Rutgers University-Camden will remove a statue of the famous poet Walt Whitman from the center of campus as a result of activists’ petitions and a recommendation from a committee of scholars.

The statue of Whitman, featured prominently in the front courtyard of Camden’s Campus Center, will be “relocated to a historically relevant site on campus and contextualized,” interim Chancellor Margaret Marsh recently announced in an email to students and employees.

That new location has yet to be announced by campus officials.

Moving the statue will make the RedTards feel virtuous but Camden will still be a hell hole and remain one of the most dangerous cities in NJ.

Oh? Does the Left hate homosexuals now? Was his failure to get a sex change a fatal mistake in their eyes?

IIRC, Bubba Clinton gifted Monica Lewinsky with a copy of Whitman's book Leaves of Grass.

Does this mean that Monica has to give the copy of Leaves of Grass that Bill Clinton gave her back to him?

Obvious homophobia at work here. When you hear “contextualized” you know you’re in for a healthy dose of propaganda.

These statue removers will never match those in Portland.

Portland removed a statue of an elk.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984

At this point maybe we should just get rid of ALL statues of all kinds everywhere to include all ancient statues. The Chinese statue army has to go. Same with all ancient Mesopotamian and Egyptian statues, all ancient Greek and Roman statues. All pre-Columbian Native American statues. Every statue, everywhere.

Maybe they should move it to a cuban gulag or send it to Iran where they can throw it off a high roof.
