Everyone knew it wouldn't end with four monuments being removed. In addition to removing the statue of Andrew Jackson, Take Em Down NOLA has issued a listed of statues, streets and building that have to go because they're "psychologically terrorizing".

My favorites are the last of the McDonogh schools and John McDonogh statue. Followed closely by Touro Hospital and Tulane University. Good luck with that.


Take 'Em Down NOLA list of targets for removal or renaming:

Street names

Palmer Avenue

Calhoun Street

General Taylor Street

Claiborne Avenue

Galvez Street

Jefferson Davis Parkway (Mayor Mitch Landrieu has also called for Jefferson Davis Parkway to be renamed after recently retired Xavier University president Norman Francis).

General Ogden Street

Ulloa Street

Tulane Avenue

Governor Nicholls Street

Poydras Street

Forshey Street

General Early Street

Robert E. Lee Boulevard

Beauregard Avenue

Walker Street

Mouton Street

Bragg Street

Lane Street

Polk Avenue

Slidell Street

Lee Street

Beauregard Drive

General DeGaulle Drive

School names:

Tulane University

Henry W. Allen Elementary

McDonogh 35 College Preparatory High School

KIPP McDonogh 15 School for the Creative Arts

ReNEW McDonogh City Park Academy

Lusher Charter School

Lusher Charter Elementary School

Hospital names:

Touro Infirmary

Tulane Medical Center

Monuments:

P.G.T. Bureaugard, at the City Park entrance near Esplanade Avenue.

Jefferson Davis at Canal Street and Jefferson Davis Parkway.

Rev. Abram Joseph Ryan at Jefferson Davis Parkway and Banks Street.

Confederate Brig. Gen. Albert Pike monument at Tulane Avenue and Jefferson Davis Parkway.

Henry Clay at Lafayette Square.

World War 1 Memorial arch at 3800 Burgundy Street (Take 'Em Down NOLA cites the segregation of names of black soldiers from the names of white soldiers as a reason for wanting this monument's removal).

Andrew Jackson monument in Jackson Square.

Justice Edward Douglass White in the 400 block of Royal Street.

Bienville monument at Conti and Decatur and North Peters streets.

Battle of Liberty Place monument near the foot of Iberville Street.

This is why you never give into these locusts. They don't stop until everything is consumed.

I love unintentional humor.

The name of the street is psychologically terrorizing, yet the shite load of people I see everyday hanging out on the neutral ground under the trees sitting on overturned milk crates throwing their trash everywhere, running into traffic, and begging for money don't seem to be too bothered by it at all.

All that shite ain't happening.

The monuments were one thing. Basically renaming the city is another.

A lot of money down the drain if that happens. From letterhead to the 911 system to individual people having to change their addresses.

How the frick is Touro triggering?

Judah was a single Jewish guy that gave all his money to the city when he died.

If anything, a statue should be erected to him.

This list actually demonstrates the absurdity of their position. Literally anything or anyone can be offensive to the wrong group. So, how do you choose? Well, you don't.

This is dumb.

I can't really think of any other way to describe it.
