Still got faith in the US Government? It's a sad commentary on US that our elected officials are behind this. I would say it was catering to 13% of the population, but it is in fact catering to system of revolution. Hope y'all's retirement plans include a hidden farm in an obscure area that is self-sustaining. These twits won't come out of their cities for that. When they come for it, they'll be sending US troops.

The House Appropriations Committee has advanced a new bill, which includes a provision to target Confederate symbols in national parks across the U.S.
Last week, House Democrats passed the fiscal 2021 bill for the Interior Department along party lines. It would require the National Park Service to take action against Confederate monuments, statues and plaques.
“The bill includes language directing the architect of the Capitol to remove statues or busts on the U.S. Capitol that represent figures who participated in Confederate army, as well as the statues of individuals with unambiguous records of racial intolerance,” explained Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.). “They have no place in the greatest legislative institution in the world.”
Additionally, the bill would ban the NPS from using funds in the bill to purchase or display the Confederate flag, unless used in a historical context. The measure would also require the Interior secretary to submit an inventory of the assets that have Confederate names to Congress.
“We must recognize and confront the horror of institutional slavery and those who fought to preserve it,” stated Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.). “These painful symbols of support insinuate slavery, treason and racism, and have no place in our country.”


President Trump has openly criticized the removal of monuments around the country.
He has recommended 10 years in prison for anyone who defaces national monuments. The president also promised that no military bases named after Confederate generals would be renamed.
“I just think it is freedom of speech,” he said. “Whether it is the Confederate flag, Black Lives Matter, or anything else you want to talk about: it’s freedom of speech.”

This came after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for the removal of Confederate portraits in the Capitol and Confederate statues displayed in the Capitol complex.
Moreover, this is not the Democrats’ first attempt to remove Confederate symbols. In 2015, a similar amendment was drafted to ban Confederate flags from national cemeteries. The idea was shot down, as Republicans controlled the House at the time.
The bill is currently awaiting a vote on the House floor next week, where the Democrats have the majority. However, the Republican led Senate, where the bill is likely to be revised, may come out against the monument provision.
