George Washington mural 'traumatizes' San Fran students; high school may remove art

A San Francisco school district may remove an 83-year-old mural of President George Washington from, ironically, George Washington High School because it “traumatizes students and community members.”

The work of artist Victor Arnautoff, a communist, may no longer be progressive enough for “Fog City.” His 13 panels for the high school, created in 1936, have been deemed problematic by the San Francisco Unified School District.

Officials say some of the artist’s historical depictions are offensive to Native Americans and blacks.

Well nobody knows what the man really looked like so what does it matter. He might as well be a Disney character in our convoluted fictional history.

I don’t think it takes much to traumatize those folks.

How about just remove the students

Take it down and move it to a museum where people can actually appreciate it.
Put in its place a really crappy rendition of the school mascot.
Don't forget to change the name of the school to something really snappy, like Real High.

If these people are "traumatized" then someone is doing a piss poor job of educating them. This is why we need tax vouchers so that we can choose what school we want to send our kids to.

I agree with the tender San Franciscans.

George Washington should offend them.

They should send me all quarters and one dollar bills they come across - they and I will feel better.

High school civics hasn't been taught for how many years? 20?
There's probably a direct correlation between that and the ignorance that even our legislators display about how the government works.

Just how many Native Americans attend school in the bay area lol. I am positive there are plenty of Democrats there. If you are offended by America then get the f*** out. I am amazed every time I go south I see people getting along. I see Blacks wearing Confederate flag shirts or hats and racial harmony. People greet you and are polite. People actually want to retire in the Southeast. Never met a soul who wanted to retire in Baltimore or Chicago. Call a spade a spade.
