YOUR PASSIVE VOICE IS SHOWING:

“Before the vote, Kiffmeyer said at a news conference that adding “Bdote” to the sign “IS GREATLY OBJECTED TO* by many people, and the historical society has been quite resistant to listen and to make changes.”

*CAPS LOCK MINE
Apparently, now I’m live tweeting my outrage at this BANANAS story:

“State Sen. Mary Kiffmeyer, R-Big Lake, called the addition “revisionist history” and moved legislation to cut the society’s state funding.”

ALSO KNOWN AS “HISTORY”
“To identify the location, the Historical Society recently added the words “at Bdote” to temporary signs WELCOMING* visitors to the fort.”

*EMPHASIS FUCKING MINE.
“That represents an 18-percent decrease that could mean 53 to 80 LAYOFFS, cutting hours at historic sites and “severe reductions” in the organization’s EDUCATIONAL and other programs”

<DOG IN FLAMING CAFE THIS IS FINE>
“The bill passed the Republican-led Senate — on a 37-28 vote — with some Democratic support.”
“Yes, we can add some of those ADDITIONAL pieces of information, but Fort Snelling IS ABOUT MILITARY HISTORY, and we should be very careful to make sure that we keep that.”

HISTORIANS! TO YOUR POSTS! WE RIDE AT DAWN!!!
“It’s only REAL MILITARY HISTORY IN A VERY UNIFYING WAY amongst all Minnesotans. It is our premiere entity for military history.”

YOUR RACISM IS SHOWING.
In all seriousness, this is a grotesque and ignorant abuse of power. Not to mention petty, embarrassing, mendacious, and pointless.

Please update with news about how to protest or remedy this outrage.
