"A spokeswoman said Mr. LePage, a Republican, ordered the mural removed after several business officials complained about it and after the governor received an anonymous fax saying it was reminiscent of “communist North Korea where they use these murals to brainwash the masses.” " - http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/24/us/24lepage.html?_r=1&ref=us
brainwashing, really? it's our history.
why are people so fearful of the honoring
of our past? this country wasn't just born

that kid is sporting, that alone defines the

past. to move the mural to a museum
destroys its value, it should be seen by
everyone because of its educational worth.
