    So how come there aren't calls to tear down George Washington all across the country?

    Most Liberals understand that people like Washington were a product of his time. He did some terrible things because he, like most people, didn't stop to question what he was doing. But he was still a great president and should be honored for his accomplishments.

    Indeed, Ms. Stretch.

    It has begun.

    A group of students, educators and artists is recommending a mural depicting scenes in the life of George Washington be removed from a San Francisco high school that bears his name because it doesn’t represent the school’s values.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/high-schools-george-washington-mural-doesnt-represent-its-values-and-should-be-removed-group-says/2019/05/07/8e2a55ca-6ddd-11e9-a213-e9fb0424fd46_story.html?utm_term=.8b3b12ccd411

    In several regions, particularly the Washington area, the debate is just beginning. Some people want to change the name of Woodrow Wilson High School in the District. The very tricky transformation of Washington-Lee High School into Washington-Liberty High in Northern Virginia’s Arlington County has loose ends. In five minutes of Internet research, I found four Montgomery County high schools in the Maryland suburbs with problematic names that have been mostly ignored, so far. “Right now we — and I mean liberals and progressives (I consider myself in this group) — have divided up white famous people into several naming buckets,” Hawkins told me. “Keep in mind all of these white people, technically, are racist. Period. President Wilson was a segregationist, but President George Washington owned more than 100 slaves.”

    If Woodrow Wilson has become questionable, all four Virginia slave owners who served as president in the early years of the republic may become part of the controversy.

    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    But this is just one person. I'm saying MOST Liberals don't feel this way. Likewise, some Conservatives want to take away freedom of religion, but MOST don't.

    So you agree with Confederates who turned their back on the country, killed Americans, all so they could keep black people as slaves?

    So...Conservatives agree with Confederates?

    Is that the argument you want to make?

    Shouldn't we tear down this monument, and many others like it on the campus of Stanford University.
    Change the name of STANFORD University.
    the Hypocrisy of the left, the triggered TDS to right wrongs suddenly after Trump took over should embarrass the left.
    But I'm sure we will hear why it doesn't, why one of the most liberal colleges in the country is crickets silence on this?

    You do realize those days were different? You want us to punish people who were considered semi-normal of those times? They weren't traitors, or champions of the confederates, that were erected in statue form, during the civil rights era. If we went with this poutrage, we might as well tear down just about everything, before the late 60's. The confederate stuff is a symbol of oppression, and hate. It's no different to blacks, then the swastika, or Nazi's are to Jews.

    that's a pretty weak argument for someone, or a political side to also march across the south tearing down monuments to men who,

    I'm not sure what your point is here. I'm agreeing that some people feel that statues honoring these people must be torn down. What I'm saying is that most Liberals don't feel this way.
