    George Washington was tormented by his conscience over his slave ownership and particularly by having broken up slave families as a young man. His will was written in recognition of the resistance his posthumous wishes would encounter. History isn't cancelled by taking down a statue. By the same token, taking it down doesn't fundamentally accomplish anything and is simply performative virtue.

    It won’t remove history I agree. But it gets to a point where you have to put your foot down. The more empowered you make these imbeciles feel, the more ridiculous they become.

    These students are testing the schools like toddlers test their parents. You need to set boundaries.

    Funny that George Washington was inoffensive enough that George Washington Carver's parents named him after the First U.S. President, but today, it's too offensive for the liberal snowflakes who pollute the campus.

    By George can stay, so long as they remove the GW statue and replace it with George Floyd. It's all good.

    They only cancel what we allow to be cancelled.

    So, like we say, fuck off relative to messing with George Motherfucking Washington, you leftist assholes.
