King’s College London is to swap portraits of some of its founding fathers with a "wall of diversity" amid pressure from students, a dean says.
The proposals were unveiled by Professor Patrick Leman, the Institute’s dean of education, who said that the faculty should not just be filled with “busts of 1920s bearded men” but rather more modern, diverse scholars so that the Institute feels less “alienating”.
It comes two years after King’s sparked controversy for removing a photograph of Lord Carey, the former of Archbishop of Canterbury, in response to his opposition to gay marriage.
Facing widespread criticism at the time, the university defended its review of a “window display policy” on the grounds that some images had been unrepresentative of the "diversity of our university community".
Professor Leman, who describes himself as “tribal Labour” in blogs, added that portraits lining the main entrance are “almost entirely white middle-aged men” and will be replaced with a “wall of diversity”.
Meanwhile, teaching materials, such as diagrams of the human anatomy, will be changed to feature a “range of ethnic groups”, rather than just the “standard white male”.

Re the anatomy charts...so blacks don't have the same organs and bones and whites do and Asians have different organs, bones, and nervous systems than either of the those other two groups?
WHY should immigrants integrate into a culture COMMITTING SUICIDE...? It’d be an act of illogic.
They can’t love us any more than we love our own past.
And from appearances we don’t love that, so naturally they get here and LOATHE us.
Malmo, Paris and London are owing to IDIOCY just like this.
UK has multiple possibilities. Unless it’s either imperialistic or basketball season.
They need a picture of Maya Angelou.
The history of the contributions of bearded white men is being hidden.
“They need a picture of Maya Angelou.”

Oh my God,I never understood what she was trying to say when she read one of her poems.
Overrated to the max.

#1. They should rename the school, Kings College, in honor of him, to “Queens College”. It’s more fitting
More European suicide.
You could be right. Although there is a strong resemblance to Kamala Harris.
He looks very gay; happy, that is...
Yea, but she's a black female. That means something.
Anyone who feels it important to not only notice, but make a big issue of someone's race is a racist.
If someone says that he feels "alienated" by the amount of melanin in someone else's skin, he is a racist.

After removing the pictures, it will be wholesale cultural appropriation.
Like Bammy said, “You didn’t build (invent) that.”
Look for revisionist history that states Aristotle, Michaelangelo, Da Vinci, Mozart, Brahms, and other notables all had dalliances with their slaves.
Sometimes I swear I am living in an alternate reality...
I think it is racist to say white faces are alienating.
