Student activists at Hofstra University are demanding the removal of a statue of Thomas Jefferson from campus. “Please understand that this is a protest against white supremacy and that you as white people – even though you’re allies – benefit from white supremacy!” Owens wrote. Come prepared to step up if racial slurs or otherwise offensive things are said to organizers of color or poc attending. Hofstra supports our students’ right to engage in peaceful demonstrations about issues that matter to them. We look forward to continuing a civil exchange of ideas and perspectives on the subject,” the university told Fox News.
