    Students at Hofstra University are demanding the school remove a Thomas Jefferson statue.

    The group included other demands as well, including "mandated, comprehensive, cultural competency training.”

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I wonder if any of these cultural incompetents have actually read Jefferson's comments on Slavery?

The only slaves on that campus are slaves to their own ignorance.

Exactly. That's why I laugh when the local Dems hold their annual "Jefferson Day Dinner." Clueless.

For who,them? If so,sounds like a good idea to me. Not sure they are trainable,though.
