07-14-2019- George Wahington Mural. Historical or Offensive?
Now censorship takes center stage in San Francisco. I guess some students are butt hurt cause history according to them wasn't kind to Slaves and Indians. The San Francisco Board of Education voted to paint over a 1,600-square, 83-year-old mural at a public high school. From the article writer Kristin Lam.
In voting unanimously on June 25 to paint over the 13-panel mural, the San Francisco Board of Education sided with students who say the depictions of slaves and Native Americans are degrading. But more than 500 academics have signed an open letter asking the district to reconsider, and they liken destroying the artwork to censoring ugly realities.
What say you?
