Guess I’ll visit my Latin Rite church instead.

How can a nonprofit own Monticello if it’s a National Monument?

Maybe the visitors should get in the faces of the tour guides and give them what for?

[Dilbert San Diego]

But of course. Jefferson didn’t have a 21st century politically correct worldview or 21st century politically correct conscience, thus, he is considered worthless. That’s how this works.

I’m surprised they don’t close Monticello, because the very existence of Monticello offends the sensibilities of today’s liberals.

Yuri Bezmenov was right.

[Wilhelm Tell]

Petty people feel big by attacking great people.

I hope I don’t run into this when I visit Mount Vernon in November.

[vaskypilot]

Monticello is not part of the National Park Service.

This should come as no surprise to anyone.

Our heritage is being rewritten before our eyes.

America will some day be known as that fabled western
land known for it’s racism and inequality and no one
will miss it.

Our heritage is being rewritten before our eyes.

I was in Mongolia after the demise of the Soviet Union. The first thing they did was rediscover their rewritten heritage which was Ghengis Kahn and Buddhism. What will we rediscover?

So, ya figure that anything worthwhile should be owned by the central government?

[JoJo354]

I want to hear Kamala Harris apologize to the nation and especially the black folk for her ancestors that owned slaves. I am so over these people and nine times out of ten it’s the woke white people that are carrying on this crap.

We went years ago and were looking forward to going back.

Now we won’t.

Tear it down for affordable housing. /sarc

I visited Grant’s Farm near St Louis. Got tired of hearing about slavery in the presentation. I realize the guide has to read what they are told.

[jjotto]

I’m pretty sure Monticello went politically correct years ago.

[LibertyWoman]

That’s exactly what needs to be done. Get in their leftist faces and set the record straight. geez...they’re like cockroaches; infesting everything

[xp38]

Mount Vernon isn’t run by the National Park Service but a private non profit organization called the Mount Vernon Ladies Association.

[Leep]

They never build. Only destroy.

[EvilCapitalist]

Yup. I was aware of that. Doesn’t mean the Mount Vernon Ladies Association might not hire someone “woke.”
