I think Jefferson deserves to have school named in his honor.
Like any historical figure, tragic human flaws will be discovered in his character. Communities hold different standards to personal behavior and legacy, and while I disagree with Berkeley's decision, I think local governments in the US ought to exercise their discretion this way. Let a "pink" community think "pink", and don't move there -- or better yet, move there and raise your voice.
