Yeah, well they said the same thing about taking down Washington, Lincoln and Jefferson and that's already happening.
When your approach to American history of any kind begins with "systemic racism", there is literally no white man that can't be cleansed for "equity".

I worry about the fate of my alma mater, St. John's College, a lot here lately. They were in pretty bad financial trouble about 10 years ago, but the endowment has rebounded nicely since that time. I notice a couple more black American authors on the reading list, but they have maintained the integrity of their Great Books of Western Civ reading list. The big threat at the moment might be the commies in the biden administration taking away pell grants and student loans. But then again, this could be a blessing in disguise. It hasn't hurt Hillsdale.

Music was not discovered by the human race until the Sugar Hill Gang found it buried deep beneath ancient NYC sewers in coffins of slaves marked Hip and Hop
Hidden by the now extinct slaver white people, may they burn in hell.

9 years ago Obama ran on a pro-traditional marriage platform. Now men can get pregnant....

Yep. That Overton Window shift has been accelerating quite a bit.

I just hope history does not forget about Juice Wrld. I am still not over his untimely passing.

Did Cardi B do a cover of Mozart’s “Lick me in the arse”?

Not sure if Uncle Luuke is more popular than Luke these days thanks to Rian Johnson.

Do I need to run through the list of religions that we now classify as mythologies?

All religions become obsolete at some point a new modern form take its place. Been happening throughout the history of man—Christianity will be no exception.
You willing to stake the next billion years on that?
Study Christianity and ask yourself why it's different than all other religions.

100 years from now? Go ask 50 kids aged 13-18 to name a play Shakespeare wrote or humm the melody of a piece of Beethoven written music and tell me the results you get.
I’ll set the over/under at 10/50 being able to do either.
Most high schools are complete failures.
Shop class is gone because it’s dangerous
Home-Ec is gone because it’s sexist
History is gone because it’s racist
Political Science is gone because it’s xenophobic
Arts and Lit is gone because it’s racist or non-inclusive
Math itself has been completely changed to end the problem solving skills it inherently taught
Critical Thinking is gone because it’s dangerous
Debate is gone because it’s triggering
So what’s the point of High School?
Every class has been turned into indoctrination and the life skills once learned have been eliminated.
We have set up the perfect arrested development indoctrination system for the youth. High school and college have become enormous day care centers keeping children docile and ignorant and churning out immature whiney bitch “adults” easily manipulated and controlled with no will to fight and no way to navigate life.

At the rate we are going now it's probably 10 years.
Maybe not 10, but 20 or 30 for sure. Won't take nearly 100.
Good news - some folks in the future will get a "reawakening" and discover all that stuff for the first time again.

Damn, now that is hitting the nail on the head.
