Students at Pennsylvania college demand building called 'Lynch Memorial Hall' be renamed because of racial overtones
Students at a small Pennsylvania college are demanding that administrators rename a building called 'Lynch Memorial Hall' because of the racial overtones of the word 'lynch.'
The building is named after Clyde A. Lynch, who was president of Lebanon Valley College from 1932 until his death in 1950.
Students want school officials to either rename the building entirely or add Lynch's first name and middle initial, saying the word recalls the public executions of black men by white mobs in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
It was included on a list of demands that students presented to the school on Friday. Other demands include a more diverse curriculum, more sensitivity training for staff and regular surveys of the racial climate on campus.

These people are too dumb to be in college.
I wonder what they think of Loretta Lynch?
So gay...
Political Correctness has converted these dens of mental deficients into petri dishes of clinical sociopathy.
Can there possibly be a way to expel the troublemakers only and save the learners?
Or should the entire student body be expelled and start all over with a clear prohibition, zero tolerance, for clearly defined infractions that poison the prime mission of any university : to teach and to learn without kindergarten rich kids exercising their "delusional right" to disruptive militancy for "safe places" and other psychobabble bullshit!
Time for some adult leadership to step up!
Being so stupid must really, really hurt.
I demand that x-rays be renamed because the term reminds me of a certain racist black Muslim.
Tell’em it’s “Lynch Memorial Hall” because it’s a memorial to all the mattering black lives lynched from 1860 to 1969. About 2000 in that century, if I calculate and remember correctly. And some of’em had it comin’.
They probably don’t even know who she is.
True
The republicans that were also lynched for helping blacks don’t matter
This is about how deep the left goes these days.
I love autumn in Penn. The leaves turning, the nip in the air....(WHOOPS, can I say that?!?!?!)
Are there any students at Lebanon Valley College who aren't retarded?
I suggest they construct a new building just for them, and use a spade for the ground breaking ceremony.
They are seeking power. The name change, stupid as it sounds, is how they go about showing university administrators who is boss.
It’s wonderful to see this happen to one of the most despicable groups around - left wing university deans who created this problem in the first place. Now they cannot control it.
The higher education bubble is coming!
These are the same people who want to jail “climate deniers”.
Yet another shimmering example of brilliance from the public education system.
