Well, it's a good thing that Michigan State doesn't have any buildings named after a certain Democratic Senator from West Virginia.

The Klan was not just a southern thing. This is in NYC.

How on earth did the guy’s KKK membership card end up in the library at CMU?

Stephen S. Nisbet was the superintendent of the Fremont Public Schools in Fremont, Michigan, the town where I grew up. He was close to the Gerber family; Gerber Baby Food was invented in Fremont; my dad was a career employee of Gerber Products Company before it became a subsidiary of first Sandoz, then Novartis, now Nestle. I graduated from Fremont High School in 1972. Mr. Nisbet had retired by the time I got to high school; he lived about one block east of the old high school building on E. Main Street.

Mr. Nisbet was the president of the Michigan Constitutional Convention; he beat out, among others, George Romney for that honor.

One of the things that the Cancel Cult is good about is how one error is sufficient to cancel a person. Here is a brief bio from Mr Nisbet's obituary. Note his accomplishments and the dates and then think of his probable age for the KKK Membership;

Stephen Sutherland Nisbet (1895-1986) — also known as Stephen S. Nisbet — of Fremont, Newaygo County, Mich. Born in Tawas City, Iosco County, Mich., May 28, 1895. Republican. Served in the U.S. Navy during World War I; school teacher and principal; superintendent of schools; vice-president, Gerber Baby Foods; bank director; member of Michigan state board of education, 1943-61; appointed 1943; delegate to Republican National Convention from Michigan, 1960 (member, Resolutions Committee); delegate to Michigan state constitutional convention from 26th Senatorial District, 1961-62; member of Michigan State University board of trustees, 1964-70. Congregationalist. Member, American Legion; Freemasons; Phi Delta Kappa; Rotary. Died in Riverside County, Calif., July 3, 1986 (age 91 years, 36 days). Interment at Maple Grove Cemetery.

Note that this bio lists him as a Republican, not a common affiliation for the KKK! Is there ANY HISTORY beyond the membership card that he was an 'active' member or actively racist? To me this is exactly like the Kate Smith fiasco, a single sin done as a young-ish adult under circumstances impossible to recreate. He has been dead for 34 years and so these Cultists are cancelling him and all the good he did in his past. Ben Franklin ended his life passionately against slavery, founding an abolition group, yet he appears to have owned a slave couple up to the 1770s. The latte is why he is in the sights of the Cancel Cult, in spite of the former 'redemption'!

Beware of these fanatics and these fanatics should beware of historical precedents. Robespierre relished the number of enemies he sent to Madam Guillotine UNTIL he ended under her pitiless blade himself!

Considering we are now in the burn-down/tear-down culture, shouldn’t MSU simply destroy the building? The building has roots to a person affiliated with hate.

This really means that the state of West Virginia will soon be declaring bankruptcy due to the costs associated with replacing all the all the Robert Byrd signs with George Floyd signs.
