Former First Lady Michelle Obama, a prominent Princeton University graduate, praised her alma mater for deciding to remove Woodrow Wilson’s name from a residential college and the university’s school of public and international affairs.
“Heartened to see my alma mater make this change, and even prouder of the students who’ve been advocating for this kind of change on campus for years,“ Obama wrote. “Let’s keep finding ways to be more inclusive to all students — at Princeton and at every school across the country.“
The Princeton University Board of Trustees met last week to discuss the issue and how the school could oppose racism. The trustees concluded that Woodrow Wilson’s racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a school or college.
Princeton University President Chris Eisgruber said in a written statement on Saturday that the board reconsidered the matter this month as the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Rayshard Brooks drew renewed attention to the long and damaging history of racism in America.
The school will now be known as “The Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.” The university had already planned to close Wilson College and retire its name after opening two new residential colleges currently under construction. Eisbruger said the university will accelerate the retirement of the name. The college will instead be known as “First College” in recognition of its status as the first of the residential colleges.

Time enough left for some virtue signaling! Omg.
The affirmation action queen speaks...

Woodrow Wilson. Democrat.
Why didn't she call for the bldg to be renamed??
Cultural Marxism at its best.
When can we start erasing the name Obama from any and everything?
Let’s not wait. Let’s start today.
“Let’s keep finding ways to be more inclusive to all students — at Princeton and at every school across the country.“

Especially women with penises.
This cracks me up...Wilson should be right up her ally considering his penchant to be Liberal.
Does she know history/
As soon as people stop pretending he was ever legitimately President.
Obama is not a natural born citizen.
The Constitution says natural born citizen is required.
Both parties cooperated to violate the Constitution.
How long until they go after FDR?
Play them the tapes of LBJ talking about blacks...
Never heard her whine about it.
YEAH?????? What’s the deal?
And yet I’m sure she supports limiting quotas for Asian students in the Ivy league schools. While we’re getting rid of “racists” let’s get rid of anything with Obama’s name on it since he was the biggest racist to ever visit the White House let alone occupy it.
Do ALL the Obama’s “lead from behind”? I am sure that as an enlightened black student, she knew of Wilson’s history.
As former first -—ch why in the world didn’t you use your position of leadership when you had it?
At least hold up a 8½ x 11 piece of paper on it for the camera!!!
If your asked her, she could tell you very little about him.
He also praised his doctors ability to remove his dick.
She should tear up her diploma.
