    The Jefferson Memorial, the Washington Monument, Andrew Jackson statue, Benjamin Franklin statue, George Washington statue, George Mason memorial, Columbus Fountain, Albert Pike statue, James Monroe school, and lots of others are on the list of "offensive" memorials that a committee appointed by leftwing Mayor Muriel Bowser wants removed in Washington, DC. Many are on federal land and not under the city's jurisdiction, but if Democrats get control of the federal government, they might go along with this far left cultural revolution.
