San Francisco’s School Board Is Spending $600,000 To Destroy A Mural

Bari Weiss: “The notion of erasing art has an American pedigree. The [immigrant New Deal-era artist] Victor Arnautoff was intimately familiar with it, having been interrogated in 1956 by the House Un-American Activities Committee for drawing a caricature of Vice President Richard Nixon. But I suspect he would have been surprised to learn that more than 60 years later, progressives in charge of educating San Francisco’s children are merrily following this un-American playbook.” – The New York Times
