They need to start by changing the name of the city—named after this Honky:

Meanwhile they are doing all sorts of mental gymnastics to keep from renaming Rutgers University. Hiring a black President and renaming some campus buildings after notable blacks. Hey, if you are going to yank a person’s name off a building? Fine. Everybody has skeletons that will surface sooner or later. Do they outweigh positive contributions? Probably not, given the era. But to remove a name to please an under educated mobs’ demands and replace the name with another (skeletons yet to be discovered) is cowardly, spiteful and childish.
Being in Camden, they could name the high school for some dead black Communist, like Paul Robeson. Especially since he had NJ roots, being born in Princeton.
About time. Wilson is the racist who blocked blacks from federal jobs, helping create the DC slums.
New Jersey school district members feel much better knowing their race has no racism like all other races.
I despise WW. Wholeheartedly despise him. However, I would not change the name. Our history is our history.
Huey Newton or Bobby Seale.
Camden needs to name the high school after a mass murderer—Pol Pot or Stalin would be good.
Woodrow Wilson is one of the worst Democrat presidents this country has ever had the misfortune to have, and that’s saying something. I’d oppose removing his name, though, because students need to learn about Democrats through the decades and the amount of damage they’ve inflicted on the United States.
If you are going to remove a presidential name from a school, Wilson is the one to remove. Just don’t replace it with Brandon Grade School
Isn’t there a Woodrow Wilson High School in Washington, D.C.? Time for a name change (if not done already). They changed the name of the high school in Washington that my mother went to prior to WWI and I went to after WWII. Renamed it in honor of a Black politician.

(I'm no fan of Woodrow Wilson, but if I were Woodrow Wilson's ghost, I'd be lobbying to get my name taken off this school.)
Yeah Kamala Harris High sounds totally appropriate!
Hunter Biden “High” has a nice ring to it.
“They don’t know the Federal Reserve and the income tax was created on the Honky Wilson’s watch.”
Maybe because neither one was.
Teddy Roosevelt supported an income tax in his 1907 SOTU speech. The resolution supporting the income tax amendment was part of 1909 Payne-Aldrich Tariff Act. The Amendment was circulated during Taft’s Presidency and ratified before Wilson took office.
Similarly the Federal Reserve began with the National Monetary Commission, a creation of the Aldrich–Vreeland Act of 1908. The Commission’s reports and plan were all published during Taft. The 1913 Federal Reserve Act was based largely on the Aldrich Plan. Senator Nelson Aldrich (R-RI). Wilson signed the bill but the drive to create the Fed began during Teddy Roosevelt and was carried forward by two Republican Congresses.
Woodrow Wilson was born in Staunton, Virginia.
Now that’s ironic. WW has always been a hero to the Marxists.
Fair points—both parties were owned by the Kleptocrats back in those days—just like today.
Woodrow Wilson, the early 20th Century’s combination of the worst aspects of Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden.
