The commission voted Thursday to remove the murals from the courthouse after complaints that the scenes depicted included violence and slavery.

Some defended the murals, saying their intent wasn't racist or intimidating but to depict local history, even if it is ugly.

The murals are a part of history! If we keep taking down/and or removing statue's and Murals why teach history in schools!!! This is getting totally out of hand!!

Tim Montee

why take them down, it is history that needs to be seen and remembered the way it was and not the way they want you to see it, or not see it...

If the paintings are offensive, then you'd have to count George Caleb Bingham's famous Order Number 11 painting as offensive too.

History is HISTORY!!!

Trying to sweep history under the door is no way to improve our Nation. The Boone County Commission is a failure.

Examining our past is SUPPOSED to feel uncomfortable. This is where the urge to grow and change comes from. It's the same sort of whitewashing of the past as the fake issue of Critical Race Theory.

If these paintings were painted today, there would be drive by shootings, tent cities on the sidewalks, and needles and human waste everywhere. We don't want the truth to be exposed. It might hurt someone's feelings.

Laura Davidson

What does it matter? They will do what they want regardless.

Melanie Dix

Because the people in the painting are white not black.

No. No need. The same pencils, markers, paper, and glue work from last year, just the same.

This is something I have never even stressed. You are acting like we are purchasing a car. I think this question is a fear mongering type of question.

I shop at Dollar tree to get all the supplies. The calculators get at Walmart. And FYI the stuff that's on the list don't half to get it all cause one thing is everything gets put in a bin anyways so they share it .
