Dianne Feinstein cancelled over 1980s confederate flag controversy

[jct74]

thought some people here might get a chuckle out of this...

The city of San Francisco will rebrand a school currently named for Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California because she replaced a vandalized public Confederate flag in the city more than 35 years ago during her time as mayor.

...

In 1984, just before she publicly divulged law enforcement secrets about wacko serial killer Richard Ramirez, who was on the lam at the time, she had a Confederate flag replaced after it was destroyed by vandals.

The Associated Press reported: “The committee that selected the names included Feinstein on the list because as mayor in 1984 she replaced a vandalized Confederate flag that was part of a long-standing flag display in front of City Hall. When the flag was pulled down a second time, she did not replace it.”

So, as mayor in 1984, Feinstein, in her official capacity, ordered that something that was destroyed be replaced. The AP did note that she did not have the replacement flag restored after it was taken down.

They eat their own...good.

No school should ever be named after any Democrat, let alone Feinstein.

[acptulsa]

No public building should be named after a living person, much less a sitting politician.

And you people think libertarians are bad about eating their own.

No wonder they want to eliminate conservatives. Dividing and conquering the remaining "tolerant" liberals will be child's play.

They should rename it for robert byrd

I always suspected she was a racist.

Ha.

“The criteria for renaming included ‘anyone directly involved in the colonization of people,’ ‘slave owners or participants in enslavement,’ ‘perpetuators of genocide,’ ‘those who exploit workers/people,’ ‘those who directly oppressed or abused women, children, ***** or transgender people,’ ‘those connected to any human rights or environmental abuses,’ ‘those who are known racists and/or white supremacists and/or espoused racist beliefs,” will no longer be honored in the city with schools, Forbes reported.

"Sorry, <insert your trans, ethnic, marxist politician here>, but we dug into your past and found that you owned a pair of Nikes in the 80's that were made in a Chinese sweatshop and you owned an internal combustion Ford Escort as recently as 2001, you filthy excuse for a human being!"

When was California part of the confederacy?
