A big “F You” to Arcata, Calif.

City council votes to tear down statue of former President William McKinley.

Of course McKinley should be disremembered. He was, you know, like a racist or something.

“The 8 1/2-foot monument and a nearby plaque have long been a point of contention among Arcata residents, some of whom say McKinley’s expansionist policies were racist toward indigenous people. During his presidential tenure at the turn of the 20th century, McKinley annexed tribal lands in the western U.S. and Hawaii in the name of Manifest Destiny.”

“’The statue doesn’t symbolize what we want in our living room, the center of our plaza, to symbolize,’ said councilmember Susan Ornelas, per the North Coast Journal.”

The city should have a contest to name a person, plant or animal to represent what citizens want in their living rooms.

I mean, William McKinley? Attacking McKinley is like attacking William Henry Harrison.
