 I did my undergrad at the University of Virginia, which Thomas Jefferson founded, designed and was president of. TJ worship is a big thing there, though it mostly seems to be ironic with being people aware of some of the messed up things he did during his life. Last year the commencement speaker was one Stephen T. Colbert. Colbert made numerous references to TJ raping slaves etc, and it made the current president and other admin squirm. It's well worth a look (it's on Youtube) if you have the time.
