The University of Edinburgh in Scotland announced that it would rename a university building after George Floyd on Thursday. The Hume Tower was previously named after Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume, who is thought of as a notable classical liberal political philosopher. The Hume Tower will now be known as 40 George Floyd. The prestigious university, located in Scotland’s capital city, explained in a statement that the renaming was taking place because “of the sensitivities around asking students to use a building named after the 18th century philosopher whose comments on matters of race, though not uncommon at the time, rightly cause distress today.”

7+ weeks until Election Day. 50 or so days, where we’ll see at least 50 more accusations against Trump or his administration (with the CDC “re-writes” today), plus hundreds of actions geared toward social justice, BLM, and Antifa.

"If George Floyd had been given more time to fulfill his dreams," said Dean John Bruce, "I believe he would have excelled in any course of study at the University of Edinburgh." More time? George Floyd was a 46-year old repeat felon whose dreams consisted of little more than snorting fentanyl.

NOT the babylonbee. Why not ‘Fentanyl Tower’? Or ‘Counterfeit Tower’?

C’m on man. Who doesn’t think this is funny? :)
This does point out that it’s not just the US that’s gone mad. The whole world has.
This will leave a mark.

So...they’re naming a building after a guy who held a gun to a pregnant woman’s belly during a home invasion/robbery. Sounds like a great choice!!

What a terrible shame. I hope the alums show their displeasure by giving their money to more worthy and less “woke” institutions.

What did David Hume say about race? Was he nasty about the Irish or the French?
