Well, a local college has decided to remove bust of a founding father. The reason? He was slave owner, just like Jefferson and Washington.
What I want to know is why the they are removing the bust, yet keeping the school named after him.
Is it really too far fetched to think that maybe statues of Jefferson and Washington might also have to go?
From the article:
“Lori Vermeulen, Stockton’s provost and vice president for academic affairs, said Thursday in a letter to the campus community that the bust’s removal was temporary, and that there are plans to incorporate it in an exhibit that will show Richard Stockton’s role from a more historical perspective.”
I do think they are overreacting. Trumpy will probably unfortunately exploit this. Not that he ever heard of Stockton before.
