They can replace it with a giant afro pick.

Tempest in a teapot.

It was a temporary exhibit, meant to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Gettysburg address.

This is how museums, and curators of collections work. The same pieces don't sit there forever.

Manufacturing outrage because there isn't enough stuff to legit be angry about.

They should replace it with a statue of Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood who supported Eugenics to weed out undesireables in our society.

Don’t think this is different because black and brown women are more likely to die from complications regarding pregnancies. Those numbers will go up in states that banned abortion.

Convenient that Mary Miller slipped and said the quiet part out loud about white life (to the glee of the audience and smile of approval of the president who didn’t bat an eye).

Also her husband’s Truck has a Three Percenter logo. And she infamously said “Hitler was right on one thing”. During a speech referring to capturing the hearts and minds of youth(I mean there’s so many other people she could’ve quoted but had to choose him).


Point is, it’s only eugenics if your forcing people to have abortions, or, forcing people to not have abortions because your trying to keep a certain population up and you know that deaths from pregnancy complications affect communities you deem undesirable. But that’s ok because your fighting the great replacement.

You have some antonymous employee at the library telling one person it is because of one complaint....we don't know if there was really a complaint or what the complaint was.

But let's create a whole narrative to write pages of opinions on something we know nothing of.

This. Then the whole article goes on to mumble-mumble about some complaint nobody will confirm and pretty much trails off to a nothing burger. Manufactured outrage. Maybe the "complaint" was some student saying "I like Lincoln as much as the next guy but when are we ever going to see a new face around here?"

Maybe a complaint nobody can confirm because the complaint never happened.

There was one person who asked one other person who works at the library who said something about a complaint. Didn't say what the complaint was. Was the complaint that the exhibit was meant to be temporary and it should be taken down? We don't know.

Nobody knows.

Nobody has confirmed anything.

When asked about a comment made by someone at the library (we don't know who, what their role is, etc.) the University explained it was always mean to be a temporary exhibit. Didn't the article imply they have a copy on display.

So why would there be some kind of deep conspiracy plot to remove the original but not the copy.

Personally, we could speculate that Donald Trump called them and asked that it be removed.

But, everyone in this thread knows what is 98% the likely reason given recent history and the college in question.

I mean, let' at least be straightforward about this.

No, we don't "know" that, it's a bias and hopeful outrage.

We know what somebody said somebody said, about a piece that was supposed to rotate out anyway.

Correction, we *don't* know what somebody said somebody said, about a piece that was supposed to rotate out anyway.

Hurry! Let's clutch our pearls.
