Allentown Morning Call ^ | 01/08/2020 | DANIEL PATRICK SHEEHAN and MICHELLE MERLIN

Just days after Wednesday’s insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the Lehigh University Board of Trustees has rescinded the honorary degree granted to President Donald Trump three decades ago, a move sought by many members of the school community since Trump won the White House.

The school awarded the degree in 1988. In 2018, faculty voted by a wide margin to urge the Bethlehem school’s trustees to rescind it, calling some of Trump’s statements racist, sexist and Islamophobic and not representative of the school’s values.

Wow, I’m sure the President of the United States is just devastated that a third rate brainwashing institution doesn’t like him anymore.

On the flip side, I hope every alumni stops donating.

In other Breaking News CNN is getting reports that Trump’s own children have said they will be changing their last names to “Biden” in protest for the Capitol Hill riot.

Does Donald Trump even remember getting this stupid honorary degree?

An honorary degree from Lehigh is almost as worthless as a real one.

They’re really trying to turn this into something - it’s quite amazing it absolutely must of been scripted

And we have the Joan of Arc. ASHLI BABBITT

I feel just as strongly about the police officer who died ; and the other three citizens who died because of the police assaults on them

It is very clear that they are trying to use their own attack on themselves !!!as a bulwark. of “inciting a riot”

As much as the media has credibility this lie will sink
In.

Of course it’s completely ridiculous on the face of it and of course the proof will come out that these were paid agitators to do what they did

The police were in on it

So, they have planned to do this for four years anyway.

The Lehigh University degree can now be used for toilet paper.
