FILE - This Dec. 3, 2015 file photograph shows the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University in Princeton, N.J. Princeton University on Saturday, June 27, 2020, has announced plans to remove the name of former President Woodrow Wilson from its public policy school because of his segregationist views, reversing a decision the Ivy League school made four years ago to retain the name.
Eisgruber said the trustees decided in April 2016 on some changes to make the university “more inclusive and more honest about its history” but decided to retain Wilson’s name, but revisited the issue in light of the recent killings of George Floyd and others.Wilson, governor of New Jersey from 1911 to 1913 and then the 28th U.S. president from 1913 to 1921, supported segregation and imposed it on several federal agencies not racially divided up to that point.
The trustees said they had taken what they called “this extraordinary step” because Wilson’s name was not appropriate “for a school whose scholars, students, and alumni must be firmly committed to combatting the scourge of racism in all its forms.”
Unfortunately President Woodrow Wilson is not a racist
Wilson was a wise man compared to fools who want to overthrow him.
Many people were open with their racism back then. It was normal. He still did better things for the world than most people. Double edged sword - in the future all the pro black panther esque, black racists which seem to be in fashion today will have their names removed too
So of of course Columbia University is changing it’s name too..right? Oh..
That university’s first nine Presidents all owned slaves plus a slave sale took place on property in 1766. So did you not do your homework? At least Woodrow Wilson didn’t own a slave.
The King of Liberalism
Wilson was a Leftist. Wilson brought us the crap that spawned the UN. Wilson was the beginning of lots of crap in the 20th Century that ruined most of society by pushing a progressive agenda. He is a Dem. The Dems own his failures. Especially since they carried his water.
Another Democrat who's statue is under attack. Funny that.
The first thing a guilty person does is try to erase all evidence of their crimes. Look at WHO is the most vocal and pushing to tear down statues, destroy memorials and remove all traces of past black oppression. White democrats.....
Panie prezydencie TKrzakowski MiastoLegnica czy nie czas zmienic nazwe Placu Wilsona? W zwiazku z BlackLivesMattter bardzo zle sie kojarzy, mysle, e gorzej niz pomnik na Placu Slowianskim. Woodraw Wilson byl rasista.
I'm not in Amerika but this is Unnecessary move.
Biden and his favorite KKK leader....
There candidate has his own history of segregation policies and he’s their man! Old - white - straight - man....
How it should be
The entry fee bribes. What reforms have been taken there? So now the privileged wealthy students don't have to look at a statue
So, when we renaming the State of Washington and Washington DC?
Are there still the intellectuals in Princeton Univ? They found one racist word from WW... and Blitzkrieg jugement à la Hitler and Polpot. There is no more débat! Everything decided by NAZI BLM Democrat Party.
This is freaking ridiculous!! Where does it end? Everyone could find something offensive if they want. I find it offensive that we are removing historic names and statues all over the country. 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it'
Why don't we just remove Jesus Christ's name from the Bible.
Change is the only constant thing in life,,, we can only change for the better, humanity has steped in
aomenya Your favourite institutions kumbe has a tainted past!
:D Did he not hold such views yesterday?
Good, next go through their library and burn any books that mention him.
Put BarackObama ‘s name on it.
Since we are removing the names of racist presidents from buildings, do you think we can convince Trump to remove his name from any of his condos? Asking for a friend
America is so engraved in racism, they're furious to learn the truth about their so called heros!!! REMOVE ALL THAT CRAP✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽
Good
Willson’s policy- ”one country for one tribe” had played a significant role in the post-WWI world. The action means his achievements were trapped in RACE, considered from our perspectives.
DanaDonatella
But wait!!!! Woodrow Wilson was a Democrat.....
Finally.
History never happened
Dziękuję, Panie Prezydencie Wilson za wszystko, co zrobiłeś dla Polski, mojej Ojczyzny. Dziękuję za to, że pomogłeś przywrócić jej Niepodległość po 123 latach niewoli, w 1918 roku. Choć od tej chwili minęło 100 lat, my Polacy nie zapominamy! Plac Wilsona w Warszawie jest i będzie
Is there a statut to topple
johndeereman603 Let's tear down the sept 11th memorial because the Muslims are offended!!! We persecuted them after 9-11. Just because some one is offended doesn't mean we erase history. If its not there to learn from then its destin to repeat!!!!
Yet another DEMOCRAT!! Wake up folks!! Just sayin
🙄
This is all well and good, but real reform is needed. Symbolic gestures don’t save lives.
Whoa 😮
Progressive Democrat racist
Princeton now there is some rich ass white privilege right there do not believe their bullshit
'Racist views' is a bit of an understatement don't you think?
