If you know something is going to upset you, why would you deliberately put yourself in a situation in which you will be angered, saddened, or hurt? There's no other answer except that you actually want to be offended.

Why would you go to George Washington's church if you're offended by George Washington? Why would you attend the university founded by Thomas Jefferson if you are offended by Thomas Jefferson?

Why do we live in a world in which the offended people get to make the rules when they deliberately propel themselves into places that are certain to offend them? It's so blatant of late that I am positive they're doing it on purpose. We no longer live in the United States of America. We live in the Offended States of America.

Take George Washington. Wait – I didn't mean that literally!

I've never seen anything so ridiculous in my life as the historic church founded by George Washington taking down the memorial of George Washington. I was gobsmacked.

"The plaques in our sanctuary make some in our presence feel unsafe or unwelcome," the church leaders said, according to The Washington Times. "Some visitors and guests who worship with us choose not to return because they receive an unintended message from the prominent presence of the plaques." (source)

Even the Google listing promotes the history of the church.

And it isn't like people have no option but to attend Christ Church. This is a map of the other Episcopal churches in the area.

By my count, there are 21 different churches of that denomination right there in the Alexandria, Virgina area, so, honestly, I don't think I'm being outrageous when I suggest that there are multiple options to attend an Episcopalian service in a church that George Washington did not found if one is outraged by the existence of George Washington.
