All of those monetary decisions based on the term "Founding Fathers" are obviously going to be impacted immensely.

True, some have insisted that the "Founding Fathers" (a term which sometimes refers only to the Constitutional Convention delegates, sometimes to the leaders of the Revolution in general) should instead be referred to as the "Founders" or the "Framers," to avoid sexist language.

The Founders remain entirely male, however.

I love this. Woke ass progressives go out of their way to make a big fuss over a particular thing, something that most normal people never even think about ordinarily, then when they get some resistance or push back they act all like *what's the big deal? does it really matter, is it really that important?? look at you getting all triggered over such a trivial thing*

It's kinda like tearing down Confederate monuments. I have no objection to that, their existence is offensive -- most of them were built in the 1920s, not so much to honor the Confederate cause as to assert white supremacy. But tearing them down offers no more than emotional satisfaction. It will not do anything to remedy black poverty or provide good jobs or education to AAs.
