The Left’s Crusade Against Statues Is About Destroying America
Anybody remember back when they accused that virtue-signaling ass-clown, Youngkin of being our buddy? A well written article on the REAL agenda by Hayden Daniel. Well worth following the link- DD
(The Federalist) - On Tuesday, (12-16-25) the Commonwealth of Virginia installed a new statue to represent the state in the U.S. Capitol. Virginia is one of the most storied states in the union. Some of the most prominent Founding Fathers were Virginians, and four of the first five presidents hailed from the Old Dominion. Out of countless worthy figures, Virginia chose … Barbara Rose Johns. Never heard of her? Well, don’t feel bad. Practically no one in America had heard of her either until five minutes ago.

The tension between commemorating lesser-known activists versus established historical figures reveals something interesting about collective memory, how societies decide which narratives deserve prominence shifts dramatically with cultural priorities.

Visibility matters, but Johns versus Lee isn't really an either/or from a historical literacy perspective,theres room for multiple stories in public spaces.
