Erasing History - Democrats Reducation

Four in Ten Democrats Agree with Removing Statues of George Washington​

While the survey found 77 percent of Democrats expressing at least a somewhat favorable view of the country’s first president and Revolutionary War hero, 40 percent at least somewhat approve of removing public monuments of the figure. Of those, 21 percent of Democrats “strongly” approve. However, 53 percent at least somewhat disapprove of doing so.

Overall, 27 percent of respondents at least somewhat approve of removing public statues of George Washington — a sentiment held by 19 percent of Republicans and 20 percent of independents as well.

Per Rasmussen Reports:

Sixty-four percent (64%) of Republicans and 51% of voters not affiliated with either major party Strongly Disapprove of removing public monuments to Washington. Democratic voters, however, are more evenly divided; 40% of Democrats approve of removing monuments to Washington – including 21% who Strongly Approve – while 53% disapprove, including 32% who Strongly Disapprove.

The survey was taken December 3-5 among 864 likely voters. It has a +/- 3 percent margin of error.

While the tearing down of historical statues feels like a thing of the past, talk of doing so still exists in places such as New York City, which has considered a measure that could result in removing statues of the Founding Fathers.

In September, the New York City Council considered a bill that would:

require the Public Design Commission (PDC) to publish a plan to remove works of art on City property that depict a person who owned enslaved persons or directly benefitted economically from slavery, or who participated in systemic crimes against indigenous peoples or other crimes against humanity.

This is what's shocking.
