I read that this ButtPlug guy wants to destroy all remnants of Thomas Jefferson in our history and culture because he owned slaves.

Destroy statues, rename buildings and public places, etc. He wants to remove any evidence that he was one of our Founding Fathers and a former two-term president of the US.

Jefferson was also the author of the Declaration of Independence, a vice president under John Adams, a Secretary of State, a minister to France, a Virginia governor and congressman.

If there's one thing I hate, it's a history revisionist. What gives him the right?

We can't change history so leave it alone.

Stalin tried this in the Soviet Union. Historical figures and facts that didn’t fit Soviet ideology disappeared.
