You're probably familiar with the left's push to obliterate every aspect of American history. All the things and people which made this country the bee's knees have got to go, according to stuck-up lefty douchenuggets.

With one vote, Charlottesville’s relationship with Thomas Jefferson just turned more complicated. The Virginia city, enveloped in the legacy of the Founding Father, will no longer mark his birthday on April 13 as an official holiday. It will instead celebrate Freedom and Liberation Day on March 3, commemorating when thousands of slaves were emancipated in 1865 after Union forces arrived in the city near the end of the Civil War. “We like to laud ourselves for the beautiful and great parts of our cities, while not subjecting ourselves to identify the harsh parts and the ugly parts,” said Wes Bellamy, a city councilman who pushed for the holiday change and led an effort to remove Confederate statues.
