The good folks over at Campus Reform report that leftist students at Hofstra University are demanding the college´s administration take down a statue of founding father Thomas Jefferson because the statue represents a "legacy of racism and bigotry on college campuses." Campus Correspondent Sergei Kelley reports that Hofstra students held a second annual "Jefferson Has Gotta Go!" event on Friday. In addition to demanding that Jefferson´s statue be torn down due to his slave-holding past, the group that gathered sought to ´´expose the culture of bias and discrimination" found on college campuses. Who exactly put on this event?

How much do you want to bet that most of these spoiled little pukes are majoring in something ending in "studies?"

These schools are teaching these kids to hate their country and history! They are learning this hatred from these Marxist professors that are poisoning the minds of the young!

Name a country with a "legacy" they prefer.
Then have them pack their bags and move there. Now. No waiting to graduate.
They surrender their US citizenship and passports. Scram. Get out.
Proving their propagandized brains and arrogance, they assume authority to make moral pronouncements and condemnations on things which the greatest Republic has dealt with and which it continues to strive toward, indeed "a more perfect Union."
Time for the adults to set down and maintain the rules. Add expulsion to the list of penalties.

Gads what imbeciles.
..:Wonder if they’re aware one of the patron saints of the Democrats, JFK, said of Nobel laureates in 1962, “...this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone. Someone once said that Thomas Jefferson was a gentleman of 32 who could calculate an eclipse, survey an estate, tie an artery, plan an edifice, try a cause, break a horse, and dance the minuet.”
The intolerance and idiocy of these little historicist flowers would be ironically funny if it weren’t so lethal.

I wonder if these twits are familiar with the Molasses Triangle and the complicity of the Northern colonies in the slave trade. It went like this: Molasses from the Caribbean was shipped to New England where it was distilled into rum. The profits from the sale of the rum went to Africa to buy slaves. The slaves were shipped to the Caribbean to work the sugar cane plantations where the molasses was produced. Slaves were imported from the Caribbean to the southern colonies to work the tobacco and later cotton plantations.

How about we replace all portraits of Presidents on all US Currency with pictures of Bernie, Hillary, Obama and Maxine. Next they will show up at the Reagan Library demanding the stature of him be removed.

The entire concept of college appears to have jumped the shark at this point. It’s time to go back to Guild training for skills and crafts, unless one plans to be an engineer or doctor. The “studies” crowd of lefty drone shock troops the current system is turning out has exactly zero value for society.
Ps: I’m guessing these Hofstra kids couldn’t get into UVA?

One of the organizers behind this is PLANNED FREAKING PARENTHOOD!!?? One of the organizations behind the slaughter of innocent Black babies? Forty percent of aborted babies are African American. You freaking morons, go to an abortuary and demand the stop to the slaughter of your brothers and sisters.

Replace it with one of the Left´s Founding Fathers, like Marx or Lenin, and the protests will stop.

As if that will erase his history? Maybe it is time to start drafting all these young whipper snappers into the military again so they understand the sacrifices made for freedom.

Gawd help US gain sanity back in this country. If you are going to behave like that, I "demand" all statues of MLK be taken down and all street signs removed. Want to fair and equal? No?
Bring back the draft. Make real adults out of these whiners and bed wetters.

If they were not total frauds, they would demand the closure of Yale and Vanderbilt Universities. Yale was a slave trader and Vanderbilt owned numerous plantations. Where’s their outrage over that? Never going to happen because those two universities are hotbeds of leftism.

If you have a problem with TJ, why attend a college he founded? Pack your stuff, and move on.

These kiddies need the Rush Revere American history series and a Liberty Horse to catch up on their education.

The problem is that the "people in charge" have lived in their ivory towers of academia for too long, and believe exactly the same as these brain-dead students do!!!!!
Socialism has infected every level of education, and it is the tool that the Marxists are using to destroy our nation!!!!!
Imagine if WW-III breaks out. With the lie-beral mindset of generations of people "educated" in hating this country, our government will surrender faster than France since we will have no young men with the will or ability to fight to save a nation that they have been raised by our education system to hate!!!!!!
It will be up to the old people to fight!!!!!

"College students demand...."
The automatic answer to ANY of these should be, "Drop dead, and do that again and you are expelled"

These poor kids are ignorant. You have to view Jefferson in the context of his time. He was very progressive. These twits would complain that cavemen were sexist or lacked table manners. Stunted growth syndrome.

Its WAY past time for a college administrator to stand up to these bossy little snots and tell them "NO!!" And if they continue to vandalize the statue, pack up their dorm rooms because they are IMMEDIATELY expelled if they are caught, convicted or confess!!
