Leftists Ceremonially Desecrate Robert E. Lee Statue
It doesn’t suffice for the giants of American history to be erased. First, their memory needs to be desecrated:
The statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee that once stood in Charlottesville, Virginia, was secretly melted down at a ceremonial event.
Everyone knew that taking down statues of this great man would not be enough, because so long as progressives encounter minimal resistance, nothing is ever enough — not even this:
The Washington Post reported that “Swords Into Plowshares,” a project led by University of Virginia religious studies professor Jalane Schmidt and Charlottesville’s Black history museum executive director Andrea Douglas, “will turn bronze ingots made from molten Lee into a new piece of public artwork to be displayed in Charlottesville. They made arrangements for Lee to be melted down while they started collecting ideas from city residents for that new sculpture.”
The great man who fought honorably for his homeland Virginia was denounced as “White supremacist toxic waste.”
Coercively funded government media tells us to approve of our history being defiled and flushed away:
NPR also covered the event and credited Swords Into Plowshares for its efforts to “create a more inclusive public art installation.”
That which you don’t defend will be taken from you. Americans have failed to defend their heritage.
Other great Virginians (e.g., George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, George Mason) will meet the same fate and for the same reason. This process is already underway.
No great American will be spared, not even Lee’s adversary Abraham Lincoln.
In compensation, future generations will be offered George Floyd to venerate and emulate.
Let's make Andrea Douglas famous. She is one of the ones responsible for destroying the statue of Robert E. Lee. These marxists got joy from cutting the face off of the General.
