When is someone going to challenge these collectivists on their logic?

"Professors argued that Ms. Sullivan should refrain from quoting the late president due to his owning of slaves and other racist beliefs, The Cavalier Daily reported." Then why dont the professors go all the way with the Jefferson slavery issue and close the university?

How about quoting Karl Marx.

If you did the genealogy of these students and professors and found any ancestors who came to this country over 150 years ago, there is a good chance there would be a fair share of slave holders on quite a few of the branches of the trees.
Certainly, any history professor would know this and should know better than to participate in this issue.
It is time for everyone to grow up.

Didn't Moses own slaves as Pharaoh’s nephew? LOL

I think the students should burn their own school down. That will show em.... Not that they ever paid any tuition....as I suspect these students are the freeloader types on minority status scholarship crap...

“U.Va. professors ask (their University’s) president to stop quoting Thomas Jefferson”
I’m sorry, that’s a completely insufficient response to expiate the shame of their university’s founder’s slave-owning.
Really, the ONLY decent thing to do is to raze the entire university to the ground, salt its earth, and fence it off forever. However, the name itself, “University of Virginia”, can never be purified by razing and salting, and therefore the only option is to forbid Virginia in perpetuity from every naming any university or college “University of Virginia”.

Wait a minute! Did Congress pass a law granting the University of Virginia copyright rights on everything Jefferson said or wrote? Who the hell are they to tell any American not to quote Jefferson?
University of Virginia, STFU!

Every last one of the Demos that show up for the J&J Day dinners ought to be labeled as racist ethnic-cleansers for supporting the dinner with such names attached to it. Of course, they could say they are now recognizing George Jefferson and Jesse Jackson at the dinners and all would be forgiven by the snowflake crowd.
