Baltimore votes to rid itself of 4 Confederate statues

Baltimore City Council has voted to remove four Confederate monuments in the city. The move follows protesters pulling down a Confederate memorial in Durham, North Carolina after a deadly weekend of protests over another statue in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The council still has to decide whether to destroy the monuments or move them to a museum because of their historical significance.
“We still emphatically do not want these to be placed on public display anywhere,” council member Brandon Scott told WMAR.
Scott, who introduced the resolution calling for the destruction of the monuments said, “we should melt them down and use them to erect statues of true heroes of Baltimore.”
In 2016, a task force created by then-Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake reviewed four monuments linked to the Confederacy. Their 34-page report recommended the removal of two and adding contextual signage for the others, according to the Baltimore Sun.
Before leaving office, Rawlings-Blake had signs placed next to all the monuments stating they were “part of a propaganda campaign” to “perpetuate the beliefs of white supremacy.”
Current Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh has suggested the statues be removed and not destroyed. She told WMAR that the Maryland Historical Trust has to give permission to remove at least one of the statues.

This is a concrete proof that social engineering is working in molding the public opinion. Those statues were erected because people wanted to pay tribute to their heroes. The cultural Marxist propaganda and indoctrination camouflaged as education has done what they were designed to do. This a warning signal that part of the people have fallen too deep in decadence, another sign of the Zombies arising.
