In 2009, Republicans on the Texas School Board successfully pushed to remove mention of farmworker leader Cesar Chavez and Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. And when Republicans took over the House in 1995, then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich relegated to the bowels of the Capitol a depiction of the 1912 Bread and Roses strike by artist Ralph Fasanella that had graced the Capitol. Members of the AFL-CIO Building and Construction Trades Dept. then purchased it for our building in Washington, D.C.
Guess some Republicans think that by wiping out the history of working people they can erase any memory of our collective strength–lest we exercise it again.
Seems Paul still hasn't had an orginal idea yet!
