PC Watch!


iconApparently now even President Woodrow Wilson is under fire. Bureaucrats in P.G. County don't want Wilson's name on the Wilson Bridge.

The county's director of public works and transportation, Betty Francis, says Wilson defended segregation and deserves less attention. While she isn't opposed to naming the new bridge for Wilson, she doesn't want the P.G. County side of the new span to sport the huge bronze medallion that currently bears his profile on the existing bridge.
For the record, P.G. County is named after the Danish Prince George, husband of Princess Anne, heir to the throne of England. It is located in the state of Maryland, named after Queen Henrietta Maria, the wife of King Charles I of England. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, but at the time England was best known for kicking the Indians off their land and for tyrannical rule over the colonies of the New World.

I'm pretty sure they were also segregationists.
