Far-right council members in Huntington Beach introduce agenda item to switch focus to US wars and America’s independence

The southern California city of Huntington Beach, a bastion of conservative voters, has made the move to block diverse monthlong celebrations of Black history, women’s history and Pride, in favor of observing the revolutionary and civil wars, California’s history and America’s independence.

An agenda item introduced on 19 December forbids any programming that pertains to previously established honorary celebrations for women, people of color and LGBTQ+ groups from taking place on city-owned property, including libraries, or of being featured in city communications such as social media posts, according to Natalie Moser, a city council member who voted against the action.

    Switch focus to US wars

    Because if you thought the kids hated America when they found out about the racism and sexism, wait till they find out about My Lai and Haditha.

      No no, we don’t talk about those only the wars we won like WW1, WW2, and the War of Northern Aggression. The last one we want to focus on the states rights, beat that point home.
