Exploits of a person, typically a man, almost always a man, and how he vanquished an enemy or conquered a new land that turned out not to be uninhabited, and monuments, that is their goal, that is their purpose. By contrast, murals like this provide a narrative, a much more complete story that often contains the good and the bad of a particular period to remind and critically inform us of this period, or in this case, the imperfect life of our first president. So while i can understand how aspects of murals are really offensive to some people, on a whole, they provide context to the people and times shown, and serve as a reminder of our greatly flawed history in a different way than a celebratory monument does. I also want to quickly address the federal art project and the administration aspect of this discussion. Both were phenomenally successful programs in our history, and it boosted the nations economy when we needed it, and it provided employment for many builders and artisans acr
Covering up a factual truth, about history, is not empowering. In fact, this gives the mural power over them. It hides it, buries it and therefore gives it unconscious power over someone. This does not empower our young adults. [applause] before you get started, sir. Im going to allot, we are at the last 16 seconds, im going to allot five additional minutes. If the people in line want to coordinate whos going to use the five last minutes, it is up to you. Im not going to stop anyones time, i will let you organize amongst yourself around the last five minutes. Were going to start it, before you get started can you put the timer back to five minutes, please . Again, before you get started listen, you get a chance to speak. Im not going to end it one minute. If you take off i minutes, you just took off i minutes, sir. Continue. This issue has become too controversial. Too many people are getting upset. It is clear that we are going to have to cover the mural somehow. The only question is,
Its hot now looking at temperature readings of 106 fairfield, 103 concord and brentwood 101 and livermore and numerous other locations are still in the mid to upper 90s.

Variety of opinions as there in this room. I think that was a really brave, and great piece of teaching. I just want to commend him for that. We heard tonight, in fact, he supports taking down the mural. I think we can draw from that that students were encouraged to engage with us on what they felt they werent told what to feel by their teacher. I want to commend him for that. I think its really important and i think its what we hope all of our teachings in our schools is about.

I find it incredibly disrespectful, and intolerant, the adults that have said to us that somehow these opinions dont matter. Even if it is a small group of students that ultimately feel this way, every students view is important and it is really important for us to listen to students, and to that we are listening. I
