New York City is not woke enough with its mass push of Left-wing policies and gender-fluid stores at every corner.
No, the Democrat-run city has to take it a step further in its goal to be one of the most progressive places in the U.S. by taking down the Big Apple's latest victims of cancel culture.
According to New York City's council agenda, the city is considering removing history, such as the George Washington statue, which "benefited from slavery."
The council's Cultural Affairs Committee's agenda includes a debate over a bill that would remove historical statues that have been around for dozens of years because the woke board claims they "depict a person who owned enslaved persons or directly benefitted economically from slavery, or who participated in systemic crimes against indigenous peoples or other crimes against humanity."
This would include historical figures, such as America's first president, George Washington, Dutch governor and New York settler Peter Stuyvesant, and Christopher Columbus— all of whom have stood in the city for generations.

If the Public Design Commission (PDC) chooses not to remove the figures, they would be required to install an "explanatory plaque" next to each statue "to mark the site of New York's first slave market" and detailing a historical figures' "crimes."
The proposal also suggests the city create a "reparations task force" that considers "the impact of slavery and past injustices for African Americans in New York City and reparations for such injustices."
The city's woke committee is also pushing anti-racism training for human services contractors and city employees and a citywide "school diversity monitor" who would "monitor racial segregation in the city's school system."
In 2021— the height of the propaganda-fueled race wars— a statue of Thomas Jefferson was removed from City Hall after standing in place since 1883 because of the former president's history as an enslaver.
On the contrary, a Long Island town said it would welcome the city's unwanted statues rejected by woke NYC officials.
"We look at their accomplishments, what they did for their time, and how they contributed to the long arc of history," Town Supervisor Edward Romaine told the New York Post. "And we would welcome having those statues."
