Princeton will remove former President Woodrow Wilson's name from a campus building due to his 'racist thinking and policies'

The building will now be known as the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs, the release says.

"We have taken this extraordinary step because we believe that Wilson's racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a school whose scholars, students, and alumni must be firmly committed to combating the scourge of racism in all its forms," the release says.Wilson was the country's 28th president, from 1913 to 1921.This week, Trustees at New Jersey's Monmouth University voted to remove Wilson's name from its Great Hall.

WTF. LEAVE AMERICAN HISTORY ALONE

and this does what

FFS it's part of your very very short history, good old USA, 'Barabarism to decedance without civilisation in between' Oscar Wilde so true

And his stance against women's suffrage and lying about not leading us to war.

Another Democrat. Say his Party! Say his Party!

Well, since they're removing all things racist, isn't it time to remove trump from office.

America is officially cancelled 😞

I really don’t see what erasing history will benefit anyone, I rather think what we will do ahead - pretending mistakes never happened is some kind of denial. Think forward.

Resolutely oppose this kind of history tampering. Will CNN be less harmful to American and world teenagers and report some positive facts about the United States?

坚决反对篡改历史

From Joe Biden on Obama: 'I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,' Biden said. 'I mean, that's a storybook, man.' Isn't this 'racist thinking'?

There candidate has his own history of segregation policies and he’s their man! Old - white - straight - man....

'Every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered...History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.' -- 1984, George Orwell

Would be better to keep it and to add 'he was a fucking racist'

Wtf

So we have gone all the way down to judging dead people for they way they think... wow you people should all just jump off a bridge together and end your suffering

Bring them down. This is the beginning of the end of white supremacy in the world.

Maybe you all should be making sure there is never a “President Trump” anything - school, road, plaza, library, boat etc etc

That’s it. Cleanse the country. Then no more racism. 🙄

Geez if you remove him there are few more that would need to be removed!

Idiots

Just remove Princeton

Will they burn the writing of Aristotle?

Compeletion comidean

next the rest of the US.. rename to native American names

WILSOOOONNNN! Cynical_History

this whole thing is way past ridiculous

Changing a name of a building changes nothing! Wake up people! POC aren’t all of a sudden better off because name changes to be PC to POC!

Cool, can we remove the current racist president from office.

Trump 2020. MAGA

Hope Princeton that dump goes bankcrupt

Doing everything but what we're asking for.

Trump 2020. Fake News

Goodbye to bad rubbish! 😏🖕

Stop the insanity!

So funny these fanatic people. I guess someday they will reconsider the presence of Aristote in their university, because this guy thought that slavery was a natural thing and some one deserve to be a slave.

'Every book has been rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered.... History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.' - 1984, George Orwell

....let’s keep the Marxist way of thinking rolling along, shall we?....

Funny how they waited til 2020 to do this🤨

I hear Yale is associated with slavery. If it is true how about we close it down while we at it shall we.

TubbsShow Idiots.

Who cares anymore!!! Democrats started the KKK. Is Byrd’s painting still hanging in the Senate ? He was a member of the Klan. I have a great idea. Let’s level the whole country down and start over again. Stupid liberal commies.

And when is Yale changing their name?

What a joke yet again by the radical left!

The “thought police” are on the prowl. Ready to cancel anyone, past & present, with the “wrong” thinking.

Patético. La agenda de los progres ,borrar el pasado, para acabar con el mundo occidental y los estupidos que se dejan manipular para que luego también sean víctimas de esa agenda.

I am very elated that Americans are NOW becoming aware and educated about who Woodrow Wilson really was. After both 1900 and the war, Wilson was a secret KKK member and promoted keeping freed blacks suppressed and unequal to whites - promoting lynchings and terror in the south.

Make sure The Odd Couple disappears also.

Cancellin everyone out here

Can you say or do anything that is not racist anymore this country is going to hell fast

I think democrats are trying to cancel their racist history

Been a registered Democrat almost 40 years. Trump is an abomination. The GOP Senate is an abomination. Conservatives in general are an abomination. But this HAS TO STOP. This re-naming of this and that, tearing down of this and that. It’s not the way to deal with past racism.

Another democrat

I thought SCHOOLS/COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES would uphold the value of knowledge and learning. It seems like IDIOCY has got into their skins! There is no balance in almost every area of the world. CHURCHES do not stand on what is good🙄 POLITICS taking over🙄

Princeton should change it’s name. Founded by a religious group and expanded under the presidential term of Woodrow Wilson. Shame. All degrees from Princeton should be invalidated.

Ridiculous

I mean it's not like the dude helped us win a major military conflict and also came from a time when that was the norm

Hope he never wrote a book or that will be removed . Thought we went to war to stop this sort of thing what’s happened to people learning from history not trying to rewrite it

It's like criticizing someone for smoking indoors back in 1956.

FFS. You can’t change the past, get over it and move on🙄

insanity. pure insanity. what is wrong with people. The former President had 'racial thoughts'., How about the thoughts to the antifa person beating upon a police officer?

Why Democrat’s want to get rid of history it’s the past

Those who chose to ignore history are doomed to repeat it

Excellent, Woodrow Wilson was no saint. Interesting how weak willed university officials change their tune when the mass populous rise up. Power to the people.
