St. Louis needs to change it's name....
A new petition on Change.org is demanding that the city of St. Louis, Missouri change its name and take down a statue that honors King Louis IX of France, the city’s namesake.
The petition opens by pointing out how successful the “New Civil Rights Movement” has been in forcing the removal of various statues of controversial figures. That’s why those behind this petition say it’s time for the statue of the French king to be removed as well.
“For those unfamiliar with King Louis IX he was a rabid anti-Semite who spearheaded many persecutions against the Jewish people,” reads the petition. “Centuries later Nazi Germany gained inspiration and ideas from Louis IX as they embarked on a campaign of murderous genocide against the Jewish people. Louis IX was also vehemently Islamophobic and led a murderous crusade against Muslims which ultimately cost him his life.”
Bye St. Louis!
