Speaker 1: In two thousand five, a bunch of community activists at Berkeley, California,
Speaker 1: tried to force the local school board to change the
Speaker 1: name of Jefferson Elementary School. Berkeley was radical wacko leftist
Speaker 1: back then, but the idea getting rid of the name
Speaker 1: Jefferson Elementary was just too extreme even for the liberal
Speaker 1: school board back then. And now, how times have changed.
Speaker 1: Last week, the Berkeley Unified Scruel District Board approved a
Speaker 1: resolution in supported black Lives Matter, and as a result
Speaker 1: of the unanimous vote, Jefferson Elementary will get his name changed.
Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson is out of there, and a school named
Speaker 1: for George Washington, Washington Elementary will also get its name changed. Now.
Speaker 1: Never mind that George Washington was the father of our country,
Speaker 1: who led America the revolutionary war that changed the world
Speaker 1: for the cause of liberty and freedom. Never mind that
Speaker 1: Washington did what few would do. He gave up power.
Speaker 1: They wanted to make him king, he said no. Never
Speaker 1: Mind that Thomas je Person's role in writing the Declaration
Speaker 1: of Independence, his service as our first Secretary of State,
Speaker 1: or his own historic presidency. Both these guys were slaveholders,
Speaker 1: and that is enough reason to stamp out their names.
Speaker 1: Our history means nothing the leftist. The only thing that
Speaker 1: matters to them is erasing it. They don't know that,
Speaker 1: they really can't
