The editorial board of the University of Virginia’s newspaper has called to remove references to University founder and Founding Father Thomas Jefferson.

The University and the greater Charlottesville, Virginia, area in which it is located has taken it upon themselves to be defined not by academics, or history, or any other trait. Rather, those in charge of local government and University administration prefer to be defined by a single characteristic: the August 12, 2017, “Unite the Right” rally.

End all taxpayer funding for this university.

‘Buildings Must Be Renamed and Memorials Removed’

Terrorists and their lists of demands. Tiresome.

So they will elevate themselves, the purest and most noble people of all time, and erect monuments to celebrate the most perverted among them.

Then two hundred years later people will say...hey, those people made everyone drive electric vehicles and they got the cobalt to build them from exploitation of child labor in the Congo. Tear down their monuments!

And the MSM mocked Trump for stating the obvious that once the Confederates were thrown down the memory hole the Founding Fathers would be next.

Fine with me. Name it Antifa Unibursurry, for all I care.

I often quote Jefferson and when the usual suspects blurt out “He was a slave owner”. I respond “that goes without saying, he was a Democrat”.

Are there any statues or memorials to MLK? Or streets with his name? He was a serial philanderer and a disgrace to moral decency. These memorials must be taken down and the streets renamed.

Liberals, it works both ways.

Colleges and universities have turned into a cesspool of thinking. No longer is there debate and exchange of ideas. The basic mission of creating critical thinkers that can articulate is absent at 98% of schools.

Ingrates. They wouldn’t be an Institution if not for him.

[Trump20162020]

Talk about your First World “problems.”

Previous college generations were marching for civil rights and free speech in the 1960s. Now they are so out of anything important that they’re reduced to going off on tangents about campus building names.

[Chickensoup]

Has anyone heard of the word NO?

[lizma2]

End all taxpayer funding for this university.

AMEN!

[Paladin2]

Shut

Whole [hole?]

Down,

Today

[It’s of no furthur use]

[Chickensoup]

Just a school newspaper

[Seruzawa]

The promoters of this idea are the ones who should be removed.

[BipolarBob]

I demand they rename the Lincoln memorial after the honorable Governor William J. Le Petomane .
