Ironically an even larger mountain carving honoring Lakota Chief Crazy Horse is being carved just a few miles away from Mt. Rushmore on private land and without government funding. Would the UN propose to take that away too?

I first read about Korczak Ziolkowski's monument to Crazy Horse in Popular Science, June 1964 when I was 13. We used to take family trips to Idaho from NY every couple years to visit relatives and always drove by Mt. Rushmore and Devil's Tower. I got Dad to drive by the newly emerging Crazy Horse monument the summer after reading this article and have gone by every 10 or 15 years since. I haven't seen it in maybe 15 or so now...how's progress?
Why do I suspect the UN would want to blow up a monument to four dead white supremacists (the same way the Taliban blew up the two 2,000 year Bamiyan Buddhas) and preserve the monument to the noble savage?
