Californian school voted to remove George Washington Mural

[Jean-Paul Sartre]

Yeah, but we all know that California was more Chad when it was Mexican.

Hardly. what my solution entails is a military occupation of California. Curfews, Martial law, the works.

Any March to the Sea?

[Ifreann]

If the students don't want this mural then I'd be inclined to defer to them.

Because Students always know best.

Was it the students who were disturbed by the mural though?

From the article:

Other critics have raised concerns about whether the decision-making process truly made room for student voices. The board’s decree followed a similarly lopsided vote in February from an advisory panel convened to determine the fate of the murals. But an account of the controversy published in April by the New York Times found that multiple school employees had advised against covering Life of Washington, noting that their students were largely opposed to the drastic step being taken in their name.

Nora Pelizzari, a spokesman for the National Coalition Against Censorship, said that the adults in charge missed a chance to involve students in a more collaborative exercise in consensus-building.

“There’s an educational benefit to encouraging critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving,” she said. “The people arguing that students are being traumatized by this — we have yet to hear those students, and what that trauma is, and if they want the mural removed. I think we’re not giving students enough credit, and we’re not giving them the opportunity to impact their own environment. So for us, the next steps on this are to push for spaces for student voices to be heard on all sides.”

I feel like the generations of the 21st century( both the current and future ones) are being told a watered down version of history. It becomes simplistic or reductionist. Sometimes to the point of fantasies or little kid cartoons.

So it isn't necessarily the students as such that want this to happen.

I kinda like the march to Georgian near the end of the American Civil war.

It becomes a great Meme against Neo-confederates.

Boy, I hope you never learn about how US History used to be taught.

[Imperium of The Huron]

Imagine all the good that could be done with the $600,000 that is being spent on this.
Also why do they need a environmental impact report?

Huh. Interesting..

well, there was a few students to start the controversy.

which means that the minority rules over the majority, which makes me think that elitism has a big role in this.

It isn't even elitism, it's just a few people shouting louder than the rest...

I agree with the reactionaries that our education system is getting worse and people are not told the "Truth", but I will always keep my distant from those that call for the return of "Racial purity".

Makes me glad that Atlanta is placing plaques wherever there’s a confederate monument or street sign to give a historical context to the thing

Wow. A vocal minority raised a fuss about something nobody else had an issue with and had something destroyed. Why does it feel like loud fringes dominate everything now?

Does the mural in this case have one? I doubt it.

It's not elitism within the student body, it's the San Francisco school board trying to make a decision on what's best for the students without even asking the students what they think is best for them.

It's still there, it hasn't been destroyed yet.
