Seems the loony left is out to subvert history once again as it is not to their liking. The luddites in Berkeley,led by (a true misnomer if there ever was one) teacher Marguerite Hughes have decided that since Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, his name is not worthy to grace an elementary school.
Does she eve realize that - A: He was willed those slaves, and - B: He freed them on his death, and - C: more importantly that without him and men like him, she would not have the right to be stupid?
Probably not. People so ignorant cant be confused by mere facts.
That is fine by us Virginians where half the states architecture is due to him, and our very independance is a testament to him and other brave men and women who never knew the idiocy of political correctness taken to stupidity.
We have many institutions named after him in the old Dominion, and One of the finest Universities in the World started by him, UVA (William and Mary is the other one). We will gladly fill the vacuum left by the stupidty and ignorance in the left coast intelligence void of Berkeley with another School named for him.
I guess they will band George Washington next. Hello stupids! His wife owned slaves too!
