How the left is destroying America. Book burnings to follow.
Painting above:It is thanks to the first lady Dolley Madison that the famous Stuart painting of George Washington survived the British army’s invasion of D.C. in August 1814. As the British neared the White House, Dolley Madison took command of the White House and directed that a Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington be removed. (The Montpelier Foundation)
George Washington High School to Cover Up George Washington Mural
>By Daniel Greenfield, FPM, June 20, 2019
Story continues below advertisementThere’s no room for Columbus Day in Columbus, Ohio. Or for George Washington in George Washington High School.
There’s plans in the works to cover a mural of George Washington from the halls of George Washington High School in San Francisco due to complaints that it’s offensive and demeaning to Native Americans and African Americans.
The San Francisco school board is expected to decide next week whether to cover the image or paint over it, but there’s no plans among top officials to leave the imagery in the open for students to view, according to several Bay Area news reports.
The three options before the board are to obscure the mural with curtains, create acoustic panels to cover it up, or paint over it; each option would cost anywhere from 300,000 to $800,000 to complete, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
This should be followed by a book burning of any volumes about George Washington and any history books featuring him.
Followed by the renaming of the school to something inoffensive, like Vladimir Lenin High School.
Who won the Cold War again?

Tell me what isn’t offensive to these grievance-mongers? They want to erase history and punish people for the crimes of the past. How about growing a spine and saying no? Tell them to suck it up. Good or bad we must remember history so it isn’t repeated, that’s what these retards don’t seem to understand.
george washington is the first president of america, these people dont like america and want a socialist country, thats what this is truely about.
Yes but they still want all the freebies they can suck out of USA
Freebies?? Oh, yeah, you mean plunder. I got it now.
They are just following their leader, satan.
George Washington was a great leader. As far as the founding of this country, he was one of the right men at the right time. Without men like him, we might still be a colony with citizens bowing down to royalty and such. Sometimes it is more than an old man can take….
1984…
“This should be followed by a book burning of any volumes about George Washington and any history books featuring him.” Sounds nuts but, that’s probably exactly what will happen. It is in SF after all, so dont expect anyone there to speak out against this. They all left in the 60’s, just as the hippie movement party was getting started.
Continuous stupidity of public education making mindless morons for the future. Good job.
To know them is to hate them.
The historical accounts do not say that the black man in the picture was a slave. They say he was a member of the White House staff, a servant, no different than the others who did not flee, but stayed with Dolly Madison as the British were but a couple blocks away facing no resistance but the militia, ie the shop keepers with their personal weapons.
In normal times, blacks took pride that they help save the original Declaration of Independence along with Washington’s portrait. One of their ancestors stayed in the breach and evacuated to the waiting fast wagons only when the first lady was in her carriage.
Those screeching for the removal of the mural could not care less what the young man’s position in the household was. He is taking direction from a white woman. This is considered “slavery”.
Those who demanded the removal of this mural should be shunned by their neighbors and any parents of students in that school who actually remain cognizant and proud of the history of America’s founders. If there are any of those left in San Francisco.
He would have been much happier back in his African mud hut.
if its so bad here, why do they want to come here?
They came here with an agenda…..ti destroy this country. The came here to tear it down, destroy its’ history, its’ culture and everything that makes our country and they are gladly helped along by the Left, the socialist, the democrats. ,
When BHO renamed Mt. McKinley to Mt. Denali, it was already clear what his agenda was.
Trump really needs to restore the name of Mr. McKinley.Next they will rename the Reagan Office Building and the USS Carrier Reagan. This nonsense has to stop. This catering to the insane left has to stop. Enough is enough!
Like what he tried to do with the $20 bill, and the libs still want Trump to do ??
the bastards should keep the painting and use it to give a lesson about Paul Jennings
that would be much more efficient.
well you heard me libtards
Can’t fix STUPID with ignorant libturds!!!!!!!
There is absolutely beyond the pale. Totally disgusting. Please remember this in San Francicko. NE of there in the State of Jefferson, we do not behave like them. We are working to secede from California. Looks like at least 8 counties will go out at first plus some from southern Oregon.
That mural is a work of art, To destroy things like this, or to hide or paint over, is an act of barbarity. It’s thanks to George Washington and fellow great Americans, that these students actually have the right to go all progressive and mental….I actually fear for the continuation of USA as a free and open Republic…Education needs a complete 180 degree turn..
When you have people in control that don’t know our history, are ignorant of our history or are just uncivilized, uncultured, lacking in understanding, this is the kind of thing that happens.
Cultural vandalism – all in the name of inclusiveness, No one has ever given me a good explanation of what that is exactly..Does it mean we get rid of winners and losers?..If so, the losers drag the winners down, the winners cannot elevate losers, it just doesn’t work like that.
Some day they will learn that, but it will be too late.
For the future of our descendants, we MUST MAKE THEM LEARN THAT!
How do we do that?
Some day they will learn that, but it will be too late.
How on EARTH can it cost between $300,000 and $800,000 to cover a mural with cheap acoustical panels? Could you POSSIBLY think of something more worthwhile to do with half million dollars?
Yes, start shipping some people back to where they came from.
Cost over runs. The school district is union after all. Their Mafia boss needs new elaborate office furnishings. Wouldn’t it be just sweet if somebody came along and stole it?
The Left following their agenda and following their leader, satan.
When a group of people Literally Applaud at gaining the right to abort/kill a 9-month old baby – – – it Must be demonic possession.
