Who is Jefferson School named after, anyway?

I was taken aback yesterday to learn that a teacher in the Plainfield school system recently inquired as to who the Jefferson School was named after.

Good question.

Was it Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America? Or maybe William Jefferson Clinton, 42nd president of the United States?

My vote is for George Jefferson.

What do you think?




Sherman Helmsley and Isabel Sanford
