University students across the country -- at Amherst, Georgetown, Harvard, Princeton, Yale, UC Berkeley and dozens of other campuses -- are caught up in yet another new fad.
This time, the latest college craze is a frenzied attempt to rename campus buildings and streets. Apparently some of those names from the past do not fit students' present litmus tests on race, class and gender correctness.

They want to rename buildings in honor of their murdering heroes, like Che, Fidel and Raul, Mumia, Assanta, Ted Kennedy, etc.
My son is a junior at a university here in CA, and he’s told me straight up that his generation is so blindly indoctrinated that they are dangerous.
It’s not just the students. The faculty drive much of this.
It’s amazing to see overly educated white people saying “I know how black people feel about this”
"...the Odungo hut for further destruction of America"
The “students” roaming the halls of our universities these days are the direct product of an ultra liberal supposedly non judgmental primary education. Of course the non judgmental actually means they are the most judgmental sifters of what they deem moral, ethical or palpable. There is a related thread here on what is going on at Emery University with the support of its nitwit school president which takes the cake: chalked signage supporting Trump for president is a threat!
A few years ago there was a big uproar over a statute to a WW II hero, Boyuington, at the University of Washington “because the “”students”” did not wish to celebrate a person who shot down many enemy aircraft”. I would have loaded them all onto boxcars and showed them exactly why individuals who did what they had to do to save our country were indeed heros, more so than these mindless liberal snowflakes.
As the article notes, their ire can be mitigated if the individual has a history of also being for liberal causes. Boyington bad, Che Guevera good. See it is easy. Someone who risks life for US, bad. Someone who is a terrorist commie good. Quite a screening process and one that will not hold up to sane scrutiny.
Indeed, also names like Mao or Joseph or Pol would probably seem more appropriate to these empty, feel good minded heads.
The ones who espouse all of this crap should have the name of the street that they live on changed to Dumba$$ St.

So....
When does Compton, California break ground on Shaka Zulu Boulevard?
Rewriting history is so empowering. Beats the effort that goes into actually succeeding.
If they want to start renaming, a whole lot of “san X” cities in California have to be renamed.
I vote we call them all “TOKEN”.
I hope MIT is immune. They have superficial diversity of odd and even names, with some but not all prime. Building 1 represents identity naming, as expected. They even have a few hybrid building names that start with one or two letters (mostly upper case W, WW, NW, where E is the only vowel).
However, I was traumatized to observe that none of the names are negative, transcendental, imaginary, or anything else beyond the bland natural numbers of the past - absolute zero diversity in those fields. That's mean! Will MIT's future scientists and engineers protest this irrational outrage and push for a broader range of names, from mutliple domains? Where is the nerd whose voice will ring out for naming diversity on MIT's campus and confront this complex educational dimension? Who will push for a new group of names, the inverse of their previous systematic bias, perhaps even a group of buildings named for differently-abled numbers, an "Abelian" group?
Many of these “snowflakes” are the spoiled
grandchildren of WWII veterans who wished to
protect them from the Hell that is War. - I
have counted the cost; & he taught me that. I
pray that when I am weighed in the balances, I
will not be found wanting.
My dad was a WWII combat veteran of N. Africa, Italy &
Germany. He didn’t want his “little girl” to have
to pick up a rifle & go to war.
I’m 69 yrs. old & am now having to pull out my
great,great grandfather’s old Smith & Wesson revolver
and practice my shooting at this late date. These
precious little “snowflakes” are deluded indeed.
I’m also beginning to wonder whether George Washington’s
vision for America wasn’t a true story after all. It
sure looks a lot like it might be the way things are
going. :o(
The ‘renaming’ fad is similar to ISIS bombing and destroying antiquities from a past they want to pretend doesn’t exist...
It’s vile.
That was the idea from the getgo!
Runaway Integerism, loud and proud and unabashed like they were the Ku Klux Klan in the 1920's, completely shameless! And Positivism -- that's only good in a judicial environment, and only if the judges have "good hearts". Very, very risky!
O the shame! O the amorality!
