I love Satire......................
Next week, they’ll vote to remove “Washington.”
The new name will be “and.”
The professors don’t own the school nor pay the bills.
There are too many Washington colleges and universities and he was a slave-owner as well. A large plantation slave-owner let us not forget.
So, if you are going to remove Lee, you need to remove Washington as well. Rename it say “Woke College.” Double dare you.
All colleges should be renamed using a modified Dewey decimal system.
A liberal arts college could be 1000, the first one would be 1000.1. And so on.
I’m sure that will offend someone, so at some point, we’ll just have to shut them all down, and that would be the beginning of healing this country.
I demand this byatch be renamed. Ponce de Leon was on Columbus’ 2nd voyage, claimed Florida and Puerto Rico for Spain, and was PR’s first governor!
Then change the reference to Harry Lighthorse Lee, they won’t know the connection, they’re too ignorant of history, even the history professors.
What are they going to do with General Lee’s remains? Rebrand them unknown?
Brandon Hasbrouck, an associate professor of law at the university, argued that his peers have not taken their fight for social justice far enough. Hasbrouck argued that the university should remove George Washington’s name as well.

Who didn’t see that demand coming next.
Chapter 11 University
So are they going to tear down the Chapel and the Museum? How about digging up Traveller?
These people are despicable.
Shameful. Lee did much to re-invigorate the college during his tenure as president of the university after the war. Regardless of his Civil War deeds, his postwar work for the school helped save it from failure.
After all, "7" is retired forever from Yankee uniforms, in reverence to Babe Ruth. [All MLB retired numbers]
Are these cowardly professors who also happen to be historic illiterates? Do they know the history of Washington & Lee University? Do they know the history and accomplishments of George Washington? ...of Robert E. Lee?
What will they accomplish by erasing history? Of what are they afraid? How will they cave in next?
I recommend that each and every one of them retire and get out; perhaps they should join BLM who also want to erase our country.
Richard Henry Lee could be an easy switch.
Will they remove his body from the dampus too? It’s located in Lee Chapel...
Do they also plan to exhume Lee’s body from the chapel and dump it into the street for BLM to stomp on? During the French Revolution mobs did the same for the bodies of French Kings buried at St. Denis. For good measure the chapel itself also needs to be destroyed as it offends Muslims and atheists.
“...making students from “diverse backgrounds” more “comfortable” on campus...”
Just how the hell does the name of the university make a student feel “uncomfortable”????
We are in serious trouble because of the attitude and mind-set of today’s teens and 20-30’s....
Save money and time...remove Washington at the same time. Then it will be the No Name University.
