Drool-stupid students can’t read Lincoln’s history.
Assassination wasn’t enough? Tough crowd!
Doesn’t matter - they just listen to some liberal history quack.
I think they missed an important history lesson and this little internal squabble we had.
Well, we know what university not to attend. So stupid.
Pay them no mind - counting the fingers on one had is a difficult task for many of these child intellectuals in Madistan
All you UW-Madison “woke” students need to send all your “racist” 5 dollar bills to my address...I’ll get rid of ‘em for you...
“War is Peace “
Yep. Freed the slaves, preserved the Union, gave his life: not enough for the cancel crowd.
If you weren’t a moron before you entered college you certainly will be one when you leave.
University of Wisconsin - Orwell
All of them?
Nothing new. A bunch of Democrats still don’t like Lincoln
I’m surprised any of those college students would attend school in a town named for a slave owner.
OH I get he freed all the slaves and that makes him a racist!! WHAT a bunch of MORONS!!! I am so glad I do not have kids in the university system BECAUSE I would not spend a dime send them to these propaganda camps!!!
Do the folks at “The Lincoln Project” know this?
“If you weren’t a moron before you entered college you certainly will be one when you leave.”
Yeah and it only cost Mommy and Daddy about $200,000
Emancipation Proclamation—such white supremacy!
Well it is consistent at least. There is zero question Lincoln was a flaming racist by today’s standards. So if we are to remove the statues of Confederates and of Washington and Jefferson, etc then any statues of Lincoln have to go too.
