Oh look, a statue of President Grant was just torn down.  You know, the one who defeated the confederacy, destroyed the KKK, and promoted civil rights for freed slaves.  The monster!

That's what we get for electing two clowns in a row.

Seattle Schools agrees I @#$% you not.  I used to teach there

https://reason.com/2019/10/22/seattle-math-oppressive-cultural-woke/


I think I just read an article that Harvard or one of the other Ivy leagues was going a similar route and looking at a grading structure for math by race, so that POC (barring Asians of course) could say 2+2=5 and be correct, while whitey would be wrong if he didn't say "4".

I simplify, but something like that anyway - looking at "interpretive mathematics" or somesuch.

It probably be more like if a POC says 5 whitey better say 5 also

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

Star-Spangled Banner out, "Imagine" in.

I don't know where the writer has been but they've been after TSSB for years

"Imagine" is just a leftist, anti-Christian, anti-religion, globalist anthem.  Why would I want that song to represent me?  It does represent well the empty headed SJW fools who follow the social media mobs where they go.

Quote
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

At this point it's just easier if they say, "We want to ban or remove anything related to the founding of the United States. That way we all know where everyone stands, and it saves time.

More kneel before me BS. We could power NYC just by hooking up a generator to MLK's spinning body right now.

A little different look at statues of people and what we should think of them.

Man, am I glad I left Cali. Goodbye John Wayne (airport):

At this point, John Wayne would probably have preferred to have his name taken off anything in California.

True that.
