George Washington High School to Cover Up George Washington Mural

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 advertisement

There’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 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….

“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.

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.

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..

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.

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. 😉

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!

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.

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.

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.
