They fear where the slippery slope of woke iconoclasm will lead — first it’s Jefferson Davis, ultimately George Washington.


A statue of George Washington was torn down in Portland.

The Berkeley Unified School District has begun the process of deleting the names of George Washington School and Thomas Jefferson School.

This article is out of date already with the idea that they are only after Confederate monuments.

The city and the school district are named after George Berkeley, a slave owner.

Yet the statue of V. I. Lenin still stands, disgraceful.

The target is all symbols and reminders of history. Every Communist regime and every Moslem regime demands that the people believe that History started with themselves, that everything that went before is irrelevant or nonexistent. If no one knows history then they will believe anything they are told by “authorities.” They are not just targeting Democrat history but ALL history. That is why the subject is not taught in the schools any more which itself is why we cannot get the population back. The millennials to a large extant and the Zs almost entirely have no connection with reality and cause/effect as it played out in the past because they know nothing of the past. For them the Past started when they were born.

In Frisco, they tore down the stature of General Grant.

He deals in fantasy. Dates don’t matter. He’s better than you, that’s what matters.

You are correct. They are leveling anything that's a statue. This has very little to do with black this and that. It's ALL about cultural Marxism. Even some on BLM know the cause is fake and a Soros front. America is being erased and there is little push back. There is the fact that this whitewashing is in DNC zones but this will still have a far reaching impact nationwide because the left controls most of the cultural,media,educational and corporate society.

Yes that’s ironic isn’t it. This moron couldn’t see a day ahead. and still we do nothing. The dollar bill will be replaced soon.
only reason it might not be is because most of these idiots don’t even know who’s on it

As I understand it, Washington couldn’t free the slaves he owned because it was illegal to do so in Virginia at the time.

This is such BS.
