Sarah Peake is Offended
This is truly astounding.
Selectwoman Sarah Peake spun her chair around near the end of the Nov. 14 meeting, gazed up at an oversized oil painting depicting the Pilgrims voting on the Mayflower Compact when they first landed in Provincetown, and declared that she wanted it removed.
…
In other words, William Bradford and the rest of those piggish, prejudiced Pilgrims had the audacity to exclude Indians from their civic affairs and, like the rest of the Western world, had yet to give women the right to vote. So, get them out of here.
The selectmen took a vote, and three of the four supported removal of the painting. By my count, that’s 75 percent in favor of politically correct insanity, 25 percent opposed.
Just a tempest in a tea party?
I’m just glad the statue depicting the flag-raising at Iwo Jima isn’t in Provincetown. There’s not a woman in it, meaning that the selectmen would order it melted down for scrap.
