So, umm, hi?! I'm an SJW. I believe we should teach more history.
I believe when we teach about Columbus, we should also teach about his introduction of the encomienda system of slavery.
I believe that when we teach the US Civil War, we include the founding documents of the Confederate states which declare in no uncertain terms that the states left the Union in order to preserve slavery, rather than letting the lies of the Lost Cause rewritten history persist. And we include how much the North benefitted from slave labor too.
I believe that when we talk about the history of unionization and suffrage movement we include talking about their racism.
I believe that when we learn about The Six Grandfathers (better known to you as Mt. Rushmore) we also learn that the land was stolen from the Lakota Sioux, and how Borglum was a knight of the Ku Klux Klan. And when we teach about the California Gold Rush era we also teach about the horror of the California Genocide.
Not talking about those aspects of our history is itself a rewrite.
But the idea that Google is deliberately blocking Churchill's image because of some sort of corporate desire to hide history to appease SJWs like me - what?! That makes no sense.
