Leaders at the church that George Washington attended decided that a plaque honoring the first president of the United States must be removed.
Christ Church in Alexandria, Virginia will take down a memorial marking the pew where Washington sat with his family, saying it is not acceptable to all worshipers.
“The plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome," leaders said, a reference to the fact that Washington was a slaveholder.
"Some visitors and guests who worship with us choose not to return because they receive an unintended message from the prominent presence of the plaques.”

Here's that slippery slope normal thinking people warned about. Hell, even Michelle Obama told people it would happen.

We might as well rename Washington DC and Washington state while we are at it.

It's funny because I have a ton of liberal friends who were all up in arms about the confederate generals, and they are starting to see the ramifications from all the virtue signaling and social justice warriorism. The problem is, it's like a runaway train at this point, and has all but destroyed the traditional moderate Democrats.

In less than 5 years there will be a story how the church is shuttering its doors due to a lack of donations. I wonder how many guests attended that church annually because of its affiliation with the Father of Our Country?

Frankly in some ways I do not know what we are waiting for, we are eventually going to have to take a stand, a real stand if we wish to keep our Country, this is as good a reason to me as any.
He is the Father of our Country

Problem is, no one cares when the rest of us are offended. Actually, I'm offended by crap like this. Doesn't get me anywhere, though.

America will be torn down and destroyed like the Roman Empire. Not by a superior nation, but by itself, only hastened by the flood of savage invaders. Conflict within is the true destroyer of empires. When a nation has no true enemy, tensions are turned within, and the nation is split. A split nation will crumble

Why can't Americans just accept our past and come together to make a better future?
Our population is just getting more stupid about things like this. No matter how many plaques or monuments people take down, it won't erase the fact blacks were sold by their own people to Americans as slaves.

I'm afraid the chance to come together passed a long time ago.
