(Frank Salvato) A group of Democrat state lawmakers in Georgia are seeking the destruction of one of the most iconic symbols of the Confederacy as they attempt to move legislation to expunge the South from the US Civil War.

Reps. Shelly Hutchinson (D-Snellville) and Billy Mitchell (D-Stone Mountain) announced proposed legislation that would prohibit Confederate monuments across the State of Georgia. It was also put Stone Mountain Park, a reserve with a massive carving honoring Confederate leader, on the chopping block.

Hutchinson and Mitchell were joined by other legislators and activists at the state Capitol where their indifference to the whole of US history was on display.

“The reality is, it’s not a matter of if these symbols come down,” Mitchell said. “It’s just when.”

Their proposed legislation, HB237 and HB238, would both remove protections for Confederate monuments – protections that are current written into Georgia law, but prohibit tributes “related to the Confederate States of America, slave owners or persons advocating for slavery” on public property.

The woke legislators said there would be exceptions for museums and Civil War battlefields.

Mitchell said he would be advancing a corresponding bill that would take a more direct approach where the Stone Mountain Memorial Park was concerned, eliminating restrictions on the Stone Mountain Memorial Association’s ability to make changes at the park.

Under the association’s charter, the governing body charged charged by law with maintaining an “appropriate” tribute to the Confederacy inside the park.

The association’s board, apparently devoid of concern for the loss of teachable moments about the Great War, recently tasked the association’s CEO with seating a task force to entertain proposals that would “bring the park into the 21st century.”

The prevailing opinion is that current Georgia law limits what changes can be made, and that it would be more likely that additions would be made to the rather than subtractions of any Confederate imagery.

At risk in the actions of the Democrat legislators is the loss of educational opportunity. Many thoughtful educators believe that destroying monuments removes opportunity for teachable moments for students.

The destruction and removal of monuments like the iconic carvings and unique monuments in Stone Mountain Memorial Park – and across the State of Georgia – eliminates perspective and, thus, kills an opportunity to understand the full measure of the realities of the US Civil War.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
