The rush to erase public vestiges of "inconvenient" history is moving at break neck speed.

In a similar even more extreme vein ...

ANNVILLE, Pa. (AP) - Students at a small Pennsylvania college are demanding that administrators rename a building called "Lynch Memorial Hall" because of the racial overtones of the word "lynch." Never mind the fact that the building is named after Clyde A. Lynch, who was president of Lebanon Valley College from 1932 until his death in 1950. Edited December 16, 2015 by Djay3

Maybe put Ulysses S. Grant & Martin Luther King on all memorials nationwide, and see where the gripe goes from there.

When are they going to rename the color white to something more acceptable?

I'm guessing that they are all in a "Rush" to get these things done while that guy is still in the Oval Office because once he is replaced by a tough ass Republican their jolly parties will be over. It may also be a sign they are not planning on the Hildebeast getting the White House...............jmho

What comes out of grade school can make for some head scratching also (posted today on A.P.I.) ...

KELLER, Texas (AP) - A Texas school district is reviewing a sixth-grade assignment that had students make a step-by-step plan showing how cocaine gets from a drug cartel to a street dealer.

KTVT-TV (http://cbsloc.al/1ROnEei ) reports that a teacher in Keller, northeast of Fort Worth, gave out a science class assignment called "The Cocaine Trade: From Field to Street."

Parent Scott Pick says he contacted administrators after his 11-year-old son brought home the study sheet for an assignment on "Following a Sequence." He says he felt it was "a diagram of how to become a drug dealer."

Administrators issued a statement Monday saying the assignment "will be reviewed before being considered for future use," adding that the district will continue efforts to regularly "review, remind, and revise drug educational material."