(even if if you support abortion – – how could you literally Laugh and Cheer at that ?? )
Can we give them a socialist government for one day? I think they’ll be screaming before noon.
Send them on a lengthy field trip to Venezuela.
I’m more triggered by the bad grammar: “There’s plans in the works” ?? Repeated twice!
How about: “There are plans in the works…”
Your history IS your country and if these people don’t like their country then they should fk off and live somewhere else.
Without true patriots America would be nothing more than a rudderless landmass.
KEEP AMERICA GREAT!????????
That can only happen in “Filthy California” where the Poop Squads are on Patrol Daily. Remember it is the Land of Fruits and Nuts and then some. Instead of bombing Iran President Trump should just do away with California and be done with the Communist, Socialist, Progressive overrun Democratic Party. “Filthy Frisco” lots of Beauty with very Low I-Q inhabitants.
Land of Fruits, Nuts and Turds.
Now they have offended us! The same rules apply. Uncover the painting.
Have the school give you eye blinders so when you pass the mural you will NOT be offended. We, who are NOT offended, will not be required to wear one. 😉
We do our best to accommodate all crybabies and losers.
Better rename Washington Sate and Washington DC then – what a bunch of snowflakes. Oh – and rewrite the entire history of the USA why don’t they?
That is what Howard Zinn did.
Poop in the streets is okay, but a mural of George Washington isn’t. That’s the
mentality of the Left.
Would not surprise me if they replace the mural with one depicting the prophet Muhammad consummating his marriage with Aisha.
This shows me that parents,grandparents,all who know better and do NOTHING, are the biggest problem.. So, I ain`t to impressed with knocking the public schools. Public Schools should be banned anyway. What impresses me is that people know whats happening and just wag their tongues,tweet,facebook. Basically do what the public schools want. Nothing, are the more dangerous. Whens anyone gone to a school brd. meeting? Or a local Library meeting, or childrens ‘story hour’? Stand up,speak up, push back. And yes, I have done what I suggest. I found it lonely, being the only parent at school brd. meetings. All the whining isn`t going to change a thing.
WHAT????? The leftist control of public education has got to STOP! Not only are these regressive collectivists dummying down the children with their Common Core curriculum, they are deliberately indoctrinating our children to be self-loathing Americans with their leftist political correctness, moral relativity, and historical revisionism. Globalist Betsy DeVos has got to go! America’s future will be determined by what is being taught to our children in K-12 and at universities. Leftist curriculum content is designed to promote collectivism whether it is socialism, communism, or globalism. It is propagandizing and preparing our children to be global citizens so that when they turn 18 they will vote for socialism and then one world government. This is the long-term educational strategy that will collapse America and win the Culture War – no bullets required.
” … due to complaints that it’s offensive and demeaning to Native Americans and African Americans.”
.
Let’ see … Before George Washington came along
1. native americans were killing and in some cases eating each other …they engaged in slave trading, and had a high infant death rate
2. blacks were being sold into slavery, in many cases by other blacks … they were treated badly by those who owned, bought and sold them
3. is it possible these trends might have continued if not changed?
.
After George Washington came along
1. a gradual progression came for both blacks and native americans – treatment of both groups began to change over time
.
George Washington WAS the American Revolution, that threw off the chains of Great Britain and developed America into the most developed country the world has ever known, eventually improving conditions for all, including blacks and native americans.
.
offensive and demeaning? me thinks not!
.
Public schools have stopped teach American History as well as the U.S. Constitution. It is a direct attempt to dumb down America’s youth – and it’s working because PARENTS are allowing it, so are other Americans!! And it’s DESPICABLE because it’s leading to America’s demise!
I grew up in Jefferson county, now live in Washington county. Should I visit Jefferson county before it is covered? Maybe move from this county before it is covered?
Yeah, I know this comment is stupid, but so are the morons tearing down all of our historical monuments and such.
Oh well, San Francisco….what more do you need to know.
Sounds like they have a major problem at that school. I would fire all the staff and admin and shut down the school. Then take the students to a real school and start them out in 1st grade and maybe learn some truth instead of hate and division.
“each option would cost anywhere from 300,000 to $800,000 to complete”. To hang some drapes or paint a wall? I want that contract!
Their motivation for removing the murals of Washington is irrelevant. This is malicious destruction of public property and can be both enjoined and a permanent injunction sought to prevent the School Board from implementing its irresolution. Where is the lawyer and complainants with the balls to bring this action? It can be first launched in a state court and any adverse rulings appealed all the way to the State Supreme Court. Then, federal actions can be brought. In the meantime the first injunction protects the murals. Hopefully, by the time it is resolved he San Andreas fault will have opened up and swallowed this modern Sodom and Gomorrah.
another reason to end the government school, which is owned lock, stock, and barrel by the democrat-muslim party. we have become 2 cultures with irreconcilable differences, and i don’t want to subsidize the american-hating half anymore
Go ahead and cover it up. It’s in San Fran ?? The homeless junkies would have found a way to defecate on it….
And the OFFICIAL reason for this choice of covering? Is there any?
find out and publish the names and emails of the activists leading the charge to defame George Washington at GW High School. persuade San franciscan Michael Savage to lead a demo in front of the school and when the school board meets.
What are the ages of these clowns running the school board? Early 40’s to late 50’s? I am 64 and I am shocked! Shocked I tell you. Really what are the ages of these people and where did they go to school? What qualifies them to hold these positions? God forbid we go to war as this country will lose. there is no united front and possibly a huge Trojan horse just waiting to be unleashed.
