Oxford University's statue of Cecil Rhodes is to stay in place after furious donors threatened to withdraw gifts and bequests worth more than £100 million if it was taken down, The Daily Telegraph has learned.
The governing body of Oriel College, which owns the statue, has ruled out its removal after being warned that £1.5m worth of donations have already been canceled, and that it faces dire financial consequences if it bows to the Rhodes Must Fall student campaign. ...

I’d really be offended if they took the Beanie statue down

Wow! That pic made my day! I had a stuffed talking Cecil- pull sting in the back. It was one of my favorite toys.

What they mad at Cecil about? Our son got his doctorate
degree from Oxford University (Oriel) several years ago
and now is a pastor.
I wanna see a Trump statue at Hillsdale College.

Jolly good!
My parents have been very generous with their alma mater. One year they paid for the redecorating of the college chapel. Then the college paid Bill Ayers to speak there. No donations since.
When my children were little I introduced them to wonderful things like Beanie & Cecil cartoons, and comedians like Danny Kaye, Bob Hope, Red Skelton and others so they would have an idea of the pleasures fast leaving our world.
Rhodesia should still be Rhodesia, the breadbasket of Africa. It was a thousand percent better as Rhodesia then as the rat hole cesspit that Zimbabwe has become today. It was absolutely pathetic and a great pity that neither Great Britain or the United States supported Ian Smith in those fateful days. it is another great pity that white Rhodesian farmers were not openly and enthusiastically welcome to come and we settle in America after the fall of Rhodesia. they would have brought a new life into our great Midwest farmland
Just who do those idiots image is the namesake of their prestigious “Rhodes” scholarship?
Wow. Is the pale, white, worm that built a godly civilization on the pillars of Greek /Roman/Judeo/Christian values that liberals//Marxists/ and primitives of all types abuse and try to destroy is beginning to turn?
Perhaps the destroyers should start asking themselves whay they have not been able to build instead of destroy.
