Students at the College of William & Mary want Thomas Jefferson’s status removed from campus because they call him an “incestuous rapist†and a “racist.â€
The Jefferson statue there is now covered in yellow notes that say things including: “he knew it was wrong,†“racist†“rapist,†“black lives matter,†and †stop worshiping racists.â€
The College of William & Mary, Jefferson’s alma mater, is one of many schools in America where student activists are debating the legacy of the Founding Fathers and demanding the removal of anything that commemorates them.
At Princeton University, student activists held a sit-in inside the office of the president demanding that Woodrow Wilson’s name be removed from all the university’s buildings.
Students at the University of Missouri are also targeting Thomas Jefferson. A petition has been created for the removal of Jefferson’s statue from university grounds.

“Little communist bastards have been taught well”
Just wait ten years for Common Core to have its effects. The students will cheerfully embrace their own slavery.
Where would these children be if not for men like Jefferson?.
“Will Jefferson and Washington be on our coins and currency in ten years?”
I was afraid something like this would happen when that woman in South Carolina got ambitious and scared at the same time and began tearing down historic flags.
Let you without sin cast the first stone.
They had faults but gave us the last best hope for man,The United States Of America
Bill Clinton statue. That’s the ticket and about their
speed. - If time goes on long enough, history will again
be rewritten because the truth of events will dictate it.
The Founding Fathers weren’t hung up on status of
themselves anyway; probably would even urge against
putting up statues and graven images.
Another victim of the activist snowflakes’ one-drop rule.
Why would someone remove a cross from the CHAPEL????
Probably singing “God save the Queen”. Especially since it was Jefferson who wrote the Declaration of Independence.

Oops, sorry!
This article seems to prove the old Bible based notion that a house removed from it’s foundation is unsafe.
The College of Wm. and Mary left behind its founding principles long ago—And has raised up a student body led by community organizers unfit for either position.
EXPELL those COMMUNISTS students, PERMANENTLY !
“It’s easier to remove the “students.â€
Indeed I’m of a like mindset but old TJ was more thoughtful.
“Man once surrendering his reason, has no remaining guard against absurdities the most monstrous, and like a ship without rudder, is the sport of every wind. With such persons, gullibility, which they call faith, takes the helm from the hand of reason, and the mind becomes a wreck.â€
Idiots. Fools. Stupid. Typical.
Why would such sensitive souls ever have attended such an insensitive school? I mean, Jefferson’s cooties are probably still about there.
Give ‘em a nickel for their troubles.
That goes for the country to... GET THE F OUT!
My thought too.
This is like the Slammists blowing up ancient sculptures and structures, trashing museums and graveyards. Wait until these oh-so-smart kids’ grandchildren start denouncing them for supporting abortion and the socioeconomic oppression of illegal aliens.
Hey, little whiners, there’s the door. Use it.
