GoBills808 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 The part I liked best was the cost estimate of $300,000-$800,000 to 'obscure the mural with curtains'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royale with Cheese Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I think they need to make a movie about this, directed and written by Quentin Tarrantino of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaoulDuke79 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Maybe they can cover it with something less offensive and traumatic like the numerous piles of feces and hypodermic needles littering the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Egg Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 (edited) Too many U.S. college kids caught up in social media nonsense crusades. They're not focused and choosing college courses that have little relevancy in the real world. My kids law firm expedite visa entrance for countless qualified foreign students to fill high skill jobs here.

Not sure OP realized this took place at a highschool ? Yup, lol, a highschool in San Fransisco And they said almost no student was against the murals, most didn't care, it was an outside group that found it offensive and had a couple of students join them in making a fuss over it. I think some of this blame put on the youth/students today over things is misplaced. Most of the time the kids aren't actually offended or care, it's the parents who make a big deal and take offence but prop it up to make it look like it's the kids. And because of 'outrage' of stupid things like this, the kids aren't viewed positively when they don't take a stand against more serious issues. $300-800k to cover up a 13 panel mural? Even if they want to preserve it hidden behind something so it's never seen again, that still sounds a little high. I will do it for $299k and I haven't even seen the size or details of what needs to be covered..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jauronimo Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Quote Writing in National Review, James Sutton reports the mural was never really a bother at the high school. “The mural (which lies about 20 blocks from my house) wasn’t even particularly opposed by the student body. According to teachers who attended the public hearings over the mural, the majority of students were against its removal or just apathetic. But a small group of outside busybodies joined with a few students to ensure that it would be removed from the public’s sight. Once the words ‘racist’ or ‘white supremacist’ are attached to something, no matter how inaccurate, liberals will not risk their reputation by defending it,” Sutton wrote. I would argue the standards at our higher education institutes deteriorated a long time ago based on the fact that none of you seemed to have read or article.

Buffalo716 already pointed this out in a post above. I read the article but it made me recall the mural's on an entry to one of the buildings on my college campus. From there I just went off the tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 The continuous rise of PC culture is due to the majority almost always capitulating to the minority. Have a vote on it. “The mural (which lies about 20 blocks from my house) wasn’t even particularly opposed by the student body.
