The city of Charlottesville, Va. followed up its removal of two controversial Confederate statues Saturday with the lightning-fast toppling of a third local landmark: a monumental tribute to explorers Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, and Sacagawea.
In an emergency meeting called with 20 minutes’ notice, the Charlottesville City Council voted unanimously to cancel another piece of public art targeted by left-wing activists.
“I feel that it should just be melted down,” Rose Ann Abrahamson, a Sacagawea descendant, said during the council meeting, The Daily Progress reported. “I feel that it’s entirely offensive and it should be obliterated.”

We are living in the Twilight Zone. This has been coming for a long, long time.
what has happened to Virginians?? Have they completely lost it??
Since the city council derives its authority from the evil colonizers who coerced the poor Indian girl to guide them, when do they cancel themselves and head back across the Atlantic?
FTA....Activists claimed the portrayal of Sacagawea is disparaging.
just nuts!
On what grounds? Do you really think you're erasing history just because you take a few statues down. History is there for you to learn from, not judge it. You may not like it but, as Ben Shapiro says, facts don't care about your feelings.
Orwellian Twilight Zone.
Abrahamson…
Sacajawea was Jewish? Who knew??
Sacajawea’s daughter finds her own mother offensive for NOT being racist?
And yes, grandkids are your sons and daughters.
“I feel”
True, and by the way, loved your Freep-page!
If thats the case, i can topple any statute of MLK.
These urban idiots intend to destroy the USA. Collapse it economically and destroy all evidence that we have been here.
Question: What will happen in the 2022 election? If we survive with no conflict that long?
Texas is not like that. We have pockets of that insanity, but 95% of the land area is not in Huge Mindless cities. Rural Texas is not like that. We have cattle, farms, oil and lots of wild game.
If they think we will not defend her, they have badly miscalculated. Guess we will see how really stupid they are.
This is ridiculous.
Like someone called them...American Taliban...erase a culture, replace it with another.
These are not Virginians. They are carpet baggers from DC and points North, or their rotten kids. Lewis and Clark and Sacagawea explored the West and worked together. Can’t have that.
What happened to Trumps 10 years in jail plan? Did Biteme get rid of that as well?
