Destroying EVERYTHING that is our history does NOT make our history go away!!! I am so DAMN sick of this crap!! These idiots need to go live in a third world country for a decade and appreciate how far this country has come to make our lives the absolute best they can be!!!

Thank God we have photoshop. We will be able to erase people from pictures so much easier than they did in the USSR in the 1920’s. That way they can kill the retouchers as well as the educators and the rich people.

Jefferson hated slavery. Due to his enormous debt, and being economically dependent on his plantation, he felt unable to free his slaves until his death. Nevertheless, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution he helped to author and worked to enact, set up a structure to eventually end the practice.

“How much more idiocy is around the corner?”...….

It’s in the Kool Aid those young minds consume. They have been indoctrinated by liberals since the first day their young minds entered school. Until the educational system is changed, the brainwashing will continue. Those particular students are getting ATTENTION and assume their “cause” is of significance when we all know it is NOT.

Would all of the descendants of people who had not already lived here, say, 10,000 years ago, have to leave? If not, why not?


Of course not. Asking virtually everyone to leave would be absurd. The answer is to be found in the word “decolonize”. Who are the only people who colonize? White people, of course. “People of color” have never colonized anything in the history of the world and are certified victims, so they wouldn’t be asked to leave—in fact more should be invited here.

The only people required to leave will be white people. Once they (and their statues) are gone, Hofstra and America will be able to live up to their real potential. It has been tried before with amazing results. Rhodesia/Zimbabwe for example.

So they spray painted “Decolonize” on the statue? They’re obviously too ignorant to realize Jefferson was the original decolonizer, I.e. the author of the Declaration of Independence.

I have a list of schools that would disqualify graduates from working for me. May need to make it into a website.

“It should be replaced with a statue of someone more relevant to their generation. Maybe a statue of Jussie Smollett.”

Don’t give them any ideas!

If you haven't already done it read the "45 communist goals" from 1963: THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS

Go down the list and see how many have already been accomplished and you will understand.

"#30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the “common man.”

Trump was right. Said they would go after Thomas Jefferson after they were attacking the confederate statues. I think it’s more about them trying to revise history than anything else. I mean come on, we have the biggest racists on earth complaining about racism?

Those stupid Hofstra students have got to go!”””

Absolutely.

There is NOT a single student there today who will EVER have a statue erected in their honor.

Jufferson is remembered for many reasons.

If you don’t like the statue-—do your school work online at home.

There are many places you can ‘get an education’. Go elsewhere.

IF I were young enough to still be hiring employees, a sheepskin from this university would be an instant blackball.

Yes, yes, yes Jed.

I've put it on here a few times over time.

The LIST does need to be seen by all Americans, especially the younger ones.

Hardly.

These people will never quit.
According to them the country is illegitimate as founded.
It must all be torn down and rebuilt in the image of Stalin/Mao/whatever.
We need to take back our universities.
