A Britney Spears fan has started a petition on Change.org, asking Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards to replace Confederate statues with busts of Britney.
The petition, started by Kassie Thibodeaux, had over 23,000 signatures at press time and calls on the Governor, Sen. Bill Cassidy, Rep. Cedric Richmond and the Louisiana State Senate and House to “do the right thing: Replace Confederate statues with an actual Louisiana hero and influential human being, Britney Spears.”
Historical statues are being toppled all across the country in the wake of George Floyd’s death and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement. The petition says Britney is the perfect solution – citing her long list of contributions towards Louisiana, including money for Hurricane Katrina relief and flood victims.
