Now that statues of Presidents Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant and Roosevelt have been desecrated, vandalized, toppled and smashed, it appears Woodrow Wilson's time has come.
The cultural revolution has come to the Ivy League.
Though Wilson attended Princeton as an undergraduate, taught there and served from 1902 to 1910 as president, his name is to be removed from Princeton's School of Public and International Affairs.

Buchanan sucking up to the man who gave us the income tax. Let the rats eat him.
Not a fan of Woodrow Wilson, but I’ll just paraphrase the applicable poem:
First they came for Woodrow Wilson
And I did not care, because I thought Woodrow Wilson was a terrible man
TR’s Rough Riders included Native Americans and African Americans
I hear you, but still, if they would go after anyone, he should be at the top of list.
Got us into that stupid war, we had no business being in.
Well, Wilson gave us the Spanish Flu...the WoodyVirus
Huh?
If they go after Woodrow Wilson, they need to go after Clinton, Carter and Obama next. Obama’s ancestors owned and sold slaves.
And he resegregated the government and brought back the KKK.
Terrible guy.
But I am also not a trade unionist.
No one should be tearing down any statues, but if they have to pick one, the progressive incompetent Wilson would be my choice
Wilson was the most disgusting, racist, and harmful liar we have ever had as a President, bar none.
Not a fan of the building. Yamasaki also did the World Trade Center.
LOL! Not exactly polishing a turd but close. Dusting it off, maybe.
Wilson was an absolutely horrible president; my choice for the worst or second worst ever. But he did not give us the income tax. That amendment was passed by Congress on July 2,1909 during the administration of William Howard Taft. It was ratified on February 3, 1913. Wilson was sworn in a month later on March 4, 1913. Both the income tax and direct election of senators were, indeed, “progressive” reforms, but at the time most “progressives” were Republicans and the term meant something different than it does today.
This has zero to do with political party or ideology. It is primarily about race with a religious element on the side. That’s the main reason that DR3 is such a colossal failure. The mob doesn’t care about Robert Byrd (dead for a decade) nor do the people who pay for the mob.
Well then anybody with a degree from Princeton should have it revoked. But to be fair, Princeton should also refund their tuition.
Wilson was a puke globalist that can be thanked for giving us what is now the UN. The worst president ever until the Obozo captured that title!
At least we did reject The League of Nations.
The problem is, that since we got into WWII, that gave the people who said, “If only we’d joined The League of Nations, we would have had no war”, the ability to persuade us to support the founding of the UN.
Meanwhile, Robert “KKK” Byrd (D) still has his name on over fifty buildings and landmarks; Fulbright Scholarships are still awarded annually in the name of J. William Fulbright (D), a racist-segregationist, who represented Arkansas in the House and Senate for nearly 30 years (when will Bill Clinton get woke and return the scholarship money); and the Democratic Party still exists despite opposing the end of slavery, Jim Crow, desegregation, and just about every Civil Rights Act from 1866 to 1968.
