Founding Fathers under attack: Students demand Thomas Jefferson statue removal

I have visited the slave quarters of Washington and also Jefferson. Both had nice gardens.

 

Nice whitewash, everything on that list is true.

 

They are actually customers of the school.

 

Its the cycle that libs need. Wash, rinse, repeat .

 

Do you know who is out of place in Richmond VA on Monument Ave?



He is a sports figure, not one of the civil war statues

 

I doubt it. Progressives scream the loudest, purge anybody or any discussion that doesn't align with their perspectives, and truly believe because of this that everybody agrees with their pitty party. That however isn't the case.

The fact at all that people want a statue removed because it triggers them in todays age just continues to make these millennial look like the ****ing idiots they are. Honestly, pretty much every generation looks at this generation and shakes their collective heads and rolls their collective eyes. Seriously... its idiotically stupid.

 

Whatever they decide is fine with me.

If they want to keep it, fine. If they want to take it down, fine.

Hofstra is irrelevant. I couldn't care less.

They can do what they want with their campus.

How many people complaining about this (and acting like it is the biggest threat to the Union since The Civil War) have ever visited this statue?

Just more manufactured RW mock outrage.

Let them do what they want.

What is the problem, again?

 

Hofstra is a private university. These idiots have no say.

 

And you can likely say that about any generation talking about a younger generation. I can see you on your couch in 1969, yelling at them damn commie war protesters...

Kids will be kids... I'd much rather them learn to organize and get peaceful consensus on a topic versus random meaningless vandalism....

 

I am 40 born in 1979, gen X.. pretty much the last generation that did didn't suck.

 

150+ years of hate, violence, and general anti-American activity and you think that's just washed by a few years of Trump? You folks are really deep in denial of your past if that's the case.

 

Jefferson was a world-class BS artist who thought that only free white men should have any rights. He didn't even include white women.

 

Those actions sound like what a lot of posters on forums want to do to other posters that they disagree with.

 

Exactly. They want to fundamentally transform America.

That means destroying the one we currently have.

 

no one said it would not happen, I always assumed eventual the other side would take it to far, doesn't mean confederate flags and statues should be on state house lawns

 

it's just a statue on school grounds, if enough want it moved to a museum, it will be... I think it's dumb, but not gonna be a huge deal either way, up to the school, they lose $$$ from enrollment, it will prob be removed

 

your right, they can choose to take their $$$ elsewhere.... if the school wants that $$$, they may want to remove it, in the end the school will decide

 

That's what you suppose. But if someone said 'men' in former times, he exactly means humans, regardless of sex or color.

 

And this is why people support Donald Trump, his election was a backlash against just this sort of madness.

 

That makes the whole thing twice as sad.

 

They are just trying to get media coverage. Trying to be more outrageous than the last uproar. These young people aren't developed and they are learning in college nobody cares about them so they raise a stink over whatever nonsense they can so they can feel as important as their Mommy made them feel at home.

 

For you perhaps. I think it's kind of funny
These ****ing morons are wasting their college years thowing fits about statues. They should be focusing on their education.

 

I think this is desperation for attention. These people are normally spoiled rotten little brats.
They might get a statue removed from campus but nobody is going to hire them in the field.

 

Just point and laugh at them when they have 80k in student loan debt and they are mopping floors.

 

It is part of their personal development. Looks like some need to be lefty extremists during college time, to learn how to distinguish right from wrong.
