Protesters toppled a statue of Thomas Jefferson in front of a high school Sunday night during a Black Lives Matter demonstration in Portland, Oregon.
Demonstrators gathered Sunday night outside Jefferson High School in Northeast Portland to protest the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man whose police-custody death in Minneapolis sparked a wave of national unrest.
According to The Oregonian, more than 1,000 protesters marched to Alberta Park and a smaller group stayed behind and toppled the statue onto the ground

It's all down hill from here.
Idiocy has won.

Well this is a sure sign common core education in Amerika has failed on the fronts of history. Because whilst there are many statues that may be a sign of oppression, it’s odd they’d topple one of a man who preached openly that all men are equal.

They may look different. But it's the same garbage.

Romans owned slaves. Should we destroy their landmarks and statues in museums. What about the Mayans. They performed human sacrifices. Should we destroy their temples.
Why is Jefferson fair game and those two examples are not.
