That’s not enough. BLM should burn it to the ground!

You know the Indians and other so called indigenous people also colonized too right? They didn’t just spring up fully formed from their homelands.

[Samurai_Jack]

WELL alrighty then!

How about the George Washington University COMRADES!

I bet that would work well for them.

[Gay State Conservative]

OK,”The Colonials” is racist.How about “The Transgenders”?

[GOP_Party_Animal]

So it's bad if you're a "colonizer", and now it's bad if you are of the colonized; a "colonial".

Man, just can't win.

George Washington University drops Colonials moniker, officials say name fails to 'match the values of GW'

I agree, screw King George. OTOH, if they're saying that because those are all historical white guys who could spell, then I appreciate their candor in admitting they have no respectable values.

[dfwgator]

They’ll get rid of the “George Washington” next.

[Its All Over Except ...]

Battlestar Galactica will have to follow suit.

Those Colonials in their Colonial Vipers!

Racists!!!

“name that unifies”

Can’t wait to see what sort of “unifying” seditious / commie / queer, crap they come up with.

If you really want “unifying” maybe they’d be better off passing the job to the physics department, who’d probably name them “the leptons” or what not.

Our universities are enemy-occupied territory, sadly.

Going to rename them the Tories?

[plain talk]

George Washington was a surveyor, military General/leader and our first President. He played a strong role in getting our Constitution developed and ratified.

By any definition George Washington he was a successful and great man. Anyone that says otherwise must be a loser.

That is so f’n weak it defies description.

The colonials (the colonists, aka the oppressed) took up arms vs the oppressive overseas imperialists and kicked their asses out of here. Should be right up their woke alley, if they only had a brain. They need to be off to see the wizard.

[vaskypilot]

I remember a few years ago that students from India were offended by “colonials.” Colonial means something different in the United States than in India.

[T.B. Yoits]

The hypocrites need to then change the name of the school because George Washington was a Colonial.

[Rufii]

Anaheim High School in Anaheim, Calif. is the home of the Colonists--so named because Anaheim grew out of a colony of immigrants from Silesia.

The name came under fire as "racist," but late last year, the school board voted to keep it. However, the logo, a seventeenth-century militia man carrying a musket (aka a white guy with a gun) is to be dropped, which will cost the district between $40,000 and $60,000.

What they mean is that gwu values don’t match those of GW.
