The University and the greater Charlottesville, Virginia, area in which it is located has taken it upon themselves to be defined not by academics, or history, or any other trait. Rather, those in charge of local government and University administration prefer to be defined by a single characteristic: the August 12, 2017, “Unite the Right” rally.
While on the one hand they call for educating students on the histories of Charlottesville and the University, they also call for “creat[ing] a physical environment that reflects our commitment to equality and disavowal of white supremacy.” The issue for them is, predictably, anything and everything under the sun about the University is what is wrong with the University.
Perhaps you should fly a blm flag over the university. That UV, is just how insane your editorial boards musings are--
UV--shame on you--You have now become a part of the radical left in their limited focus and fanatical drive to erase the contribution of those who created the pillars on which this Republic is standing. Do you not recognize any contributions of the founders to this Republic?
rewriting history to please a few nothing new AH did this for Germany regarding WW1
That is ridiculous. It is our history like it or not.
America1Scotty So where would they be if he hadn’t founded the school!
Erasing real history to replace it with fake history!
America1Scotty Someone’s trying to delete history 👀 Looks like they are hoping for a future take over and forgetful nation. I hope for the next 30-40 years they’re wrong!
America1Scotty Expel the Editorial Board.
America1Scotty Get rid of the Communist newspaper. That's a better idea.
Why don't they just shut it all down and be done with Jefferson's legacy to this country...
Waste of ink.
Why not deport the editorial staff...Burkina Faso, Togo, Chad?
45LVNancy Woke is broke!! They better watch out!!
Pathetic!
This is more Lib horseshit. They should also bring back all of the Confederate war hero statues. It’s history dammit.
The University founder no less.
