Quote:“The monument is recognition of 55,000 people who lost their lives to help defeat the Nazis.
I'd say it's some punk being paid by the Deep State Cabal who favor the Nazis. They're trying to bring Communism to the world. Anyone who tried to defeat them in the past would be viewed as the enemy. And, of course, it was probably some young idiot who never bothered to learn about history.
Different country, different memorial, but here in the U.S. we have the left screaming about a mural of Christopher Columbus they find offensive in the University of Notre Dame.
So... they're going to cover it up!
Quote:Invoking Martin Luther King Jr. Day, the president of the University of Notre Dame announced that 19th-century murals of Christopher Columbus painted on plaster walls at the hallowed campus' main building will be covered over, as the murals are "at worst demeaning" toward indigenous people and Columbus' arrival in the new world was "nothing short of a catastrophe" for them.Source
In his Sunday letter to the campus community, Rev. John I. Jenkins wrote that he's "heard from students, alumni, faculty, staff, representatives of the Native American community, and others on this complex topic" and has "decided, after consultation with the University's Board of Fellows, on a course that will preserve the murals, but will not display them regularly in their current location."

High-res images instead!
Jenkins wrote that the murals' present location — "a busy throughway for visitors and members of the university community" — is "not well suited for a thoughtful consideration of these paintings and the context of their composition," even with a brochure in hand. So the murals will be covered by a woven fabric, he said, with the caveat that the fabric can be removed every now and then for special occasions.
Sigh...
