Grace Hopper headed the teams in the Navy that produced the first compilers for computer languages: COBOL and FORTRAN. It is not unreasonable to honor her.

“Grace Hopper headed the teams in the Navy that produced the first compilers for computer languages: COBOL and FORTRAN.”

Great accomplishments for sure and I don't dismiss them with this comment: I thought the Eli's were usually anti military too. So, I guess being a slave holder rates worse in their hierarchy of ethical offenses?

It is not unreasonable to honor her.

But it dishonors her to do it as part of a PC putsch.

It sends the ugly message that she is only being treated as a token, when in fact she deserves to be recognized on her own merits.

The issue is not honoring someone else. It is the absurdity of Yale dishonoring one of the true immortals of the U.S. Senate. Yale--as I posted on their news site--has acted in a way that would be analogous to one in which the Courtiers, in the Hans Christian Andersen classic, had taken the honest little boy away to a Communist of Nazi reeducation center, for daring to suggest that the King was as naked physically, as the Yale Administration is intellectually.

For anyone not aware of the mental clarity of Calhoun, here is a link to his Fort Hill Address: Calhoun Address.

I am certainly not usually a Geraldo fan. But I will applaud anyone who speaks truth to pseudo intellectual thuggery.

The fact is, Yale should have honored her long ago. Now they're just making it seem like she's a placeholder. Disgusting hypocricy.
