So, so gay…
People don’t know what the Minutemen were.
They don’t know understand the concept of having national myths and national hero figures.
Probably, because the United States is no longer a “nation,” by any normal definition of the term.
It’s a “nation-state” in a “rules-based order.”
The Mount Diablo Unified School District board in the Bay Area of California has made a costly decision to do away with Concord High School’s long-standing “Minutemen” mascot. Some members of the school district were concerned about the mascot “showcasing a firearm” while others wanted a mascot that is gender inclusive.
Concord, a town located approximately 30 miles outside San Francisco, was named after an eponymous town in Massachusetts, which is also the site of the famous Battles of Lexington and Concord during the America Revolutionary War. The high school’s longtime mascot, Minutemen, was named after those who fought against the British.
Now, Concord High School is scrapping its mascot in favor of the Bears, after a 4-1 vote on Wednesday by the school district’s board, according to a report by Fox News.
The mascot change is an expensive one, estimated to cost about $200,000, according to NBC Bay Area, which added that talks about changing the mascot began last year, after the school district decided to “replace its human mascots with non-human mascots.”
The district reportedly “expressed concerns” about the mascot “showcasing a firearm,” while others in the district wanted a name that was gender inclusive.
The Republican Party chairman of Contra Costa County, Matt Shupe, reacted to the cost of changing the school’s mascot, calling it a “dramatic waste of money that has hundreds of better uses.”
“If this school district were a business or non-profit you could sue them for defrauding the taxpayers for misuse of funds, violating donor intent,” Shupe told Fox News.
“When people are asked and they support more funding for our education system, it’s with the intent of increasing the quality of the education provided, not deface our history and culture,” he added. “The voters need to hold these extremist cultural activists parading as school board members accountable in November 2024.”
There’s no reason to be surprised.
These women are just going down the list of every single part of American identity, and declaring it evil.
They haven’t been teaching the founding myths in school for a long time, so this is easy to do.
Although I always wanted to be one, I am not an expert on Roman history. However, I imagine that toward the fall of Rome, they stopped teaching kids about Remus and Romulus and their Wolf Mother (who was, by the way, the only good woman in recorded history).
