Ann Coulter is pushing a brilliant campaign to compel Yale University to change its name: How about a bill withholding all federal funds from Yale University until it changes its name? The school’s namesake, Elihu Yale, was not only a slave owner, but a slave trader. Quite a dilemma for the little snots who attend and teach there! It will be tremendously damaging to their brand. After all, true sublimity for a Social Justice Warrior is virtue signaling and advertising their high SAT scores at the same time. Elihu Yale was certainly that: a slave trader, and a cruel man. Yale University bears his name because he was an early benefactor of the school.

Yes, but most black libtards blatantly ignore the slavery, KKK, segregation, Jim Crow, etc. of the Democratic extremist party.....

If that’s true, that would be reason enough to bolt the doors & turn the building into something else; something useful. Don’t need anymore like her running loose, let alone “serving” in Congress.

Cancel Harvard too. They had an entire building on campus named for Jeffrey Epstein.

If I were president, I’d refuse any person for government service who went to school at Harvard or Yale. Trace most of the greatest f-ups in American government and you’ll find there was a Hah-vahd or a Yalie at the center of it.

Harvard State has a nice ring for the new name

I would also start to make an issue that if slavery and deaths are so important than every library must strip all books dedicated to praising marxism and that all college curriculums must strip away any professors who praise Communism, no matter how small the reference was.

I really don’t understand the hatred for Ann when she is more Trump than Trump.
