This was the next step after going after the Redskins, they were just waiting for an opportunity. It doesn't end here. Washington and Jefferson are next - Remove the Washington monument and Jefferson Memorial, rename Washington D.C., take Washington and Jefferson off the money. They are already talking about replacing Hamilton with a woman on the $10 bill. Mark my word, within the next few years you will hear a clamor to replace George on the $1 bill and quarters.
Many teachers are already convincing all the young skulls full of mush that Washington and Jefferson were evil. Next they will try to write them out of the history books.
