If commemorations of Cecil Rhodes is so offensive then liquidate the Rhodes Scholarship and give the money to charity. The Rhodes Scholarship is as racist as any statue. Rhodes created the scholarship because he thought American WASPSs were the natural co-rulers of the world as the British. He wanted the American WASPs to receive a proper English education.

When Zimbabwe was Rhodesia, it was the bread basket of southern Africa. Now, it is the basket case of southern Africa.

Is it any consolation that the current ruler not only received a proper English education, but earned a PhD?

Ask Hillary if her Rhodes Scholar husband will give back the money.

That might as well tear the whole school down as most of it was built and funded by the fortunes obtained through all manner of non-PC activities over the past almost 800 years!

Demand that the administration, faculty & directors and their spouses/girlfriends/mistresses send all their diamonds to South Africa to be dumped down the deepest Kimberly Pipe. After all, these diamonds were torn from the heart of Mother Earth using Exploited African labor!

Someone here posted a before-and-after picture of a huge ancient statue in south-central Asia. It was carved into a mountain. The Taliban (or was it ISIS?) found that statue offense, so they blew it up.

The civilized world was appalled, and rightly so.

Every time some snowflake gets offended by Cecil Rhodes, Woodrow Wilson, Robert E. Lee, etc., that ancient statue should be referenced.

I’m waiting on West Virginia to remove that Klu Klux Klan recruiter’s name from every public entity in the state.

Bill Clinton is now the proud recipient of a Bishop Tutu scholarship . . .

Why not rename it the Cynthia Rhodes Scholarship?? Bill always liked Dirty Dancing . . .

Silliness has been fashionable on campus forever, but this Red Guards-style purge is becoming nonsensical.

The end goal is that eventually they will deem our Founding Fathers “racists” because they held slaves for a period of time. Never mind that many of them freed their slaves before (Washington) or at their deaths, in their wills (Jefferson). They will demonize the Founding Fathers in order to demonize everything they stood for. From the Washington monument to the names of all the cities to Mount Rushmore, picture the reshaping of America under leftist “political correctness.”

Just shut the college down, it no longer functions anymore as a place of higher learning. Let the bed wetters find a nice safe insane asylum to prance about in.

That's funny. When I was in the John Birch Society they said that Cecil Rhodes was a top "Insider."

Will the Birch Society now elevate Rhodes into a hero?
