Self-proclaimed "termites" undermine James Madison' Montpelier foundation

For more than two decades the Montpelier Foundation, originally created to restore the estate of founding father James Madison and honor his legacy as constitutional progenitor, won plaudits for its fulsome efforts to thoughtfully contextualize the role slavey paid at the plantation. For race-obsessed leftist revisionists, though, that wasn’t enough.

For now, self-proclaimed “termites” have succeeded in what amounts to a slave-centric takeover of the foundation, aided by a massive media frenzy portraying the path-breaking foundation board as recalcitrant racists.

During and after the takeover, the board and staff have been riven by major turnover, the foundation’s financial health has deteriorated, and Madison’s name and the study of the Constitution both are being downgraded by current management in favor of an obsessive concentration on Montpelier’s former “enslaved community.”
