George Washington High School to Cover Up George Washington Mural

There's no room for Columbus Day in Columbus, Ohio. Or for George Washington in George Washington High School.

There’s plans in the works to cover a mural of George Washington from the halls of George Washington High School in San Francisco due to complaints that it’s offensive and demeaning to Native Americans and African Americans.

The San Francisco school board is expected to decide next week whether to cover the image or paint over it, but there’s no plans among top officials to leave the imagery in the open for students to view, according to several Bay Area news reports.

Only the ignorant want to rewrite history to their own specifications. This is truly sad that a small group of Leftists can do this. You people in CA need to get out there and work to get rid of Pelosi, et al, from local school board members to state Congressmen. (I refuse to say “Congresspeople”; get over it.)

post of the day so far...

Liberals are hypocrites. If they were truly socialists, they would have given HAlf THEIR MONEY back to everyone around them...but they wont.

Isn’t Mount Vernon a wonderful and beautiful place?

We visited last year and enjoyed every second.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Don’t they have to also change the name of the school?

If Washington is so offensive, then to be intellectually honest, they need to strip his name off of the school.

New Orleans changed the name of George Washington school a number of years ago, because he owned slaves. And this was said to offend the sensibilities of the black students at the school.

Oh that’s a good one. While your at it the the parents, teachers and school board you’ll also take the offensive ones off their hands.

Abraham Lincoln
Alexander Hamilton
Andrew Jackson

First they went after the “Redskins”, now they are going after the “Washington”.

[wattsgnu]

Maybe the Washington Redskins really will drop the name “Washington” from their name. lol

[magna carta]

My son and I are reading his biography every morning. This is a disgrace.
It’s time to level every school in the US and “learn ourselves” in barns...we would be better off.

[frank ballenger]

Agreed. They are emboldened every time. Like Tlaib and Omar showing AOC it’s ok to denigrate Jews and Resistance fighters who died in the Holocaust they get pushier the next time.

They should leave and set up shop in a Third World country they ruined.

The country I was born in is the United States and I love the Founders and the Constitution, the Trump voters and our Republic. They can just STFU about that.

[frank ballenger]

Good. Let’s cover the actual faces of Maxine, Warren ,Elijah Cummings and Hillary by those all over the head black hijabs with a slit to look out from. They need those.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Note the slaves in the upper right of (part of) the actual mural.

Can't they just white them out?

[Scrambler Bob]

And this was said to offend the sensibilities of the black students at the school.
= = =

So they should not go to Washington DC to get welfare and other benefit laws passed?

[Scrambler Bob]

OK

“White Them Out”

= = =

You earned yourself 30 minutes facing the corner.

[BunnySlippers]

Guess who’s going to win this one.

[Ingtar]

What are these morons going to do when they realize that the C in DC is Colombia, referring to Columbus?

[hanamizu]

that he requested that his slaves be freed upon his passing.

---

He did better than that. He provided pensions for his freed slaves. No one thinks about it now, but freeing a slave who has been dependent on you for years is a cruelty, unless you provide them some means of support.

Burn it!

> Note the slaves in the upper right of (part of) the actual mural. - Can’t they just white them out? <

That was my first thought as well. In general, my feeling is that history is history. Don’t hide it or try to erase it.

But the mural is in a public high school. And I can see why black kids would find parts of it offensive. If I were on the school board, I would agonize over this. But in the end I’d vote to leave the mural alone.

And as a balance, on the opposite wall put a mural depicting the early civil rights movement. Harriet Tubman, etc.

How about stupid bastards!!!

How are the kids doing in math and reading?
