The City of San Francisco, where Vice President Kamala Harris started her political career, is set to evaluate roughly 100 monuments to determine whether they should be removed or replaced.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported:
San Francisco is about to embark on evaluating its nearly 100 statues and monuments to figure out which ones no longer represent the city’s values and should be removed from view, relocated or re-interpreted with explanatory plaques.
The debate over the city’s monuments began in 2018 with the removal of the “Early Days” sculpture from the Pioneer Monument in the Civic Center because it represented a Native American seated before a Spanish Catholic missionary. The effort gathered steam amid the racial-justice movement in 2020 that followed the murder of George Floyd. That year, crowds toppled statues throughout the country that glorified Confederate Civil War leaders, which critics said paid homage to the country’s racist past.
In the name of “racial justice,” as Breitbart News reported at the time, rioters toppled a statue of Ulysses S. Grant, who led Union armies in the Civil War, which resulted in the liberation of America’s black slaves. The Chronicle notes that other statues were toppled, such as those of St. Junipero Serra and Francis Scott Key.

That’s an obviously part of the Marxist agenda...to get rid of things that remind people of the culture being overthrown.
I think every Leftist should be required to wear an “explanatory plaque” around their neck. “Here’s your sign.”
Kommiefornia. The conduit for everything bad, perverse and stupid.
This is what happens to a conquered people.
To celebrate the downfall and oblivion of a once great city, the erecting of no San Francisco monuments is appropriate.
Was gets monuments. Isn’t does not
Again I ask....... Where’s Zorro when he’s desperately needed?
“Replace with what?”
Statues of drug addicts relieving themselves on the sidewalks and violent criminals battering bystanders. Those are more in keeping with the San Fransicko of today than the old statues.
yay! Giant poop emoji’s all over San Fran!
San Francisco was still a great city when I lived there in the late 80’s.
Liberals ruin everything.
Destroying history they don’t like
They will replace them with monuments to various homeless people. The monuments will be a large concrete slab with a two-foot-wide bronze sculpture of human poop.
Yes, it was, and, yes, they did.
The San Francisco “living monuments” to the Democrats are scattered about the city - human feces and shopping carts full of homeless’ belongings.
Nothing like changing your values every couple generations, eh?
If joining the military…..Be careful what you sign up to defend
Today’s heroes are history’s toppled monuments
and........ empty Walgreens and CVS’s and Safeways
All they need is some huge statues of TURDS and NEEDLES...
All part of the Jamaicanho/Injun’s plan to erase America from history. There is going to be statues of Pineapples, coconuts and JOBU all over Californicate.
Didn’t SF go bonkers over a visit from the Chinese premier?
San Francisco is sinking into the world’s largest cesspool and they’re worried about statues and monuments?? UNBELIEVABLE.
