    Oh, but we have to learn about all the countless other racists still? That’s cool. Fucking hell.

    Performative racist bullshit.

    Interesting. I can remember when cons said that statues are how we learn about history when statues of traitorous white supremacists were being taken down.

    And now they literally don’t even want this guy mentioned? They literally want to remove mentions of him?

    Wonder if they are ready to give PEDOnald the same treatment? I sure hope so. Seeing how quickly all things named after Chavez are being renamed/scrubbed is heartening - apparently if you are a pedo, or at least a left-wing pedo, there are consequences.

    We’ll see if that holds for Republicans pedos like Donvict.

    I have a hard time believing he was ever part of the curriculum, sure as shit wasn’t in my southern public schooling. Even if he was a part of it I’d bet my last dime most students didn’t learn shit about him

    Columbus for Chavez. Only fair since they both are problematic (if the recent Chavez allegations are too be believed).

    Edit: That includes scrubbing Columbus day. No teaching the 1492 song. No statutes. Nothing.
