Queen Elizabeth. Christopher Columbus. Even “Harry Potter’s” Neville Longbottom could not escape the wrath of campus cancel culture.
Since 2013, at least 37 paintings, portraits, pictures, murals or art displays at universities across the nation have either been removed, covered, been the target of censorship demands, or had additional “context” added, to appease campus activists, almost all of whom are politically progressive.
For instance, in June, Oxford University removed a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, citing the image’s “links to colonialism.”
Last year, administrators at the University of Notre Dame covered murals of Christopher Columbus with Native Americans after critics complained the 1884 paintings represented “Western triumphalism, Catholic militarism and an overly romantic notion of American expansion.”
Similarly, historic murals at the University of New Mexico and the University of Oregon have been covered up.
In February, Vermont Law School defended its position to remove a mural depicting slaves being freed, calling it “caricatured and offensive.”
And at least two Confederate paintings have been banished from campus, Robert E. Lee at the University of Georgia and John C. Calhoun at Yale University.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
