Several students at a Virginia law school are asking the administration to remove portraits of 'controversial' figures, George Washington and Robert E. Lee, from their graduation diplomas to be more inclusive.
Current students, some alumni and staff at the Washington & Lee University School of Law are circulating a petition to allow graduates the option of omitting the university's namesakes.
The petition's statement reads: 'We, the undersigned, call on the administration of Washington and Lee University and President William Dudley to provide students with the option of removing the portraits of namesakes Robert E. Lee and George Washington from their diplomas.'

I guess they would prefer it to be Bill & Ted U. . . .
Poor snowflakes don’t realize they are being led to the slaughter of their freedoms: George Orwell 1984 Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future.
Name it the “Jackson and Sharpton School of Law” because those two are masters of bending the law.
Why not just provide any angry snowflakes with small bottles of “White-Out”?
This is a product of the woke generation and movement.
The ignorance and idiocy among these brain dead degenerates knows no low too low to go.
I can think of a few groups to blame like the education system, the MSM/CNN/MSNBC, social media platforms, and brain damaged parents, but the truth is we are all to blame for allowing this to happen under our watch.
The bigger question is how to fix it. How to do a mass intervention to re-educate these mis-educated/misguided souls.
That was my first thought too.but I think charging for their lunacy will highlight how entitled they are because their parents would have to pay ultimately.
They can always put these extracurricular activities on their resumes. /sarc
When will they put a chain around Lincoln and drag him out of his comfy chair and destroy his memorial?
LOL post in a great thread.
You are all EXPELLED and you Won’t be Graduating.
Bye Bye.
Pathetic to whine about those images or about the men behind them. These snowflakes disgust me.
“...remind me never to hire a recent Washington & Lee JD....”
Unless their diplomas have Washington and Lees’ pictures on them.
The school should accept the petition as a resignation notice.
Rename the school for Freddie Washington and Bruce Lee?
My dad went to that university
The snowflakes are really going to have a tough time in the real world are they?
My wife, who spent a lot of time at W&L as a chick from Hollins, said make stickers the same size as the GW & REL portraits, and affix portraits of BHO and HRC in their place on the diplomas.
I don’t know when it went co-ed but it did. From what I saw very preppy & a very strong fraternity\sorority presence. Right across the street from VMI. In one block you can walk from a old Virginia blue blood environment to a US Army environment.
She ended up going to a small college in Virginia, another one in the ODAC - Randolph-Macon. They gave her a 75% academic scholarship. It was a good choice for her.
