I think that anyone who doesn't realize where the U.S. is heading is either ignorant or not very intelligent.

(Btw, thanks to everyone who posted links that support their opinions.)

They hate this country and it's history.

They hate white people.
The mural offended them because it had white men on it.

To put anyone else in a movie about this battle would have been historically inaccurate.

But these sniveling little pansies don't care about historical accuracy. All they care about is making sure every racial box is checked, in every possible situation. They do not deserve the country that the World War II generation preserved for them. (Come to think of, maybe they know this, deep down; and that's why they're trying to destroy it.)
Here’s my thing, if you are making a new movie about events of WWII, go ahead and insert a black General Nimitz or Halsey. It’s your movie and if people are paying to watch it then it’s justified. But leave a mural alone that was created by people who actually fought the war and racism was the farthest thing from their minds.

The saddest part is that this takes place at a university -- a place where people used to be able to learn something about historical perspective, which is now so far beyond their ken.

Wait until they go after the Holocaust Museum because hey...not diverse enough and all you see are things about white people.

Sheesh.. back then, they did not make a big deal out of diversity.

now it seems like diversity is a demand/command i.e. "If this picture doesn't have a token ___ (fill in the blank) then it MUST COME DOWN." Seems like that is fascism.

What ever happened to "live and let live"? If they want diversity, dont tear down artwork, just put up more artwork. NOT EVERYTHING has to have a token in it. In fact, that is putting down that token, as if they are just a prop.

I'm sure the butt-hurt students got lots of "likes" on their FB pages: "See how woke we are!"

My son is a HS senior and we are deep into college applications. Every college that requires a “diversity” class is crossed off the list. Every college that has a statement about “systemic racism” is crossed off the list. Every college that “actively seeks the under represented” I figure is a waste of time.

Granted, such parameters doesn’t leave that many schools to choose from.
