This is the fanatical impulse of the iconoclastic mind, the deluded belief history can some how be changed by removing images simply because they are not ideologically or morally pure.

and well-known slave owner 🤡🤡🤡 A president was well known!?!

I think we will look back on this era like folks viewed the Joe McCarthy hearings in the 50s. Brutally stupid.

Why did you do this story?

Woke-ness on steroids

Sad. He did do great things; however, he was one father of our nation they should have gone after for child support.

Is the city of NY going to review the moral purity of all the statues in NYC. 'Cause you know, I kinda like have value skills in this area.

Future generations are going to look back at this time and just shake their heads.

Thomas Jefferson is a complicated historical figure. He owned slaves, he raped his slaves, and then he enslaved his own children. Oh wait, that isn't complicated at all.

Stupid!

If the way in which we treat people changed instead of removing worthless tributes, I would be the first one to help reinstall these bigots (uh patriots🙄) statues. But since that’s not gonna happen….

Stupid

When will we be blowing up Mount Rushmore?

“New York, like London, seems to be a cloacina [toilet] of all the depravities of human nature.'-Thomas Jefferson Not sure why NYC had a statue of him in the first place.

I love how the people protesting his removal in the comments below know literally nothing about Thomas Jefferson.

NPR might as well just start transcribing George Orwell verbatim for all of their headlines

Everyone gets cancelled sooner or later. Sad world we live in.

Why discredit him for doing what was very acceptable in his time? He was great in many other ways. Why choose one sin over others?

NPR Cookie Consent and ChoicesCool. Should be alot of land up for auction soon. This is the health care Kentuckians voted for when they elected people who don't care about them, but just use them. They are getting exactly what they voted for. It's been that way for a very long time and is likely to be repeated. No sympathy. I can’t tell! Go to the grocery, work any damn where and hardly a mask in sight!! Folks all up in one another’s faces, no social distancing. Restaurant staff barefaced. Would give the impression that out numbers are impeccable. smh
