Memorialize This!

After tackling Pappy Boyington, the University of Washington Student Senate moves on to other memorials:

Jefferson Memorial - No way, dude! He's another Rich White Male and he owned slaves!
Washington Monument - Nope. One more RWM plus he was the Commander of the Military and he owned slaves, too. Oh, and wooden teeth? Eeewwww!
Lincoln Memorial - Okay, so he wasn't a RWM (just 2/3 of one) but he was CIC during the Civil War, which was fought - not to free the slaves - but to keep the South in the Union. Oh, and he was mental, man. Of course, he was gay, so that might actually qualify him for an erection.
FDR Memorial - Borderline. We might have to call for a vote on this one. Yes, he was another RWM and he was CIC during WWII but he did save us from the Great Depression and he had the great timing to die and leave the whole Atomic Bomb blame to that other guy.
All War Memorials - No glorifying the killing of other peoples, dude!
Exception: The Vietman Memorial - This one stays as a monument to the failure of the Military Industrial Complex and all the brave men and women who died feeding it.
Okay, then. Just two other pieces of business: It's agreed that the faces on Mt. Rushmore will be replaced by the Kennedy Brothers and Bill Clinton.
And finally, the Twin Towers will be left as a smoking hole in the ground as a testament to the evils of Capitalism and the meddling of the US Government.

All in favor, say AYE!
