Thomas Jefferson Statue Vandalized with Red Paint at UVA

The statue of Founding Father Thomas Jefferson was vandalized this past week, in the anti-statue mania that is gripping college campuses and cities across the U.S.:

The statue, which stands just outside of UVA’s Rotunda, was splashed with red paint sometime last weekend, according to the Charlottesville Daily Progress.

The statue has since been cleaned. Police are currently investigating the crime as an act of vandalism.
