The money-grubbers at Breitbart constantly feature clickbait like this from leftist *ssholes who are irrelevant.
Andrew Breitbart is rolling over in his grave. Breitbart established this website as an investigative news site, not some garbage blog to make the current Breitbart fools running the site rich.

Do they want to chisel “Father of the University of Virginia” off his gravestone?

Attendance there is not compulsory. If you don’t like it’s name, go somewhere else!

UVA needs to be more like Hillsdale in its Admissions.
To: ChicagoConservative27
All references to all imperfect people should be removed from the UVA campus.
They could then devote their studies to the only perfect one.

I went to law school there, and the association between TJ and UVA is, or at least was, rather unique. It was often referred to as "Mr. Jefferson's university" by students, faculty, alumni, etc.. So removing Jefferson's name is a bigger deal than would be removing the name of a famous alumni from most other schools.
Like most universities, it's controlled by the left, so I'll just laugh if this actually happens. Serves them right

Maybe we should just close it down.

We have to push back, very, very, very hard. Give and inch and 1000 miles is demanded. Give in to nothing, and start banning their icons (Stalin was a killer; the Bolsheviks were killers, Marx was a lazy unaccomplished but angry ‘white man’ with daddy issues).
They cannot be allowed to change even the littlest things moving forward. If you let them cancel history, they will rewrite it into an unrecognizable lie.

You can thank Nimrata Randhawa for getting this ball rolling.
It’s not her history, so she didn’t care.

I don’t think he ever referred to Confederate generals as villains.

Right. I was hesitant for good reason. Should have done my usual searches and citation including author and date of source. I was wrong.
Brie Simpson, Fox News, June 21, 2020.
“Back then, “Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver mocked the president for his grim prediction.
“So this week it’s Robert E. Lee. I noticed that Stonewall Jackson is coming down,” Trump said at an August 2017 news conference on the protests that year in Charlottsville, Va., that sparked from the plans to remove some Confederate statues.
I wonder, is it George Washington next week? And is it Thomas Jefferson the week after? You really have to ask yourself, where does it stop?” Trump said. “
