This controversy is merely the most recent example of Jefferson being pushed off his pedestal as the formerly unassailable father of American progressivism. As it becomes more and more difficult to ignore the fact that he repeatedly raped a child whom he owned, he's gone from American demigod to American demon.

this is where PC is going. rewriting history so founding fathers are the same thing as people who kidnap children & keep them as sex slaves. applying 2016 PC filter to 1790.
these are the same PC values as some people on this forum.
