Woke VA officials ban iconic WWII kiss photo over ‘values’ — and are forced to reverse it when boss finds out via tweet

[AMart]

Wow probably the most iconic American photo of the 20th Century.
The photo wasn't "inclusive" enough for the marxist retard.

The photo — which captures an ecstatic US sailor kissing a nurse passing by to celebrate the end of war with Japan in 1945 — was deemed “inappropriate behavior” by VA higher-ups because it “depicts a non-consensual act.”

Displaying the snapshot in VA hospitals “could be construed as a tacit endorsement of the inappropriate behavior it depicts,” wrote RimaAnn Nelson, the agency’s assistant undersecretary for Health for Operations, in a Feb. 29 memo to staffers around the country.

“Employees have expressed discomfort with the display of this photograph” — and “to foster a more trauma-informed environment,’’ it should be removed, the missive said.

Doing so “reflects our dedication to creating a respectful and safe workplace, and is in keeping with our broader efforts to promote a culture of inclusivity and awareness,” Nelson wrote.

That started a few years ago with the #me too movement. Some iodiots claim it was a non censensual act which means sexual assault.

No one knows exactly who the couple were. A few different men and women have come forward claiming to be the two but no one really knows.

No one knows if they were strangers or in a relationship. Either way it is the clown world woke crowd objecting to something on ridiculous grounds

Prove it was unwanted and prove that there is myth around it

The woman has been identified and she has stated that she didn't know the man and that he grabbed her in the middle of the street.

isn't it the "moms for liberty" who are banning books in va and elsewhere? are they "woke" "marxists?"

You are a liar

As I stated she has never been identified conclusively. Several have claimed to have been both the man and the woman and NONE of them claimed that the act was objectionable.

Like I said post some proof of your claim liar

Your link proves WHAT I POSTED

It was not an objectionable act and others have been identified as the woman.

That is clearly written in your link

Your entirely claim is a revitionist LIE meant to defend a stupid and lame assault on history

This was the stupid end of wokeism.

My guess is they don't want porn in school libraries. Is that you want ...porn in school libraries? Marxists want porn in school libraries.

Where is that clearly written in the link? I'll post a portion that I believe agrees with me, you see if you can do the same.

Greta Zimmer Friedman - Wikipedia

V-J Day in Times Square became iconic and was viewed popularly as a romantic photograph taken during the 1945 victory celebrations. As she adapted to that interpretation of what she acknowledged as not consensual, Friedman expressed mixed feelings about it decades later.[7][8] In 2005, during an interview at the Library of Congress Friedman stated, "it wasn't my choice to be kissed. The guy just came over and kissed or grabbed."[9] and "I was grabbed by a sailor and it wasn't that much of a kiss, it was more of a jubilant act that he didn't have to go back, I found out later, he was so happy that he did not have to go back to the Pacific where they already had been through the war. And the reason he grabbed someone dressed like a nurse was that he just felt very grateful to nurses who took care of the wounded."

What part of this did tyou miss MORON

MANY WOMEN have claimed to be the one in the photograph.

When Eisenstaedt took the photograph, he failed to get any personal information from his subjects, leaving their identities unknown for decades. In the ensuing years, many women claimed to be the woman in the photograph. Zimmer, now Greta Friedman, eventually saw the photograph in the 1960s and instantly recognized herself. She wrote to Life magazine and provided additional photographs to verify her assertion that she was the woman in the photograph.

Can you read ? Or do you justr make crap up as you go like all uneducated leftists?

No where did she say it was objectionable

It has always been protrayed as a spontaneous and jubilent act and NOTHING MORE

Where is the so called myth you alluded to BOY?

I can read just fine. It says many women claimed to be the woman in the photo for decades until one came along and verified she was the one. Oh! And what does the very next paragraph say?

Life editors did not contact her until 1980, however, when renewed interest in who the subjects of the photograph were and, after research and analysis confirmed that Friedman was the woman in the photograph.[7] Life editors invited the subjects of the photograph to a 'reunion'.

Typical communists. They want to destroy our history and start from scratch.
Funny thing about sexual deviants......they tend to be the first on the chopping block when communists end the revolution.

Never verified?

But par for the course.