Good for Princeton
CNN ABC NYTIMES WASHINGTONPOST MSNBC CBSNEWS FOXNEWS BBCWorld Reuters **BREAKING NEWS** THANK YOU PRINCETON UNIVERSITY! WAY TO GO TO RELIEVE RACIAL TENSION. TRUMP! PLEASE TEAR UP THAT RACIST EXECUTIVE CHOKE HOLD ORDER, YOU JUST SIGNED! SANCTION BY THE SENATE!!!
Democrat President Wilson? That Democrat President? The one who was a democrat?
They're all coming down! keep it going! 😂🤣🤣😅😅
Lets do the J Edgar Hoover building in dc next.
❤❤❤❤
This is getting embarrassing. Nobel Peace Prize winner who led this country in WWI. WoodrowWilson PrincetonU
Now let's take down the king of racista
Funny how a university would cave-in to a bunch of wokesters who wouldn’t even qualify for admission.
now we’re talking, Good Princeton for your leadership!
Any word on what Yale is going to do? 😂
Dimi I think my kids will be going to Frederick Douglass High School some day, and not Wilson HS. Though I thought the suggestion that they choose another Wilson to name it after to save $$ was pretty amusing.
Racism will now stop immediately
Here’s how stupid Princeton is! Woodrow stood for slavery and was a Democrat!
Now how about renaming it after Benjamin Rush? A former student and scholar who advocated for the mentally ill, started first college for women and an abolitionist against slavery. Oh and a devout Christian.
'A few years ago, Barack Obama would have been getting us coffee.' -- Bill Clinton to Ted Kennedy Guess we got to take Slick Willie's name off the Clinton library.
*Democrat
All of these statues should be put in museums to teach about the past but not left up to glorify them.
Have to start removing Obama’s name too!
White supremacy ... White Pride ... White Power ... George Floyd is a black criminal and junkie ... Fried in hell. The whites will resist you and you will end up again, gathering cotton without the right to look towards the white race.
White supremacy... White Pride... White Power... George Floyd is a black criminal and junkie ... Fried in hell. Biali dadzą wam opór i znowu skończycie, zbierając bawełnę bez prawa do spojrzenie w stronę białej rasy.
As did Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy. Later presidents may have been more circumspect if no less bigoted. Reagan?
Will Princeton now have as many Black Students as White Students which includes Chinese and Indian
I hear we are also going to eliminate the word wihite and replace it with the phrase “ not black”. They haven’t figured out what to do with the rainbow people yet.
Deciding publicly against racial inequalities & racist institutional images when it became socially unpopular allows for a bitter sweet reaction. Proactive social leadership is ensuring all students are represented w/ the most positively inspiring images. BE A SOCIAL PIONEER.
When is this B.S. going to end ? I've already switched from Democrat to Republican this month. Next step ... ?
By current standards, there's no way we shouldn't cancel the Democratic Party.
Woodrow Wilson, a longstanding Democrat and great president, HAS DONE NOTHING to deserve such a horrid attack on his dignity! Lets not forget President Hoover who led us full force into the great depression, and had the term 'Hoovertowns' coined after him due to such unemployment
Funny black students protested against putting the name up years ago and the school refused. How time changes minds and decision.
Stop the political correctness madness.
Don’t sleep on it. Real change is in federal laws. Not on removing statues or names from a building
I miss Aunt Jemima
Every page of textbooks that talk about anyone that did something racist should be burned. Just burn all the books. Burn down the libraries! Delete the internet! Just cancel the 1st amendment so people can't talk about it either!
Now change the bridge in Virginia
Instead of concentrating on a president who served 100 years ago (literally)...let’s concentrate on removing our current president.
Ffs. He was a PRESIDENT in a different time period! People need to stop condemning past people’s entire lives over one aspect that no longer fits with modern values. Human values are shaped by those around us. His values fit that period. Condemn THAT. Not the people.
His name has been on the school how long? Segregation was good public policy? Seriously no excuse for this at all.
... Bravo Princeton👏🏿
It's good to stop ignoring these parts of history. People are afraid of the truth. We can see that Wilson was a racist and that some people who are heros to the Civil rights movement might not have been perfect humans either Need to move forward to make the system better for all.
Wait till they find out that Princeton was named after Prince William of Orange who was a slave owner. Including two child slaves he named Cupido and Sideron.
Lol at “he was a Democrat!” - no shit Kyle, everyone knows Dems used to be the party of virulent racists. Yet today’s GOP are the ones who want to continue to celebrate them.
This is so stupid at this point.
Yes, removing names and tearing down statues will cure and fix everything! Our history u I s so horrible it’s a wonder how our country ever made it thus far! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
Margaret Sanger and Woodrow Wilson birthed (ironic huh?) the modern progressive movement
Good, the United states of America is changing and the younger folks aren't interested in the racist history of the past, that's the way that it is now
idiots
Woodrow was a big ole DEMOCRAT!
Birth of a Nation was the newborn to the overtly racist and Woodrow was the Father. Look at the all the white actors in black face and look at all the “real” black actors having a “grand ole time”.
