Thomas Jefferson's hometown of Charlottesville, Va., will no longer mark his birthday: report
Thomas Jefferson’s birthday, April 13, will no longer be a holiday in the Founding Father’s hometown of Charlottesville, Va., the city council decided Monday.
City officials voted to scrap the holiday in honor of the slave-owning third president of the United States and instead adopted Liberation and Freedom Day, to be celebrated each March 3. The holiday commemorates the day U.S. Army forces arrived in Virginia in 1865, near the end of the Civil War, the Washington Times reported.
The vote to end the Jefferson holiday is just the latest of several setbacks for the Founding Father's legacy in recent months.
In March, some students at Hofstra University near New York City called for the removal of a Jefferson statue from the campus, claiming Jefferson represents racism and slavery.
In May, Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg said he backed the Indiana Democratic Party's decision to rename its traditional Jefferson-Jackson Dinner because both presidents were slave owners.

I think all of the PC loving liberals should stop using the $20 bill because of Jackson's visage being on the front.

And even though Lincoln freed the slaves as soon as the snowflakes realize what he said about blacks we can divide those sent in as well.

JimMy brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1
If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26
This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

We dont honor Jefforson for the moral flaws in his culture that he missed, but rather for the great eork that he did in his time and culture.

And what the heck is wrong with Jackson's shoulders on the $20 bill? it's like he has no neck, twisted shoulders and his head is too big for his body.
And does anyone else think he looks like Ted Danson?

I think condemning Andrew Jackson is easier than condemning Jefferson (well, not in a theological sense. All Christians should condemn Jefferson for cutting up the Bible and taking out all the supernatural parts) because the Trail of Tears was widely recognized as wrong even at that time, and Jackson ignored the Supreme Court telling him he could not send the Indians on their way (a lack of respect for the rule of law)."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill
