Cornell library removes Gettysburg Address, Lincoln bust
The College Fix ^ | June 28, 2022 | Jennifer Kabbany

“Someone complained, and it was gone.”

That’s all Cornell University biology Professor Randy Wayne said he has been able to determine so far about the whereabouts of a longtime display in the Ivy League school’s Kroch Library of a bust of President Abraham Lincoln in front of a bronzed Gettysburg Address plaque.

Wayne, a frequent visitor to the library, which houses Cornell’s rare and manuscript collections, said when he stopped in several weeks ago he noticed the display had been disappeared.

“It’s been there since I can remember,” he told The College Fix in an interview.

He asked the librarians about it, and they had no details to provide, except to say it was removed after some sort of complaint, he said. It’s been replaced with, “well, nothing,” Wayne said. The walls are white, according to photos Wayne took for The Fix.

The bust and plaque had been on display in the library since at least 2013.

Far above Cayuga’s waters, there’s an awful smell.

Some say it’s Cayuga’s waters; others say Cornell!

Lincoln was a republican, that doesn’t jive with the lefts lies. It’s why they don’t teach about it in our FU education systems.

There’s a chance the display in safe keeping, I hope.

America’s once elite universities are reflecting the neo pagan and decadence that now characterizes American culture.

A Republican and white. Two very bad things for academia.

It is not just “elite” universities like Ivy League Schools, Brandeis, and Stanford. It is almost all major universities coast to coast including The University of the South, Ole Miss, Alabama, Auburn, North Carolina, et al. The Diversity and Title IX offices have heaps of influence. Traditional American culture is mocked and ridiculed by the professorate.

Lincoln was a republican,


Not according to a plaque at Northeastern Illinois University. He was a ‘democrat’.

Does ANYONE have any kind of steel in their bones anymore or is everyone just mush when it comes to confronting enemies of this nation? Someone complained? F THEM!!! Seriously! This always amazes me, they immediately surrender when it comes to American history or patriotism, but CRT and talking to toddlers about sex must be protected!

Cornell has been a MARXIST stronghold and shithole since the late 60s. Look up George McT. Kahin and his SE Asia’s studies program.. gave us Hanoi propagandist Gareth Gary Porter and Hanoi supporter friends.

The walls are white

That sounds quite problematic.

I can't dignify that by terming it "culture".

Driven by it a couple of times. But no, I didn’t attend and my post was meant to be sarcastic. Apparently the plaque has been on the school’s wall for decades. Amazing since Illinois proudly proclaims itself to be the ‘Land of Lincoln’ and his portrait appears on their license plates. You would think they’d know better.

Been reading a biography of Lincoln and he was a staunch anti-slavery Whig before joining the new Republican party.
