Oak Park cannot handle the truth so another public mural must be removed.

Removing history, one piece at a time. The Revolution is underway. And the fools just let it happen.

Why are the students dictating how they should be taught?

a local historian likened the removal to a modern-day book burning.
That's how I felt when the City of Pittsburgh decided to tear down the monument to Pittsburgh native Stephen Foster because the songs he wrote were "racist".
Earth to Cretins: In 1840 virtually NOBODY held racial attitudes what we would consider to be enlightened today.

Whatever the SJWs want, do something else.
They want a statue gone? Put up another.
They want a place name changed? Take back a blame already changed.
These twits COULD have added a second mural to reflect changes in the community and show that kids are kids in all ages ... instead, they’ve just got no class.

I like the South Park flag solution: just make the lunch mob multi-racial.

Why didn’t they just black-face some of the kids in the mural?

The school should have told the kids that it does represent each and everyone of them - AMERICAN CHILDREN AT PLAY!

Rather like "The Family Shakespeare" of the 19th century or the practice of discretely covering the
legs of tables.
What a bunch of morons!

“You cant erase history”
They can and they will.
Illinois and the rest of the upper midwest has preened for decades about how open and inclusive they were while sneering at the South and the Southwest for their attitudes.
So they wanted this.
Now that their kids will be the minority, their history will be obliterated and denigrated, what grounds do they have to complain? This is the Nirvana they claimed would result.

We had a huge WPA painting at my high school that was used as a backdrop for the stage. It showed very serious students holding beakers etc. and looking into a glorious future. Don’t remember if there were any black kids, but then there was only one black kid that attended when I was going there. Yes, Long Beach, California had pretty much segregated schools in the 60s. Wonder if the painting is still there.

You cant erase history.
Sure you can. Stalin did it with his vanishing Commisars.
As an aside Oak Park is a Sanctuary City. Im sure this High School would welcome 10 or 15 busloads of Diversity.
