Walt was saddened but not surprised to read a report on the FrontPage Mag site that a California high school named after the founder of the Excited States of America plans to cover a mural depicting George Washington.
Why? Need you ask? Because some liberal SJWs have complained that it's offensive and demeaning to Native Americans and African Americans (or "Indians" and "blacks", as they were once called).
Need I add that this over-the-top genuflection to political correctness is happening in America's gayest city -- San Francisco? The San Francisco school board is expected to decide next week whether to simply cover the image or, better yet (the guilt-ridden liberals say) paint over it. Whatever they do, they certainly won't leave the image in the open wherer students might look at it.
Daniel Greenfield, writer of the piece, comments that the cover-up "should be followed by a book burning of any volumes about George Washington and any history books featuring him." Indeed.
