Then again Medius, I think people who would say "this is a good thing to do, but I don't like it cause it's what the SJWs want" seem just as irrational as the SJWs themselves.

OK, let's pretend that everyone here agrees with the following:
- the guy was a psychopathic slave owner
- in principle, we should not elevate such people to any higher status
- we need to recognize the past, yet not glorify it
I think we can all agree on that. But, again, where do we stop? I could very well argue that ANY slave owner was psychopathic (by today's standards). Do we remove Benjamin Franklin, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson from all school names, cities, roads, etc.?

The Jefferson purge is already upon us. Good riddance though. He was a loon and a vile southerner who would surely have joined in on the treason were he around in the 1860s.
