I would be in schadenfreude heaven if Yale was forced to get rid of its billion dollar brand. Brown University needs to be targeted too. The Brown referred to was a slave trader too.

[C19fan]

I think Princeton declared Woodrow Wilson an unperson to stick it to Yale.

[MtnClimber]

Maybe it should be named Malcom X-U.

[BRL]

Just think of all the endowment money that should be rejected as dirty racist priveledge money

[Red Badger]

The lyrics to ‘Freddie the Freshman’ are racist!................

[Da Coyote]

Ah, the unending correlation between real racism and liberalism.
And somehow our “eddikated” media chooses to ignore it.

[BBQToadRibs]

I’ve seen on other boards liberals posting that anyone pre-civil war was a slave owner or “complicit” which is equally bad. They all need to be removed.

That’s where this is being pushed.

[Red Badger]

They could call it ‘Freedom University’......Good ole’ FU!................

They should rescind the degrees granted at Princeton during that infamous time period that Wilson the racist was the president of the university (1902-1910). Some of those with fraudulent degrees went on to teach at universities throughout the country. Those degrees must also be rescinded. In fact, all who have been tainted by the nefarious Wilson and his academic descendants must be discredited, and their works undone. This is the fruit of the poisoned tree, and it must all be discarded!

And since he was President at the time, we should declare Germany the winner of WWI!

[RoosterRedux]

Changing the name just obscures its links to slavery.

That's like Charlie Manson changing his name to Chuck Mason. It's still good ole Charlie on the inside.

Yale must be abolished, stamped out, toppled like old statues, burned to the ground, and forgotten.;-)

“Brown University needs to be targeted too. The Brown referred to was a slave trader too”

No.
Nicholas Brown Jr was an abolitionist.

[RummyChick]

Harvard too. They also profited of a photo of papa renty. Dont know what happened with that lawsuit

[eyeamok]

I don’t think that goes far enough, we should Invalidate and VOID ALL Degrees ever issued by this Racist College and All People that were Educated by this Inherently Racist Education Facility BANISHED FROM THEIR JOBS.

[RummyChick]

Brown university has a history based on slavery. They even commussioned a study on it. You can read it for details

[JennysCool]

Considering how many academic leftists brag endlessly about their Ivy League educations, I don’t see this happening any time soon. It’s just not as impressive to say, “I got my degree from Stokely Carmichael People’s College.”

[JennysCool]

So is the goal to rename Brown University as Black University?

[pepsionice]

Maybe Xi University, after the supreme leader of China?

[aquila48]

I’m just wondering how much longer before they demand we change the names of the days of the week, the months of the year, redefine year zero...
