Philanthropist to be Dis-honoured

A millionaire who donated a fortune to education and setting up parks should be a pretty big hero to the Green/Left, right? California real-estate tycoon C.W. Goethe (a German name pronounced as "gerta") of the 1930s falls into that category and he has indeed for some time had a few things named after him there -- including a school.

It seems that the school is to be renamed soon, however. Why? Because he had views that were often passionately held by Leftists in the 1930s -- a belief in eugenics and racial superiority. After Hitler, Leftists rapidly did an about-turn on that -- so effectively that few people now know that in his time Hitler's views were in fact typically Leftist.

So old Leftist opinions are going to be punished by modern Leftists. Rather amusing. Details here.
