Princeton University will remove Woodrow Wilson’s name from school, dorm building
NJ.com ^ | 6/27/2020 | Michael Sol Warren

After years of debate, Princeton University announced on Saturday that it would remove President Woodrow Wilson’s name from the university’s revered school of public policy.

The school, known as the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs since taking the former President’s name since 1948, will now be called The Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.

The decision, as well as a decision to remove Wilson’s name from one of the university’s residence halls, was made Princeton’s Board of Trustees at a meeting on Friday.

“We have taken this extraordinary step because we believe that Wilson’s racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a school whose scholars, students, and alumni must be firmly committed to combatting the scourge of racism in all its forms,” the Trustees wrote in a statement.

The move was recommended to the Trustees by Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber.

“Wilson’s segregationist policies make him an especially inappropriate namesake for a public policy school,” Eisgruber wrote in a statement. “When a university names a school of public policy for a political leader, it inevitably suggests that the honoree is a model for students who study at the school.”

Not gonna click on the link. Just tell me whether or not the author gets around to pointing out that Woodrow Wilson was a demonicRAT.

If not, allow me. Woodrow Wilson was a demonicRAT.

Google Leland Stanford and what he thought of Chinese.

Time to change the name of that school from Leland Stanford Junior University to

SAN JOSE JUNIOR UNIVERSITY

they just want all WHITE and WESTERN culture to be erased, and we’re next. They want a Marxist regime.
Never cheer these people even if they’re removing American liberal men from our history.

New names: Ho Chi Minh, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Malcolm X, H. Rap Brown, Marx, Lenin, Mao....

Like so many schools, parks and streets renamed for John F Kennedy in past years there will be a lot of repetition of the glorious immortal names of the highly exalted people’s struggle heroes of the revolution./S

right? Where in the world and under what system do blacks think they’ll thrive outside of the West?

I mean per capita they barely thrive here compared to other minority groups, but at least they have more opportunity. Maybe their goal is to tear down all the others that do better since they can’t rise up?

No doubt. Are we just going to sit back and let it happen or are we going to get out in front of this and point out that the vast majority of racists and white supremacists were and are demonicRATS?

It's time for Keyboard Warriors to up our game. Our country and President Trump needs us.

Woodrow Wilson was a leftist who’d probably been leading ANTIFA and BLM. This creep is one who deserves to have his name removed.

Woodrow Wilson was a warmonger and an enemy of civil liberties, and a supporter and enabler of Big Government.

Those are the ONLY reasons to remove his name—nothing else!!!!

Good. Wilson was the worst president of the whole bunch, even worse than the purple-lipped homo.

This what happens when the termites have eaten away
the foundation of history.

These are pure socialist actions, used in turning a
society into a socialist state.

Mumia did a lot less damage than Wilson did.

I certainly agree with you, even though good ole Democrat Woody continued the subjugation of Black people into the 20th Century by segrgating the military and federal employment.
But hey, Democrats will never admit their total responsiblity in slavery, segregation and creating Plantation cities throughout America.
They just continue to blame conservatives and the Republican Party....
