That’s the correct reason, but not the one the media wants to push.
So, let me get this straight. We shut down sites that commemorate our confederate generals. We denounce the Civil War, from the Southern side in general, but let’s celebrate, once again the White Man who takes advantage of a black slave.
In short, that’s the only piece of history fed to students regarding our second president.
Jefferson is too freedom loving and pro 2A for the left. This piece of lore will be used to diminish him. When they get done it will be like that picture of Stalin with a person air brushed out.
They are not celebrating Jefferson, they are celebrating the slave and by extension criticizing Jefferson by emphasizing his slave holding.
