MASS lawmaker said the State House’s General Hooker sign is ‘tone deaf.’

This is the kind of nonsense you get when you strip History Classes down to "America Bad, Primitive Cultures Superior."

A state elected official is facing blowback on social media after she called for a State House sign dedicated to Civil War General Joseph Hooker to be taken down or modified because she believes his last name is a “double entendre.”

On Wednesday, as students from around the state marched on Beacon Hill as part of the national “Walk Out” protests to call attention to gun violence, state Representative Michelle DuBois posted a photograph of the “General Hooker Entrance” sign on the building to social media and called it “tone deaf” and “patriarchal.”

“Are you a ‘General Hooker’? Of course not!” DuBois, who represents Brockton, West Bridgewater, and East Bridgewater, wrote on Facebook.

DuBois tied the name “Hooker,” a term that’s commonly used to describe a female sex worker, to the “Me Too” movement, and said the golden-lettered sign should be removed.

The tinfoil is strong with this one.

You would think she would have enough curiosity to wonder why the sign was there in the first place and enough initiative to find out.  Obviously, you would be wrong.

This is what happens when schools stop teaching history.
