Professors ask Sullivan to stop quoting Jefferson
Many student groups believe Jefferson shouldn't be included in emails


Some professors from the Psychology Department — and other academic departments — did not agree with the use of this quote. Their letter to Sullivan argued that in light of Jefferson’s owning of slaves and other racist beliefs, she should refrain from quoting Jefferson in email communications.

“We would like for our administration to understand that although some members of this community may have come to this university because of Thomas Jefferson's legacy, others of us came here in spite of it,” the letter read. “For many of us, the inclusion of Jefferson quotations in these e-mails undermines the message of unity, equality and civility that you are attempting to convey.”

The letter garnered 469 signatures — from both students and professors — before being sent out via email Nov. 11. Signees included Politics Prof. Nicholas Winter, Psychology Prof. Chad Dodson, Women, Gender and Sexuality Prof. Corinne Field, College Assistant Dean Shilpa Davé, Politics Prof. Lynn Sanders and many more. Asst. Psychology Prof. Noelle Hurd drafted the letter

Well Sh1t, Why not just rewrite the History books and take Jefferson out completely.

Say that John Doe was Third President of the US and that John Doe wrote the Declaration of Independence. After all we want to make these Professors happy.

These a-wipes should have a legacy such as Thomas Jefferson had.
In their ####ing dreams.

Didn't President Alexander Trump buy the Louisiana Territory?

Classic sign of very small minds...trying to judge history and historical figures through a lens of current times.

That's what morons like TJ and bongboy do.

Ironically, perhaps, I'm a member of a club that was established in 1931 by FDR and other like-minded Democrats...and they chose to name it after Jefferson and dedicate it's being to the "pursuit of Jeffersonian ideals"

Go figure.

Exactly. Jefferson built in, against no small pressure, the very secular basis for liberty and justice for ALL

Those 469 need to be given walking papers.
