Might as well! Currently, some Native American displays are being replaced by . . . . . Nothing!
Socialist woke nonsense means that there can be no reference to history in any way. Any history.
Almost every word in your comment is incorrect.
“Socialist”? In what way is what’s going on at museums across the country indicative of a collectively owned means of production?
“Woke”? I can guess at your definition here, but in what way is being required to follow a recent update to a 30-somethibg year old federal law “woke”?
“no reference to history in any way”? I don’t know if you are honestly wrong, or simply not telling the truth. But you clearly haven’t visited the affected museums here, nor do you understand their scramble to comply with a bipartisan federal law.
