he Charlottesville, Virginia, home of the Founding Father and America’s third president is one of our best-known national monuments, familiar from its appearance on the nickel since 1938.

But the hilltop mansion designed by Jefferson himself, once preserved as a tribute to the author of the Declaration of Independence, now offers visitors a harangue on the horrors of slavery.

“The whole thing has the feel of propaganda and manipulation,” Jeffrey Tucker, founder of the libertarian Brownstone Institute and a recent visitor, told The Post. “People on my tour seemed sad and demoralized.”

You can depend on Marxists to do their best to destroy historical icons. This kind of stuff is right out of their playbook. BTW, once you brush aside the liberal dribble, you will find that most of the available evidence points to Thomas Jefferson's brother, Randolph Jefferson, as the father of Sally Heming's children. Randolph ran the plantation.
