The University of Virginia was founded in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson as a means to “advance human knowledge, educate leaders and cultivate an informed citizenry.” However, in recent days, the radical Left at Jefferson’s university have worked tirelessly to dismantle the principles of democracy that Jefferson fought so hard for, attempting to cancel a visit from Vice President Mike Pence to the university.

Just recently, the editorial board of the school’s newspaper, the Cavalier Daily, stated, “Speech that threatens the lives of those on Grounds is unjustifiable.” This was their response to Young Americans for Freedom hosting the former vice president for a completely nonthreatening speech on April 12. In their editorial titled “Dangerous Rhetoric is Not Entitled to a Platform,” the Cavalier Daily editors, under the leadership of the daughter of a Virginia state senator, assert that “Pence’s presence on Grounds signifies a tolerance of rhetoric that has already harmed our community.”
