The Pentagon is ordering the reinstallation of a portrait of Confederate General Robert E. Lee that was taken down at the U.S. Military Academy three years ago, The New York Times reported on Thursday night.

The painting is 20 feet tall and depicts a slave guiding Lee’s horse in the background. In 2022, the federal government formed a commission that ordered the removal of the names of Confederates adorning various military installations. That commission ordered the academy in West Point, New York to remove any displays that “commemorate or memorialize the Confederacy.”

So, it's ok to remove historical items from museums that shine a light on the evils of slavery, but it's not ok to remove the images of the slavery approving confederates? Make this make sense.
 
 

Oh MY GAWD!!

Reality!!...can the over propagandized progressives take much more of it?


We should also teach kids in school what the progressives tried to do to children in schools and to their parents who tried to stop them

  Funny thread 

The winners write the history again?

President Donald Trump pledged earlier this year to “restore truth and sanity’ to American history by prohibiting funds for exhibits or programs that “divide Americans based on race.” As a result, several exhibits at Independence National Historical Park may be removed or covered up. This comes ahead of the country’s 250th anniversary, which is expected to bring a mass of tourists to the area next summer. 

‘The President’s House’ is one of the displays under federal review. It highlights the contradictions of our Founding Fathers advocating for freedom and liberty while owning enslaved people. The exhibit’s creators say it’s important to face and reflect on the uglier parts of American history. The Trump administration says “disproportionately emphas[izing] negative aspects of U.S. history…can unintentionally distort understanding.”

Trump is right, you **** twist in the wind like Chubby Checker.....you'd bitch if they hung you with a gold rope.

If you don't study history and learn from it, you are an idiot. You don't improve from success. You only improve and learn from failure.
