You can't quote
Thomas Jefferson at Thomas Jefferson's university.
At least that's what
the delicate snowflakes at the University of Virginia have demanded of the
current president, Teresa Sullivan.
The revolution shall consume its
own.
Sullivan is a Leftist. She is one of them, a Yankee carpetbagger
running one of the premier higher education institutions in the South, a school
Jefferson designed to combat the "dark Federalist mills of the
North."
But to the mindless politically correct cupcakes of the 21st
century, Sullivan represents everything that is wrong with America. Jefferson
was a slaveholder so he must be silenced, and if Sullivan quotes him, as she has
repeatedly done, then she must be silenced as well.
This is Robespierre
lopping off the head of Danton.
Make terror the order of the
day.
There are a few willing people willing to fight back.
Two
former Abbeville Institute students crafted the following letter (click the
link) to be sent to the president of the University of Virginia calling for the
resignation of those faculty members demanding that the president not quote
Jefferson in her speeches because he owned slaves.
It you would like to
sign it please do. If you have a title "Dr," "Prof.," etc. please add that.
This is also a
moment to remember what the Abbeville Institute adds to our current educational
environment. "Our" people are standing up for the Southern tradition, for
Jefferson, Lee, Jackson, Washington, Madison, Davis, Macon, Dabney, Thornton,
Boone, Crockett, Calhoun, Taylor, and Randolph.
Our exploration of the
Southern tradition is there to enlighten Americans about what that tradition
means and why it is important in the 21st century.
We are here to melt
the little snowflakes.
These former students who authored that petition
benefitted from our programs and educational opportunities.
Help us in
our mission. We can't do it without your support, and we need more men and women
like our former students, people willing to stand in the breach and fight back
against the cultural Marxists.
You can do this for less than $5 a month.
