More demands. WHEN is someone going to step in and say ENOUGH!? Appease all these little assholes and they have now created a nightmare.

Now Jefferson and George Washington have got to go. :rolleyes:

How in the world do pictures or murals traumatize someone? And of our founding fathers, that have never been an issue before - other than pride in our countries beginnings?

Founding Fathers under attack: Students demand Thomas Jefferson statue removal

---Students at Hofstra University are demanding the school remove a Thomas Jefferson statue.
---The group included other demands as well, including "mandated, comprehensive, cultural competency training.”

Students at Hofstra University protested a statue of Thomas Jefferson on Friday at the second annual event, titled “Jefferson Has Gotta Go!”

The statue has been the center of controversy on the campus and has been defaced with “DECOLONIZE” and “Black Lives Matter” signs and stickers. According to a media advisory sent by the Jefferson Has Gotta Go (JGG) campaign, the protest was held at Hofstra Breslin Hall. Organizers included “students of Hofstra University, staff from Planned Parenthood of Nassau County, and supporters of Hempstead community.”

The group gathered on campus to “expose the culture of bias and discrimination,” as stated in the media advisory, and to demand “the statue of Thomas Jefferson is removed.”

Hofstra College Democrats “want the statue to be removed and [we] stand with the Jefferson Has Gotta Go Campaign,” the group's president, Brynne Levine, told Campus Reform.

High School Mulls Removing George Washington Murals Because They 'Traumatize' Students

A high school in Northern California — George Washington High School, to be specific — is mulling over a push to remove two 83-year-old murals from its hallways. Critics advocating for their removal say they are offensive to Native Americans and African-Americans. They say the pair of panels “traumatizes students and community members.”

A San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) working group says the murals should be removed and put in storage to protect the students.

"SFUSD convened a ‘Reflection and Action Working Group’ that was comprised of members of the local Native American community, students, school representatives, district representatives, local artists and historians," Laura Dudnick, spokeswoman for the district, wrote in an email to The College Fix. "At its conclusion the group voted and the majority recommended that the 'Life of Washington' mural be archived and removed because the mural does not represent SFUSD values," the letter continued.

Every time one of these idiot groups demand removal of all reference to "slave holding" founding fathers, the local school board should say fine and change the name of the school to Lincoln High or Elementary. Then they should hang this picture inside the entrance to the building:

Post a sign underneath that says, "Find out why this is true in history class."

If the schools also serve as local polling stations, maybe they could hang this picture in the hallway:
