Why don't they just exhume his corpse and put it on trial?

[agere_contra]

Wow, some Liberals stumbled across the truth about their own party.

[Catmom]

Wasn’t Wilson a college professor and father of the idea in America that government is the answer to life’s problems?

[Eagles6]

"The man he chose for the postal department, which had the most black employees nationally, had campaigned on the promise that the Democratic Party could be counted on to keep black people out of its own ranks and out of the government affairs of the Southern states. "

Wait...what?

[Arthur McGowan]

The buildings and institutions with Wilson’s name on them should be renamed for the various Republican Presidents who proposed Civil Rights acts between the Civil War and 1960.

Andrew Johnson, Grant, Harding, Eisenhower. I might have missed some.

[rawcatslyentist]

Wasn’t he the one that sold our currency system to the illuminati? He sure let them put their mark on it!

[cripplecreek]

Liberals trying to clean their history.

[Soul of the South]

Once Princeton folds, the name of Wilson will be expunged from other public buildings and monuments as quickly as the Confederate flag has been removed in the a South. Next we will see an intense and highly organized campaign to remove Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis and any other Confederate leader from the nations memory. Obama’s name will be the neficiary of many of these erasures as he I’ll be out of office and the campaign to ensure his legacy will begin in earnest, not unlike the crusade to name everything for John Kennedy after the assassination.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and all of the othe slaveholding founding fathers will be next in the campaign to purify the nation and erase its racist past. How many years will it be before the faces change on our coins and currency and the contract is issued to remove the slaveholders from Mt Rushmore? Ten years, five years, two years? Who will stand up and say enough of this? Or will the young generation be content to enjoy its sexual freedoms and technology gadgets while the tyrants reshape our collective memory and impose the secular religion of political correctness defined by the elites?

We as a society can and should agree the institution and legacy of slavery is a horrific and incompatible with the ideals of Liberty on which the nation was founded. It should continue to be condemned by all today and in the future. However if the price of atoning for slavery is to replace the ideal of individual liberty with a notion of justice and equity imposed by an all powerful state we will have exchanged the memory of the plantation for the chains of another master.

Woodrow Wilson, Robert E. Lee, Thomas Jefferson and George Washinton are long dead and will feel no pain if their names are erased forever from our buildings, monuments, and books. The children of those who celebrate the lighting of the match to burn the books will live with consequences of belonging to a society where the concept of inalienable rights is also expunged and the few privileges of citizenship, including the term of one’s life on earth, is forever defined and redefined by the constantly changing needs of the central authority.

Once again the New York Times amply demonstrates it’s bias by not even hinting that the time frame specified (post Civil War) was almost exclusively GOP Presidents, 35 of 43 years! I discount the Andrew Johnson term as the immediate post-CW was more a time of readjustment and he had his own problems with the Impeachment effort!

[samtheman]

He was one of yours, NYT. Your progressive forefathers worshipped him.

[Tallguy]

"But the fact that racist policies enacted during Wilson's presidency are still felt in the country today makes it imperative that the university's board of trustees not be bound by the forces of the status quo." To what are these idiots referring... specifically? This is exactly what the radicals in BLM want -- to create a public perception that institutionalized racism exists in today's America. It doesn't. It resides instead in the minds of a few individual and groups seeking leverage over the rest of us. Groups like "Black Lives Matter".

I don't abide the expunging of presidents from history because of how they are regarded in the present-times. If I think that Woodrow Wilson was a bad president that is my opinion and his memory should serve as a warning. I mean after all which president or public figure is 'safe' from this kind of treatment? Can the Kennedy School at Harvard be far behind?

[Dixie Yooper]

Should we stick up for Woodrow Wilson now, or wait till they get to FDR and Truman and then We stick up for Ike?

[StonyBurk]

Woodrow Wilson did say something worth repeating before these stupids— “A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday does not know what it is today,nor what it is trying to do.... . The Bible is the one supreme source of revelation of the meaning of life, the Nature of God and spiritual nature and needs of men.It is the only guide of life which leads the spirit in the ways of peace...” —Denver rally ,1911 These poor /poorly educated / and led stupids are being led to the destruction of our Country.

[armydawg505]

Makes me wonder how we won WW 1 with Wilson as commander in chief? Wait, that doesn’t matter. Not important. Not something to talk about. We could be speaking German? Who cares, he was a racist and that’s all that matters.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Wilson was a great man! After all,

“HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR!”

That is, till he got re-elected.

Reminds me of LBJ’s promise NOT to send American boys to SE Asia back in 1964.

NEVER trust a Democrat!

[bgill]

If he was so bad, why did they enroll in the university in the first place? There’s nothing keeping them there. There’s the door. Use it. The greatest punishment (/s)they can administer to Princeton is to find a black university to use their free scholarships and gov grants at.

[JoeFromSidney]

I hate to side with the Black racists and their liberal allies, but the facts are what they are. Wilson was a racist. He imposed racial segregation in Washington, DC, and encouraged it elsewhere. In addition, he was a statist who did his best to increase government control over the economy. Conservatives have every reason to condemn Wilson.
