If we are going to go this route, banish the entire Democrat party and go all the way. Slavery was the defining institution of the Democrat party and they took half the union with them to prove it. They even created the KKK and developed the Jim Crowe laws of the early 1900’s. In the 50’s they stood against the Civil Rights movement led by Republican president Eisenhower. We don’t need our country sullied with corrupt racist Democrat party anymore. Ban it and send it to the dust bin of history. Pass this message along.

If they really want to avenge their family being put into slavery they need to trace their history and find out which one of their relatives in Africa sold their great great great great great grandfather to white masters. Only then will justice be served.../s

But that's probably the goal of these people. Dumbing down.

And in his will he left land to Harvard College to establish the first professorship in law at the school.

If they feel that strongly about it, they should give the land back to the Royall family.

Excellent——return the land he donated.

I like the way you think.

"Royall was banished from the US after the War of Independence and moved to England, where he died in 1781. And in his will he left land to Harvard College to establish the first professorship in law at the school."

If they were truly offended, then they would boycott a school that profited from an old slave trader until it went out of business.

It would cost a billion dollars to erase Byrd’s name from everything in West Virginia alone!

Get rid of Harvard Law School and I’m all in. After all, they gave us Barack (did he ever attend classes) Obama.

That’s genius. We need to figure a way to push that at the traditionally black colleges.

“Get rid of Harvard Law School and I’m all in.”

Yep. Get rid of the seal, the law school, the whole university. Take away any money, anywhere the school has. Give the land back to native Americans.

Then go after anyone that has a degree from Harvard, especially if they have made any money with the degree. Take it all away. Seize any assets earned with Harvard privilege. Such punitive action would be illegal but it would have to be done just once.

“I’m getting to the point of where I don’t want my kids to go to college. But that’s probably the goal of these people. Dumbing down.”

Just choose your college wisely. A church oriented college, or small, private and conservative colleges. Just avoid the big state institutions, or the known liberal ones, like Harvard, Yale, or Cornell. Also, avoid the University of Missouri, lol. Bad place for a kid to be right now.

Harvard should tell them to shove it and leave the Univ., if that’s the way they feel about its history. ...What happened in the 1700s has no relation to what’s happening today.

... you are still going to a school underwritten by slave dollars.
*************************
The LAND is what was left to establish the school; not 12 slaves.

The whole university is tainted. Burn it to the ground. /s

Heck, this whole country — and the continent of Africa — are tainted by slavery. Nuke ‘em. /s

I’m just about to the point of saying every time someone gets upset over these things and raises a stink that somewhere something named after King has its name changed back to whatever it was before....

most of harvard’s early endowments came from slave owners - including what was to become the law school.

seems the law school should be taken down, brick by brick.
