Censorship because the art might trigger traumatic feelings

Censorship because the art might trigger traumatic feelings Censorship because the art might trigger traumatic feelings There is a historically accurate, 83 year old fresco mural, portraying who George Washington was; soldier, surveyor, statesman and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Not a painting of a boy chopping down a cherry tree, though seemingly much more preferred by the lowbrow dolts who object to this mural. [See the picture of the woman with her mouth open.. no.. she doesn't see pie]. The mural, takes up 1600 square feet of a "High School" wall, near the main entrance. The mural depicts accurate historical scenes. Mind you, this is not an Elementary School. This place is "George Washington High School", grades 9-12, with two thousand and one students, who, in a matter of a short time will become legal adults. Only 23 percent are, "People of color and many come from low income families", the reports have said, and I really don't know why that would make any difference, because , "History is history", regardless of income class and skin color! If you ever get around to reading the public articles about this mural in the High School, you'll see in many articles they make a point, over and over again, of referring to the students who see this amazing fresco , as , "Historically marginalizing". As if to say, " We're sorry for showing our Countries history to you". The protesters seem to insist this mural , everyday , over 83 years, has reminded , "Non white" High School students they come from , "Historically marginalized people". But!! But this is a , "High School"! One step closer to college. An institution of education. To learn and understand. A place for discussion. NOT an extension of kindergarten! [Take a nap, close your eyes, pretend something really didn't happen].... In a small number of years these students will be applying to Colleges. Are we suppose to extend kindergarten safe-places into High Schools and Universities?! So students of higher learning won't feel emotionally harmed? Is that how this country is going to be now?!!! Just who is the dumbass who came up with that stupid plan?! "The San Francisco Board of Education is charged with ensuring the well-being of all our students, academically, socially and emotionally, particularly those who have been historically marginalized"..... See that? "Historically marginalized". Why is the interviewee mentioning that? Was it required for a reporter to make their story? Answer: Probably was if the intention is to create public outrage. The mural is not ABOUT racism. In the day, that was life in Colonial America. In fact in the mural there are British white guys. The Brits have plenty to be pissed off about General George Washington... the British history books have him written up as a terrorist. .........IT'S HISTORY FOLKS! We perceive, we learn , we understand and we move on. Any cities Board of Education is to also be responsible for students to get an education , and in History studies, that means, "What really happened"...... Not , "George Washington chopped down a cherry tree" . Not , "Oh my, can't tell you about this, because you might feel bad". Mark Sanchez, vice President of the school board, and a 3rd grade teacher , said students must walk by, and see these "Harmful" images [because it's located at the front entry of the school] . He said, "Painting it over represents not only a symbolic fresh start, but a real fresh start." ...pssst, Mark , this is a High School, not a class of 3rd graders. I don't see how erasing history means a "Fresh start". Of the students attending San Francisco's George Washington High School, today, there are 23 percent non-white-ish. But that percentage shouldn't matter if it was 23, or 65 percent, because "History" is "History". There is no erasing history for a "Fresh start". You learn, you understand and you move on. And what of the other murals across the USofA , that were Federally paid for by President Franklin D. Roosevelt as this country was coming out of the Great Depression. Are these other murals safe?.....NO!! The "Life of Washington" mural in San Francisco, is one of a series of New Deal-era murals that have been unfortunately successfully targeted by activists. [The "New Deal" was a series of programs, public work projects, financial reforms, and regulations enacted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in the United States between 1933 and 1936. It responded to needs for relief, reform, and recovery from the Great Depression.] The FDR-funded murals at the University of New Mexico have recently been covered up, while murals in both New York and Iowa have been vandalized. All because of , "Changing sensitivities", is the fucking lame reason GIVEN for covering up, and vandalizing, amazing works of art that depict historical accuracy. What else are we going to destroy, erase , cover up because feelings might get hurt?!!!! Yes, I'm damn angry! And so should you be. This erasing of history shouldn't be happening.     |

When those brilliant minds discover how to unring a bell, I may listen to them. History should not be erased. It can be learned from.

you know i had a lot to say... but this says it much better Heinrich Heine Where books are burned, in the end people will be burned. –Heinrich Heine (1797–1856), German Jewish poet, from Almansor: A Tragedy (1823) there is a world of difference between insanity and stupidity

Erasing, destroying historical recordings of history, because you feel traumatized by it, is an entirely wrong direction this Country should be going. You feel traumatized? Get help!! Consult your damn doctor! Don't destroy historical records. That's not fair to tomorrows unborn.
