A bronze statue of George Washington on horseback stands at the corner of 51st and King Drive, at the northwest entrance to Washington Park.
Bishop James Dukes, pastor of Liberation Christian Center, said he wants the statue gone, and he wants George Washington’s name removed from the park.

Do you really think THIS is a winning argument?
The Left isn't into nuance

But it is the truth.
What we are dealing with are people who are not interested in the truth.
And we can scream all points of reason and it will have absolutely no effect.
