JEFFERSON FOUND LACKING BY SNOWFLAKES
Posted in Uncategorized by Baba - Nov 16, 2016
According to some U. of VA students and faculty members the philosophy of unity, equality and civility is being undermined by the teachings of their founder Thomas Jefferson!
One wonders if these malcontent Snowflakes find these typical Jefferson words offensive? …
On unity-– “I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy as cause for withdrawing from a friend.”
On equality— “The best principles of our Republic secure to all its citizens a perfect equality of rights.”
On civility— “You and I have formerly seen warm debates and high political passions. But gentlemen of different politics would then speak to each other … It is not so now. Men who have been intimate all their lives, cross the streets to avoid meeting, and turn their heads another way, lest they should be obliged to touch their hats. This may do for young men with whom passion is enjoyment. But it is afflicting to peaceable minds. Tranquility is the old man’s milk.”
The malignancy of Progressive Liberal Doctrine has festered for too long in America’s institutions of higher learning. Time to stop being silent.
“All tyranny needs to make a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.” —Thomas Jefferson
