Oh great, now the NYC subway system will finally work! Not.

But the Left is going about this all wrong. Instead of toppling a few statues, ripping out some tiles in a subway station, why not go “whole hog” and just burn down the entire country?

The Times was skeptical of that claim in a 2015 factcheck. They quoted an MTA artistic director who noted that “the banding design was based on geometric forms with multicolored palettes, and the various designs are seen in stations that opened at this time.”….

    2012 article from Civil War Times Magazine re the tiles. Good history on Adolph Ochs & family. Article thinks that the tiles are, in part, an homage to Ochs and the Confederate flag.
