Somehow I doubt that the professor told the daughter that the Democrats were/are the party of slavery.

Washington was one of history’s greatest men. We cannot judge the past by today’s cultural norms. The professor should understand that.

I suspect this professor teaches How to Raise an Anarchist 101.

I have been wondering when the demand will come to dynamite Washington and Jefferson off Mt. Rushmore.

Professor Harvey starts to wonder what affect society is having...

"Effect" not "affect".

Little Jennifer the “Perfesser” needs to seek a little psychological help. She’s a freakin’ loon and a racist.

Chances are this professor’s heroes were racist under his standards as well. This sort of cosmic perfection they demand of any historical figure never existed.

Professor Jennifer Harvey needs to grow a little. Come on, getting upset with a 7 year old because she says she likes George Washington is rediculous. If she was 17, it would be worth the debate.

The prevailing culture of that time was different and not as enlightened as it is today. Although some people up north had differing opinions on the subject, Washington was involved in the revolution and did not have time to be philasophical about the ethics of slavery.

I am sure that when Jennifer Harvey’s 7 year old grows a little, that she will have a more mature notion of who was who back in colonial times. Let her grow up.

Perhaps this professor should do some homework.

The vast majority of our Founders hated slavery, even though they owned slaves.

The institution was so entrenched that they could not figure out how to get rid of it in their lifetime.

Most opted to free their slaves upon their deaths.

I bet she’s also horrified at all the images of that racist she’ll find in her wallet.

She better destroy them. Along with images of Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln and any and all other racist presidents.

Better yet. She should sent them to me. I’ll handle things for her.

This is nothing more than hatred for one’s country. The whole idea is that slavery was in the PAST. It’s over. Finished.

We were taught in school that Washington was the father of this country, etc. This was to give us a sense of pride in our country. Leftists do not have this sense of pride.

Nothing else Washington ever did matters ... because racism.

Good grief.

Professor Harvey, after discussing ethics violations with her 7-year-old, said, “Well you know how you’ve been running around here celebrating George Washington? We always talk about George Washington fighting for freedom. But George Washington also owned black people as slaves.”

I doubt she also told her daughter that black people sold black people into slavery and that many are still slaves throughout the world today at the hands of other blacks and Islamists.

It would be funny if the kid rebels against her parent like kids do and grows up to be a conservative.

I could see the daughter and mother having this conservation sometime in the future.

Daughter: “No mom, George Washington was a great man. And so was Ronald Reagan! And, and, and I like........Donald Trump too! There I said it! I like President Trump and I don’t care what you or anyone else says!”

Mom: “No, no, no! This can’t be happening! Not my daughter!! WHERE DID I GO WRONG!”

You can’t raise a good little commie if the kid admires someone like George Washington.

Is there anybody historical figure worthy of this professor’s admiration? Just because you admire George Washington doesn’t mean he needs to be flawless. We’re not putting him up for sainthood.

But George Washington also owned black people as slaves.” Dr. Harvey’s small child’s “intrigue turned to horror.”

Then she better not tell her daughter that Washington chopped down a cherry tree, or her daughter will become catatonic.
