University of Virginia students have issued a list of demands regarding a statue of Thomas Jefferson on campus because his visage allegedly serves as “an emblem of white supremacy.”
President Trump asked reporters on Aug. 15 if violence in Charlottesville over historical monuments would inspire campaigns against the nation’s third present. A coalition of minority student groups answered his call less than one week later with a list of demands for administrators.
The Minority Rights Coalition hosted a “March to Reclaim Our Grounds” on Aug. 21, at which point they revealed a ten-point ultimatum obtained by Campus Reform on Wednesday.
“The statue of Jefferson serves as an emblem of white supremacy, and should be re-contextualized with a plaque to include that history,” the students wrote.
The students also called for mandatory “education on white supremacy, colonization, and slavery as they directly relate to Thomas Jefferson, the University, and the city of Charlottesville,” the education watchdog reported.
Sixteen minority groups signed the “March to Reclaim Our Grounds” petition prior to its unveiling. Their effort comes in the wake of Aug. 12 protests by white supremacist groups over the removal of a Confederate statue depicting General Robert E. Lee.

When I was a Freshman in 1966, the University I attended required exactly that. No math course below Calculus was offered.
~~~And I was a *Liberal Arts* major.~~~
Universities baffle me.
They are institutions of learning, and the people on campus are some of the least likely to be able to think logically.
It calls to question their very validity.
Who needs who more, the University should just tell the little bitches to take a hike and find somewhere else to finish their degrees in Black Studies and Women’s Studies.

Yep, but today they offer multiplication with flash cards
Use the Missouri playbook. Give them all they want. The. Watch your university collapse.

********
Tell these brats to get their ass to class or be expelled.
Didn’t Jefferson FOUND their university, tell them to leave.
The University of Missouri at Columbia truckled to this nonsense. Enrollment is way down now.
Time for college administrators nationwide to start acting like adults instead of cucks.
They had best look at what happened at Mizzou after the head honcho s decided to give in to the black radicals demands. 2000 down in enrollment
Ironically Jefferson was superior to most whites and everyone else.
Kennedy’s cabinet was called the best and brightest. he gathered them for dinner in the WH and said: This is the most brainpower in this room since Thomas Jefferson dined alone.
Lee park was donated to the city so a statue of ROBERT E LEE could be erected there - they seem to forget that too.
can someone remind these idiots they live in a Caucasian-founded country, who’s population is majority Caucasian, one of the very few left in the world, and that whites can’t be ‘supreme’ if they’re a world minority.
The commonwealth of Virginia has been reducing its funding of UVA for decades. It currently funds 5.8% of the university’s budget. It could easily be privatized. Cost cutting, tuition increases, and additional funding from the school’s substantial endowment could easily make up the shortfall if state funding ended.

There wouldn’t be a University of Virginia if not for Jefferson.
Next this dumbos will be claiming that Jefferson came from the Visageoths, a white, European gang of plunders, rapists, and killers.
