Boalt Hall School of Law finally written out of existence. What happens when you have crazy leftists and transvestites take control of your institutions, and rewrite the actual history of institutions. This article is full of false statements. I would point out that no actual Chinese law students (from China, or other parts of Asia for that matter) were consulted or part of this process. They were all American leftist race activists.

Damn. At this point, about the only positive thing about the Berkley Law School is the name Boalt.

Everyone I know simply refers to the school as Boalt

This ain't gonna fly with a lot of the alums

“UC Berkeley removes racist John Boalt’s name from law school”

I like it! First he’s denied a chance to testify, and now this!

[IncPen]

Two observations:

1. “Racist” is an opinion, not a finding of fact

2. Does John Boalt get his money back, with interest? If I were an heir I would insist on it

[Captain Peter Blood]

Another example of revisionist history. Boalt was a product of his times, again Leftists are trying to use todays thinking and such to make it retroactive to the past.

[goldstategop]

Convict a dead man without giving him a chance to defend himself.

So much for due process.

[Menehune56]

This is beyond pathetic. Unbelievable even!

[aquila48]

Mao’s cultural revolutionaies and the Taliban were mere pikers compared to our leftists.

[dennisw]

John Henry Boalt had his name up there for 60 years. He had a good run.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Boalt Hall...Officially declared a “Non-Person.”

Some of the fine scholarly minds involved in the "renaming."

[04-Bravo]

The city of Berkeley was named after Bishop George Berkeley, who owned a handful of slaves when he lived in America. Thus, the city and the university are named after a slave owner. I believe the city and the University should immediately change their names, to disassociate themselves from this racist past.

From the article:
We should be able to decide what legacies we should uphold and which ones we will not.

Thus, today's lawyers who are perhaps tomorrow's leaders learn to argue the Constitution is a living document. (/snort)

One could almost bet Janet Napolitano had a big role in the back story.

[DoughtyOne]

And yet the people who pull racist stuff against White’s today, are thought to be fine upstanding citizens.

I am so sick of the double standard that is now the flag of the Left.

[Drango]

I was just about to donate $100,000,000, but not now.

The assimilation of races, Boalt said in his speech, was needed for the “internal harmony essential to a nation’s property and perpetuity.” He cited five reasons why races might fail to assimilate: “physical peculiarities,” “intellectual differences and differences of temperament,” “differences in language and customs,” “hatred engendered by conquest or by clashing of national or race interests” and “religious fanaticism.”

These statements are common sense. The Left is at war with reality. At some point, reality will reassert itself.

[5by5]

It’s hypocritical that in their precious wokeness they didn’t also return the money used to fund the law school.

I guess cancel culture is fine if and only if it doesn’t cost the proponents anything.

[married21]

JD ‘89 from Boalt. I think they should keep the name, setting it in floor tiles at the front door. When people walk over his name whom he considered less worthy, they will have some satisfaction, and yet the history will be preserved.

[Truthoverpower]

Absolutely correct

I went to Berkeley and the place was teaming with wacko leftist types

I wound take them on in groups and frustrate them all with the truth
