A statue of Thomas Jefferson that has stood for almost 200 years was removed from New York City Hall Monday after a minority of Mayoral appointees deemed it to be potentially offensive.

Footage of the statue being removed was shared widely.

A statue of Thomas Jefferson, who was the third president of the United States, has been removed from New York City Hall after a unanimous vote by a committee, because of his links to the slave trade.

It was secured with straps and lifted by chains:

The statue was then placed into a crate and lowered down to the ground floor of the building:

The statue will be relocated to the New York Historical Society after nine members of the Mayoral appointed Public Design Commission voted in October to remove it.

Several lawmakers testified that the statue is ‘offensive’, with Democratic Assemblyman Charles Barron of Brooklyn even declaring that Jefferson was a “slaveholding pedophile.” 

Others, including Republican City council member Joe Borelli accused NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio of waging a “progressive war on history.” 

The statue will likely be included in educational exhibits with the ‘proper’ historical context that likely will include discussion of Jefferson’s slave ownership.

People who tried to watch the removal of the statue were initially told that they had no right to be there:

The left hates this country and wants to destroy it, and you. Everything you love, they hate.

If you value anything about the nation, the left is your enemy. Treat them as such. https://t.co/sKjQnS5KR5

As we previously noted, back in 2017, after statues of Confederate figures were targeted, President Trump predicted that soon enough it would be statues of Jefferson and Washington that would face the axe.

“This week it’s Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson is coming down. I wonder, is George Washington next week and is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You really do have to ask yourself: ‘Where does it stop?’” Trump asked at the time.

The media said Trump was overreacting and pointing to a ‘false slippery slope’.

John Oliver devoted an entire segment to mocking Trump over the statement:

Wrong.

Trump was 100% correct. 

Again.

Do you think President trump ever gets tired of being right? I bet he doesn't.https://t.co/5MxcLgutvV

It hasn’t stopped. History is being systematically erased.

Earlier this year we reported on the woke mob succeeding in influencing a MUSEUM in New York to remove a statue of former President Theodore Roosevelt.

Called it. Now the statues can't even be part of museums. https://t.co/SXs5toe4Vw

Parents in Texas have voiced their concerns over books in schools describing acts of sex and issues around lesbian, gay, bisexual and gender identity, saying the material is inappropriate for children.

At a board hearing in the Clear Creek Independent School District, parents stood up and berated officials on the literature.

One of the parents, Mark Callahan, said “There’s an army of parents doing a deep dive into all things literature in CCISD.”

He told officials that “These parents, your constituents mind you, are not going to sit by idly while the culture war that is being waged in America attempts to engulf our most precious gifts.”

Callahan referred to a particular book titled “Sex Is a Funny Word,” which is targeted at 8 to 10-year-olds, and according to its author is “the first sex education book for this age group that is inclusive of lesbian, gay, and bisexual experience as well as gender creative and gender-nonconforming children.”

“Whether it’s drag queen storytime, books like the one that was exposed, or any other attempt to sexualize our kids,” Callahan urged, “we’re not going to stand for it.” 

Watch:

After the parents flagged the material, the CCISD Board announced it is undertaking a review and has paused access to the literature.

This case is one of many where parents have spoken out against books and subject matter, including transgenderism, pedophilia, gay pornography, and critical race theory, that children as young as Kindergarten age are being subjected to in America’s schools.

Parents nation-wide have found themselves under attack by leftists and even government entities over recent weeks after taking on school officials.

As Tucker Carlson recently detailed, the Biden administration is using the Department of Justice and the FBI to target parents who refuse to go along with its medical mandates and teaching of such ‘social justice’ theories in schools.

Watch:

There are groups and individuals who are producing books as a counter to the woke mob’s indoctrination material.

For example, YouTube duo Keith and Kevin Hodge, known as the “Hodgetwins,” have launched a children’s picture book in opposition to critical race theory.

Critical Race Theory is brainwashing our kids & turning them into racists.

As parents, we cannot allow the Left to continue pushing this racist propaganda onto our children.

It's time to fight back.

A school in London has changed the name of one of its buildings from ‘Churchill House’ named after Winston Churchill, replacing it with the name of a football player after students complained it wasn’t “diverse” enough.

Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School in Richmond replaced Churchill’s name with that of Marcus Rashford, a 24-year-old English football player.

“The children across school have been keen to change some of the names of the school houses to be more diverse,” the school noted, adding “We are pleased to be able to announce the name changes during Black History Month.

The school also renamed a house named after Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, presumably because Rowling is guilty of the sin of insisting that there are only two biological genders.

The headteacher of the school, Alison Bateman, explained “The changing of our school’s house names was an activity that our children began discussing last year as they did not feel the names reflected the diverse community of our school.”

Bateman added “It is important that children’s’ voices are heard and this is why we supported their choice to have our house names reflect diversity, equality and the environment.” (Another of the houses is named after climate change campaigner Sir David Attenborough.)

While the headteacher claimed that parents were on board with the changes, The Daily Mail interviewed some who clearly were not.

One parent said “A lot of us are quite shocked that the school authorities have decided that the contributions of Churchill and Rowling deserve to be erased from the records without so much as a consultation with parents.”

The parent added “Presumably this has happened party due to the supposed thoughtcrimes committed by these two national figures. For context, the other two – unchanged – house names are ‘Pankhurst’ and ‘Attenborough’.”

“I am not alone in feeling appalled that this cowardly action has been taken,” the parent further urged.

In addition, this isn’t the first time that both Churchill and Rowling’s names have been cancelled by a school. Earlier this year, Seaford Head School in East Sussex removed the names of the two from buildings following complaints by students about them being “intolerant.”

While the students described Rowling as not a “suitable representative,” they claimed “Churchill was a figure who promoted racism and inequality, unfairly imprisoning and torturing many.”

Historian Andrew Roberts hit back at the move, noting “Parents of children at Seaford School, and anyone considering sending their children there in future, need to know that the historical knowledge there is so abysmally low that the teachers believe that Winston Churchill committed crimes of which he was in fact entirely innocent.”

“Instead of trying to combat woke ignorance, they have submitted to it without trying to discover the truth. Churchill is in fact an incredibly inspirational figure for youth,” he added.

As we previously highlighted, woke academics are intent on rewriting history to paint up Churchill  as a “white supremacist” who was leading an empire “worse than the Nazis”.

This kind of revisionist history being pushed by race baiting activists who have wormed their way into the fabric of schools and universities is having real world effects, as witnessed by the boxing up of Churchill’s Parliament Square statue, as well as the Cenotaph WWII memorial in London last year during Black Lives Matter led protests.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan also appointed a ‘task-force’ made up of unelected woke activists and campaigners to determine whether the capital’s statues and landmarks are ‘diverse enough’.

Winston Churchill led Britain to victory over Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, while Marcus Rashford gets paid millions of pounds to kick a ball around and promote Coca Cola.

😔Typical of junk food brands: @MarcusRashford is the poster-boy of UK’s free school meals, so Coke pounced & now use him to peddle sugary drinks, undermining the nourishing premise of his child food poverty campaign #unscrupulous #CDoH @BiteBack2030 @Food_Foundation @FareShareUK https://t.co/YmEVTQokBB

Rashford has become a figure associated with contrived moral outrage after he missed a penalty in the European Championship final, and was subjected to racist abuse which turned out to be not from English fans on the whole, but from a minority of idiots posting on social media from other countries.
