Apparently Didn’t Matter to Him
Big League Politics ^ | 12/15/2020 | Evan James

Not even Honest Abe is good enough for these people.

A high school in San Francisco named after Abraham Lincoln, our nation’s sixteenth president, will soon be no longer because he apparently failed to demonstrate that “black lives mattered to him.”

The San Francisco Unified School District evidently does not think that the freeing of the slaves after the Civil War and the ratification of the 13rd through 15th amendments to the US Constitution represents a sufficient legacy for them.

The district isn’t even stopping there. The scrapping of Lincoln’s name will be just one of 44 changes they’re making. George Washington and Herbert Hoover will see their names erased from schools too. Even Dianne Feinstein won’t be spared: she will no longer be named after an elementary school because she ostensibly voted to keep a Confederate flag flying outside City Hall in 1984. (Snopes calls this an unproven allegation, but the San Francisco Bay View begs to differ.)

Last week Big League Politics wrote an article about a Virginia district renaming Thomas Jefferson Elementary School and George Mason High School because the two men were slaveholders.

I have heard that Martin Luther King was named after a boulevard.

When will they be leaving this terrible land?

The problem is Lincoln wasn’t black and their real motives are to simply erase U.S. history.

Not surprising. All whites must be erased.

Not that Lincoln is my ideal. Indeed his “love” for blacks is overrated.

Now I wonder which lovely black thug we must name it for.

Lincoln had a black ancestor. Lincoln did not publicize that particular fact.

If they do that they can't rely on the 'legacy of slavery' meme anymore.

What slavery? They never taught us about any slavery.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

No sale. More likely they'll use it to defend and justify making you the slave.

It is going to be renamed in memory of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor like many boulevards and even some cuisine in the future. Still working on a joint name for the ‘Academy’ and will not include the name ‘High’ out of respect for the civilization-challenged decedents.

Goodbye America . . . and to think that men and women served, fought and died for this??????? Our early patriots lost their lives, property, and everything for a land of the free.

All that's left is to fold the U.S. into the New World Order. Then global-minded people can salute their new "messiah".





Not saying he's the guy. Just that he does a fantastic impression.

Orwell was warning in his 2 classic books about Stalinism. Not life under Stalin in the USSR but Stalinists in the West who zealously supported Stalin in spite of the horrible things he was doing to his own people.

Yes, these are Stalinists we face today.

By any means necessary, truth benders and rule breakers.

Stalinists lie. Always
