Thomas Jefferson statue is on its way out of New York's City Council Chamber

[NatMorton]

New York City will exile Thomas Jefferson's statue from a prominent spot in city hall

"We're not being revisionist. We're not waging a war on history," council member Inez Barron said. "We're saying that we want to make sure that the total story is told."

Might I recommend we replace it with a statue of, say, George Floyd?

Be patient.

Statues of Mr. Floyd will soon be going up everywhere.

After all, the current Speaker of the House said that the gentleman should never be forgotten.

When the Honorable Speaker retires (hopefully next year), she will no doubt push for such a statue in San Francisco, a lovely Dem woke Utopia.

Trump noted that is was a real shame since Jefferson helped write the constitution. lol. Nothing like complaining about the removal of statue of a famous person about whom you have no clue.

What story would that be? That Jefferson was in Paris knocking up a 14 year old slave girl when the constitution was written?

As an amateur sculptor I struggle to imagine "appropriate". Hot and lightly clad, but not too slutty. Non-consenting, but not in a pornographic way.

Wait, I have her hand, touching a bible like it's red-hot. Give me a few days, I could work this up.

Jefferson didn’t have a 14 year old slave girl in Paris. What he did have was regular correspondence with his mentee Madison about the Constitution. So, although he didn’t write it, he certainly influenced its content.

You’ll have to ask the city council that. According to the OP, they removed Jefferson because “we want to make sure the total story is told.” I don’t know what story they’re talking about or how they intend to tell a “total story” about Jefferson without Jefferson.

LMAO... Someone alert Monticello!

When Sally Hemings was 14, she was chosen by Jefferson’s sister-in-law to accompany his daughter Maria to Paris, France, as a domestic servant and maid in Jefferson’s household. Within ten weeks, Hemings was transported from the plantations of Virginia to what Jefferson described as “the vaunted scene of Europe!”

You need to look up the name "Sally Hemings" and then come back to apologize for not knowing facts.

He penned the Declaration of Independence.

Removing a statue or Trump's ignorance of history won't change that.
