UVA Students Want Thomas Jefferson’s Name Scrubbed From Campus Over His ‘White Supremacy’

Earlier this week, ESPN came under fire for swapping out commentator Robert Lee from a University of Virginia football game, out of fear that his name, which is similar to that of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, would trigger sensitive students and college football viewers.

Although the internet — myself included — scoffed at the idea that anyone would be offended by the mere name of an obviously-not-related-to-the-Confederacy Asian sportscaster, perhaps we were too generous to the student body of the University of Virginia.
