Published December 3, 2021 4:00am ET



Make plans to see the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C. — it might not be around for much longer.

That’s the direction we’re heading in thanks to the Left’s iconoclasm, which resulted in the removal of an 884-pound statue of Thomas Jefferson from New York City Hall last month after a mayoral commission decided it was too controversial. The statue had resided in City Hall for nearly two centuries, but it was boxed up and sent to the New York Historical Society, where it will be kept out of public sight in the organization’s reading room.
