The revolution devours all before it.

Not even revered former presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson are safe from "cancel culture," it appears.
The American icons were among a list of historical figures whose names will be removed from San Francisco’s public schools following a 6-1 vote by the school board Tuesday, according to multiple reports.
Washington and Jefferson were both slave owners and Lincoln, who ended slavery, became controversial because critics claim he oppressed indigenous people.
The presidents were among a long list of men and women whose namesake schools will soon be renamed. Others on the list include Francis Scott Key, who wrote the words to the national anthem, former presidents William McKinley, James Garfield, James Monroe, and Herbert Hoover, Revolutionary War hero Paul Revere and author Robert Louis Stevenson, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
Even an elementary school named for current U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., will be changed over allegations that she replaced a damaged Confederate flag outside of City Hall when she was the city’s mayor in 1986, according to Courthouse News. She didn’t replace the flag after it was pulled down a second time.

Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Zedong will probably be in consideration. Those people are heroes to the left.

If there were a way to just focus that on the coastal areas I’d agree. Leave Central California alone. We’re good people here.

Diane Feinstein elementary is being renamed.
ETA: The mayor of San Francisco thinks this is ridiculous and offensive to all the kids stuck learning via screens while this is what the school board focuses on. Kind of surprising that's his take but good for him for calling them out.

Remember when democrats on here scoffed at posters saying this historical cleansing wouldn’t stop at Confederate leaders?
They only wanted to remove the traitors, they said. The notion of erasing Washington was ludicrous and paranoid, they said.
Will any of those nutless dumbasses show themselves in this thread?
I doubt it.

I guess every President before the CRA passage is automatically bad. Are Republican Presidents all out as names for schools?

Slippery slope isn’t a fallacy when there’s an easily-established progression from the proposed idea to the suggested end result.

Did they not have the balls to change the Diane Feinstein school?
Wait, balls and San Francisco...I answered my own question.

Lol, we just want to erase some of the most important people in our nation's history like it's nothing. Truly astonishing.
