Hypocrisy, thy name is CoonMan!
Please, find another country to screw up, ahole.
Thank God he’s only got 5 months left on his term.
Soon after the yearbook scandal, some astute Freepers predicted that Northam will eventually get his pander machine running full blast. He wants to bring back the black voters he might have alienated.
Those Freepers were, of course, correct.
Ain’t this great....let’s remove ANY history of slavery from the US...yeah...that’ll show ‘em
This just SHOWS HOW STUPID the BLM and their follows are. Elect a RACTIST as Governor and then have him CON you with this move! The Libs must be stupider than a Neanderthal man.
Demographics of school districts change over time.
I have no problem with renaming a school.
The problem I have is that they are pushing for the change because of the “feelings” of the students.
I shudder to think of the names of hard leftists they could come up with as an “appropriate” name to look up to.
Rename the school to: “Coonman”
That goes for Michelle Lee, Brenda Lee, Christopher Lee, Spike Lee and Stan Lee.
Purity requires it...
So he will order Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Hancock, Revere, Hale, and others removed from history books, along with any names of any individuals in government prior to 2008. This is where history will begin, and the Left will erase all history before that. This is how they did it Nazi Germany, burn the books
"Ideas have consequences"(Weaver).
The ideas of 1776 came out of a set of ideas consistent with liberty.
We tend to forget, or have never considered, that many world views existed then, as now.
Unless today's citizens rediscover the ideas of liberty existing in what Jefferson called "the American mind" of 1776, we risk going back to the "Old World" ideas which preceded the "Miracle of America."
There are those who call themselves "progressives," when, in fact, their ideas are regressive and enslaving, and as old as the history of civilization.
Would suggest to any who wish an authentic history of the ideas underlying American's founding a visit to this web site, at which Richard Frothingham's outstanding 1872 "History of the Rise of the Republic of the United States" can be read on line.
This 600+-page history traces the ideas which gave birth to the American founding. Throughout, Richard Frothingham, the historian, develops the idea that it is "the Christian idea of man" which allowed the philosophy underlying the Declaration of Independence and Constitution to become a reality--an idea which recognizes the individual and the Source of his/her "Creator"-endowed life, liberty and law.
Is there any wonder that the enemies of freedom, the so-called "progressives," do not promote such authentic histories of America? Their philosophy puts something called "the state," or "global interests" as being superior to individuals and requires a political elitist group to decide what role individuals are to play.
In other words, they must turn the Founders' ideas upside-down in order to achieve a common mediocrity for individuals and power for themselves.
The book burners are really on a roll, aren’t they?
“Hamilton” isn’t even safe.
it pains me that we dont spend more time teaching kids that life is full of idiots looking to rattle yoi, and that strength comes from being able to shrug off tiny aggressions like a school named for someone you dislike.
i cant remember spending a minute of my time fretting about whose name was on my school, my street, or my government buildings.
nor do i care, remove all the nsmes, they are buildings, name them for the street they are on.
oh yes, my elementary school was named by the roda.
oh, so is my church. convenient for finding it on a map.
People in VA neve3 seem to tire of all this insanity: in fact they seem to abet it.
we definitrmeky need to remove clintons name, or else it will be like endorsing a rapist.
The American people always believed the title of a book, “It Can’t Happen Here.” But it’s here and embraced by tens of millions.
I wonder if Wikipedia is going to start deleting bios of Confederate figures.
Thank God for that!
