Did We Break the Park District?

That voting site for a famous Italian to replace the Columbus statue?


So did we break it?

Or the gutless Park District people took it down once it was pointed out that it was probably too accurate a representation of Chicago voting for the past eighty or ninety years?

I am glad the site is down. The vote should not be open to everyone in Chicago. Only Italian-Americans should decide which person from their community should be recognized.

there shouldn't need to be a vote, the Christopher Columbus statue never should have been taken down and what was taken down should be put back up

Here, a dangerous NGO breaks itself -
Top teachers union under fire as lawmakers push to strip union of unique federal charter: 'Lost their way'

GOP Reps Buddy Carter and Mary Miller spoke to Fox News Digital about why the NEA's charter should be revoked

The National Education Association holds a rare distinction in Washington, D.C., as the only labor union granted a federal charter, a status it received from Congress in 1906, and critics have argued that the functions of the NEA then and now are much different.

"Let's face it, the NEA is nothing more than a liberal political organization masquerading as a teachers union," Carter added. "Remember in 1906, Congress gave them this charter to elevate the profession. They're not elevating the profession right now."

"I think they have done immeasurable damage to our country in light of losing the focus of educating our children, and they've gotten into social engineering and completely political."

What about a statue of former Mayor Lori “Biggest Dick in Chicago” Lightfoot? They can erect a bronzed tribute to her girth.

Looks like another pin cushion from 017 made merit canine. That makes two merits for 9 people off the list, both from 017, both jumping over 100 spots to be crowned. Anyone looking to make merit should pack their knee pads and put in a par form for 017.

President Donald Trump is set to install a statue of Christopher Columbus on the White House grounds, marking just the latest in a sea of changes made to the executive mansion over the past year, according to a new report.

The figure of the 15th century explorer — whom Trump has long praised and defended — will be erected near the Ellipse, on the south side of the White House, according to The Washington Post, citing multiple unnamed sources familiar with the matter.

The artwork is a reconstruction of a Baltimore statue toppled by protesters and hurled into the city’s harbor in 2020, amid nationwide racial justice demonstrations.

The statue — initially unveiled by former President Ronald Reagan — was restored by Maryland sculptors in conjunction with Italian-American politicians and businessmen. It could be transferred from Maryland to Washington, D.C. in a matter of weeks, per the Post.

I voted several times with deceased family members. I voted for Fermi because, as I stated to the PD he helped incinerate the Japanese, so my teenage dad could come home.
