[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we renaming George mason? [/quote] He owned over 100 slaves. Unlike some of the other Founders, he did not free them and make provisions for them in his will.[/quote] Can we learn from the past rather than try to change the past? This is stupid.[/quote] This is what learning from the past looks like. These men were elevated to hero status without regard for the pain they inflicted on other human beings. We know better now. We recognize their choices as repugnant, and now we're removing them from the idol status of which they were never worthy. We can learn about them in a history book or a museum. [/quote]
