They missed the entire Manassas Battlefield Park with it’s many statues and plaques explaining the history of the battles of Manassas during the Civil War.
VMI ?
I haven’t been there so I’m not sure if there are statues of Confederates there, but I would assume so.
I counted (roughly) 112 that are statues and monuments. The cost of removing these things have varied. New Orleans spent over $2 million to remove 4 statues. Montgomery Ala. spent $25,000 to remove one. I will ballpark the Virginia costs at an average of $75,000 each. and this does not include signage to change the parks, schools and streets named for Confederate generals and leaders, which is I guess 88 items on the times Dispatch list. Total cost to taxpayers — $8.4 million, which could hire about 100 new teachers to work with disadvantaged youth in schools, or possibly provide for plaques at each monument or park/street in question to memorialize slaves or put the statues in context. But knowing how Richmond works, they will make the locals pay the bill if the law is changed. And, even after all of this sanitizing of history, racism, bigotry and anti-Semitism will still exist. But there is no cost too high for Democrats to achieve their goal of dividing the nation by race, class, gender and religion.
That’s a very conservative estimate of the cost. Our county had to pay over half a million to rename one public school.
I don’t disagree with you. This monument removal frenzy will cost the commonweatlh and its localities dearly. I can envision RIchmond not even funding it.
Richmond and County governments should refuse to fund these. If those who suddenly object to the names feel so strongly about renaming the schools, let them raise the funds or open their own wallets to pay for it.
As a taxpayer, I resent so much being spent just to change the name of a school when the money could be better spent on educating the students. We have kids taking classes in trailers because the schools are over-crowded, and ninnies want to spend half a million to change the name of a school?
What bothers me is that I haven’t heard a single person mention that many of these monuments were built as a sign of reconciliation – which is conflict resolution 101. Many in the Union wanted to severely punish the Confederacy after the war but Lincoln and Johnson recognized that the best approach to reconciliation and reunification was not through punishment. Now, if the monuments were built in the 50s and 60s as a thumb in the eye of the civil rights movement I can understand arguing movement to a museum or battlefield, but if they were built for reconciliation purposes they need to be kept in place for future generations to understand and learn from.
Great opinion.
I don’t like that these places have become a place for World Class POS’ S to spread ignorance.
I worry as the Monument in Pulaski (on the list) was meant to Honor the soldiers of the war from *that particular community* at what point does the future America remove Monuments honoring Warriors of wars that they ( the future ) did not fight or defend.
And for the Command in charge of battle do they receive accolades for their heroic deeds or for the horror of war for which
they sent their men into.
Always Honor the Warrior!
Many have no idea of the history of the statues, and couldn’t even tell you what side they fought for if the statues were in neutral territory. Most of those screaming that the statues should be removed know nothing about the men depicted. They were just following instructions to go protest and a certain location.
Last summer we had the transvestite bathroom debate. This summer it’s monuments. And next summer?
The ACLU and House Democratic Caucus will probably sue to remove Trump from office for some bogus and made up reason, but the Supreme Court will have to decide because the 4th and 9th Circuits agree with the ACLU/House Dems.
Disclaimer: this is satire
We still have the bathroom debate.
This year ; (R) Kichen for Campbell County school board, revisiting history and tranny bathrooms are his focus. He has no concern that a DACA illegal attended school prior to killing Raymond Wood.
The Jews were slaves in Egypt, and apparently built the pyramids. Should we make a run on Egypt and tear down the pyramids?
Only when the profit sucking, crooked media whores say to!
Oh I thought the dims we’re going to use the war on women this November but looks like they’ve been given a free ride.
on a humorous side I think they need to remove the name the Rebel Yell off the roller coaster in Kings Dominion because frankly that thing is scared the hell out of me ever since I was a little kid
Essentially, we should “thank” obama for all of the devastation being inflicted on the USA. I agree.
He brought change;
He was ok with man/woman marriage , then against it. He screwed up my heath care combined with the tsunami of illegal immigrants caused my wife to go back to work , just for the insurance. They are all *works of art*
It wasn’t obama alone. This is the handiwork of the modern global socialist democrat party and far too many republicans. They cannot stand the American dream for those who work, and somehow think that welfare is the answer. The result is misery now and ever more misery in the future.
Divide and conquer by the Elitist Banking Cabal.
There can only be one reason for such a listing. It gives antifa and BLM places to target and destroy. Maybe the ACLU ought to be confronted by having the names of all its employees listed so that angry folks can go after them.
Not that I’m any fan of the ACLU, but this list is from Morris Dees’ SPLC.
Correction noted.
It was not Morris Dees’ SPLC. He was merely the front man. It is Joseph Levin’s SPLC. He was the brain child and the money bags behind the SPLC. Here is the SPLC current Board of Directors. https://www.splcenter.org/about/board
SPLC is a hate group – but they don’t include themselves on their list of hate groups.
They’d be busy for a few years trying to rename or get rid of it all. Make work projects for bleeding heart progs might have some merit. Afterwards, send them out to find what they missed. There’s more…
Or just tell them hell no now and save everyone the effort.
My attempt at tongue in cheek humor apparently didn’t convey so well. Never one to be discouraged, let’s think on the U.S. 58 highway, for instance. It’s the J.E.B. Stuart highway out here where us hillbillies live, but over by Henry or Patrick County, it becomes the A.L. Philpott Hwy, runniing with that name at least as far as South Boston. Check out how many things were named Philpott. Then note Philpott’s illustrious accomplishments and party allegiance…
