So what will the apologists do now? They laughed at Trump for suggesting a purging of the Founding Fathers.
Then they said it would never happen in Texas.
Then they said Sam Houston was untouchable.

Dallas ISD is researching the histories of Ben Franklin, Sam Houston, Thomas Jefferson and 17 other historical figures, looking into whether their connections with slavery or the Confederacy should prompt reconsideration of their names on DISD campuses.
Last Thursday, DISD administration recommended changing the names of four schools honoring Confederate generals: Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee, Albert Sidney Johnston and William L. Cabell elementary schools. During that discussion, it was mentioned that there is a much broader list of at least 21 names that bear further investigation, if trustees were compelled to do so.

The fact that Benjamin Franklin (the greatest American who ever lived) is on this list makes me want to cry.

"Slippery slope" might be a logical fallacy when having an argument but it's still a logical inference that often times does predict the future.
This wasn't something that was hard to predict. When you understand the mindset of these people, you can know exactly what they are going to do, assuming they act consistently with that mindset. It's why sexual deviancy is being pushed further and further and why these fascist snowflakes are going to attack more and more vestiges of our past.

This isn't a slippery slope, this is a terminal velocity freefall.

Do you change the name of the city of Houston, since it was named after a racist and all?

Just yesterday I was driving from Houston to Huntsville and when I passed the statue of San Houston ,there was 5-6 AA reading the plate and I thought to myself I know which one is next.

I'm predicting this Sam Houston statue in Texas isn't going anywhere any time soon.

What the hell does Benjamin Franklin have to do with any of this?

Weather is racist. Franklin discovered electricity because of lightning. Therefore, racism.

Let's be honest as to what's really been behind this the entire time
Statues of white people are not ok

SJW's always have to have a cause to rally around. Thus, the outrage must to be perpetual.

Interestingly, they've left Woodrow Wilson HS off of the list...
Seriously, DISD cannot hire enough teachers every year. No one wants to work there bc the conditions are terrible. Many of the schools are run down and have 20-30 portables littering the school yards. You'd think they'd want to put their time and money to better use...

New York should be front and center for a name change, named after the "Duke of York", infamous 1600's slave trader.

George and Weezie Jefferson are going to be eaten by their own. Oh well.

And no one will make a stand, the minorities will continue to be offended by more even ridiculous things on and on.

the dutch were the most prolific slavers...those weren't American boats crossing the atlantic, you know, because America didn't exist
I swear I think moron millennials think American ships sailed to Africa, stole slaves, and headed back despite being colonized by 3 European powers in the 17th century.
