Nets Ignore Removal of Washington Memorial Plaque From Historic Church
By Corinne Weaver | October 31, 2017 11:03 AM EDT

What’s more important? Preserving our country’s history or somebody’s feelings?

The historic Christ Church, an Episcopalian congregation in Alexandria, Virginia, made the decision to remove plaques memorializing George Washington and Robert E. Lee from their church, even though the plaques had been there since 1870. Fueled by the politically correct trend of wiping our country’s past clean from public memory, the church told its congregation: “Today, the legacy of slavery and of the Confederacy is understood differently than it was in 1870.” The networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, remained silent. After all, the church is giving liberal ideology exactly what it wants.
