0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.240
<v Speaker 1>In two thousand five, a bunch of community activists at Berkeley, California,

0:00:03.320 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>tried to force the local school board to change the

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>name of Jefferson Elementary School. Berkeley was radical wacko leftist

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>back then, but the idea getting rid of the name

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:17.560
<v Speaker 1>Jefferson Elementary was just too extreme even for the liberal

0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>school board back then. And now, how times have changed.

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Last week, the Berkeley Unified Scruel District Board approved a

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>resolution in supported black Lives Matter, and as a result

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>of the unanimous vote, Jefferson Elementary will get his name changed.

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Thomas Jefferson is out of there, and a school named

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 1>for George Washington, Washington Elementary will also get its name changed. Now.

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.479
<v Speaker 1>Never mind that George Washington was the father of our country,

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>who led America the revolutionary war that changed the world

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>for the cause of liberty and freedom. Never mind that

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Washington did what few would do. He gave up power.

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>They wanted to make him king, he said no. Never

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Mind that Thomas je Person's role in writing the Declaration

0:01:01.880 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>of Independence, his service as our first Secretary of State,

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:10.720
<v Speaker 1>or his own historic presidency. Both these guys were slaveholders,

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>and that is enough reason to stamp out their names.

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Our history means nothing the leftist. The only thing that

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 1>matters to them is erasing it. They don't know that,

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 1>they really can't
