Princeton University's board has voted to remove the name of former U.S. President Woodrow Wilson from the university's prestigious School of Public and International Affairs due to his"racist thinking and policies."
Friday's statement by the board of trustees was shared with the Princeton community by Princeton President Christopher L. Eisgruber. "On my recommendation, the board voted to change the names of both the School of Public and International Affairs and Wilson College," Eisgruber wrote."As you will see from
, the trustees concluded that Woodrow Wilson’s racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a school or college whose scholars, students, and alumni must stand firmly against racism in all its forms."
It's collapse of our civilization.
Hell let remove Washington from Washington DC
Everyone knows that slaves have been free to go back to Africa now right? I mean if its so bad here and you hate the history so much why change the country when things are so great back at the motherland?
Obama put children in cages. Remove his name
So why are they doing this just now? It has long been known that Wilson, a Democrat, was overtly racist.
45 needs to pay attention to this. He doesn't listen to citizens maybe he will see what the board of an esteemed school for elite rich thinks of racist presidents. VoteTrumpOut
Yea but he was a Democrat and they can’t be racist
Guess the bridge is next...this is insane...
What can Columbia or Yale do to remove racist connotations?

Idiots! Why not remove ALL names from ALL buildings in the country and just name them Building A, B,C etc etc.

Everything is stupid.
Before I reacted I did my own research, I wasn't aware of Wilson's racism, the subject was never addressed in school His statements, policies, his actions re-segregating and or firing many POC from govt after years of working w/white after reconstruction RENAME IT ALL
I hope there was enough discussion.
This is getting beyond the pale
We need more of this looking at history from our current lens. After all, we are superior to all of those from the past as will be those in the future.

Merit based hiring. Colleges will now lower prices by 90%.
I’m proud to be American. I’m proud the world has gotten to this place. I’m thankful we’re acknowledging wrongdoings of our ancestors. I’m not proud at how long it’s taken or of leadership that’s caused it. We don’t need visual representation of the pain Lethistoryliveinbooks
...pushing better late than never to the extreme. Nazi grade racist and it wasn’t mentioned in my public school curriculum.
I think it’s high time we examine every show broadcast on NBC since they went on the air. Got a feeling a lot of racist shows were broadcast from coast to coast. Hmmmm....
Maybe they can rename it after a Princeton graduate, like Michelle Obama.
Meanwhile in Ohio....😡

When does the Washington Post change it’s name?
now?😂 all these years they could’ve changed it to show their commitment to progressiveness but after a national uproar, they change it. Institutions like college is nothing but a money bait for the future leaders of our country....
