As a child, I attended Thomas Jefferson Elementary School. The library held a life-size bust and a plaque highlighting many of his personal contributions to our country's founding. We (regardless of color) were all proud to attend school there.
Now, thirty years later, it's undergone a name alteration adding the name of our city to it, making it Holland Jefferson Elementary, thus removing the American heritage from it altogether. The library's now a bust-less regular old library now and the only way any of the students know who Thomas Jefferson is anymore is if their parents shared it with them - and we know that's not happening.
It's just sad and needs to end. We need to cancel the history-erasers.
