Without the ‘Colonials’ there would have been no American Revolution; without the ‘Colonials’ there would be no George Washington University.

Obviously GWU does not teach (as a required course) American History, or if they do, a highly limited version.

Modern College undergrads: a study in ignorance.

Modern College grads: a degree in ignorance.

George Washington exists to feed the swamp.

GWU is one of my alma maters, and as an alumnus, I’m embarrassed by this latest SJW attack. Hey, Snowflakes, stuff it up your ***!

“I would recommend “Swamp Creature” as the new mascot.”

Let’s not offend the little snowflakes. I suggest the “Safe Space Kittens” of GWU.

How long before they are demanding that George Washington University change its name?

This insanity of name-changing will never stop as long as ‘officials’ give in to it. Someone will always find something to be offended about.

It all gets down to the liberal education system eating itself. The magic here is “who let the patients take over the asylum?”

It is an act of power. It feels good to force others to do what you want, and it is empowering to wrap the demands in a moral mantle.

There’s an end to it though. I still like the ‘George Washington Carvers’, knife, ham and all.

Liberals always grossly exaggerate the appeal of their crazy beliefs.
To them the validity of their beliefs is in how many people they can fool you into thinking hold the same beliefs, not in whether or not any of their beliefs hold water.
Only a liberal can maintain a straight face while arguing with you that EVERYONE believes the way they do.

No one is stopping them from moving back to England.
