Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, quietly removed statues of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin from campus in July over concerns that they would be vandalized by protesters. The university also feared that having a statue of Thomas Jefferson would become a target or an embarrassment for alumni. Statues of Jefferson have recently been targeted by vandals on campuses and in parks around the country.
According to a report by the College Fix, Washburn University removed statues of Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin in July to prevent vandalism. The statues, which were donated by a Washburn alumnus, were replaced with blue benches.

How can someone equate the keeping of slaves, which was perfectly fine according to the norms of that time, with the magnificent acts of statesmanship these men performed? There would be no U.S. of A. without them. Perhaps these spoiled brainwashed fartbrains resent that, too. They’d be totally clueless to come up with something half as brilliant. They are DUH people.

They think the US was founded by a few slaves who came to Jamestown. And their proof is an article appearing in the New York Times that said so.
How these universities can be considered institutions of higher learning escapes me.
I’m sure that typing 45 words per minute with your nose would cause some “mistakes!” Easy to catch.