CancelYale
Another democratic racist - but the media will leave out the democrat part
Woa..did not know that. Good for Princeton. They need to rename the W Wilson bridge here in DC then…….but about G Washington….they can hardly pull down the Washington Monument, Jefferson memorial, etc. Rename too?
Gladwell Did you see this? I’ve been bingeing your podcast, and recently listened to the episode that discusses this topic
Democrats have a long , significant history of racism that can’t be denied WoodrowWilson !!!!
The Nazis did this! Same thing happened in Venezuela!
Racists are the ones who are taking these down.
Another Democrat. Good.
How long before they change the name of the WW bridge in DC?
Yale is on the clock.
Looks like they are going to destroy the history of how we fought in WW1. Smh horrible leaders/good leaders does not validate destroying history. This show's how unstable people are. You think these rioters are crazy now wait about 20 years to see their offspring do worse!
Alright damnit when will the law changes start happening
A big win for humanity
It was $25000 i invested with sir Adam Bello and got $125000 in just five days it really looks surprising but trust me you shouldn't depend on anyone to make money just invest what you have with him and get positive feedback AdamBello01
Newsflash: Princeton is allowing members of BLM to rename its library. Odds on favorite is: Floyd Library. The alumni is vetting the Floyd family to find out if he ever had a library card.
Not necessary doesn’t change a thing.
No one is safe. No one. I wish blacks held blacks to the same standards they hold whites.
...
This is one posthumous cancellation I can get behind. Let’s get rid of the UN, too, just in case there’s any League of Nations still in it.
Princeton University has now deemed President Woodrow Wilson a racist ( with good evidence supporting it ) and is removing his name from it's buildings. Under the rules of todays woke thinking, shouldn't we also repeal the Federal Income Tax, since he signed it into law
Such an amazing University needed how long to do such a obvious act?
Rename Yale University as well. Elihu Yale, the university founder, was a racist trader in the East India Company.
Wilson was a racist DEMOCRAT!
He attended UVA Law and their foreign affairs program is named in his honour. The irony.
What's the big deal with all this racism hysteria lately?
Wilson also brought us the Federal Reserve in 1913. The beginning of the end of the USA. One of the worst presidents ever.
Watching the left time travel to find racism. Truly amusing!
🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
Is there anyone to share his racist activities?
It's going to take more than this to bring equality! The Black Agenda Podcast discussed how to fight racism in America with Dr. Brian Turner of Xavier University. Check it out!
Also Princeton remove the slave cubbies at the end of hallways in your dorms that you didn’t think we knew about or what they were for
Next is CancelYale
😂😂
I didn’t know this about him. I support Princeton’s decision!
Meanwhile at Princeton. Six main donors funded the construction of Nassau Hall. Five were slaveowners themselves, and the last was a likely slave-owner. Per their own website.
The whole point of naming the public policy school after Woodrow Wilson is he calls it show how wrong he was, forever being mocked. You people are dumbasses.
Another DEMOCRAT bites the dust.... when will the democrat party apologize for slavery?
Wilson, U.S. president from 1913 to 1921, supported segregation and imposed it on several federal agencies not racially divided up to that point. He also barred Black students from Princeton while serving as university president and spoke approvingly of the KKK.
'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
can we get rid of all his racist PROGRESSIVE policies as well
America is remembering she was founded not on enshrining kings, but entombing them.
Petty Princeton
That’s
What I don’t get is why people get pissed off bc things are being renamed. Things get renamed all the time. No one freaks out. Times change.
👀
Took long enough
Woodrow Wilson was incredibly racist even by the standards of the day. Good to see that schools are no longer whitewashing history
They are probably going to rename it the Kaiser Wilhelm II building.
Ahhh. So tearing down Confederate statues was to just get their foot in the door.
When is YALE going to close down?
Hahaha yes please keep removing more democrats.
Nassau Hall is named for William III who held the monopoly on the slave trade.
Considering his 'public policy' legacy consists mainly of WWI and the Federal Reserve. this is probably a good move regardless of his views on race.
Unlike other names we've seen get removed, this one really was a racist. I still feel we should display all of our history though, good and bad. Provide more information rather than taking it away.
Oh my god. What soft pussies
Democrats remove name of Democrat President b/c...embarrassed
This current moment would be a great opportunity for us to learn the damned lesson and quit naming things after people. Any people. For any reason. It’s just a bad idea. language names toponymy
Next, we have to demolish the usc statute of Neil Armstrong — symbol of white supremacy. Instead of investing in the black community, America wasted money on space travel, exacerbating inequality. CancelUSC DefundEndowment
I was wondering when they'd get around to that.
Knock knock. Anyone heard of the League of Nations? Precursor to the UN? Never mind.
If “Princeton“ refers to some prince of England, he was the son of a slave-trading monarch. The whole name’s gotta go.
This world is doomed letting morons and weak minded sensitive people make decisions that's why 2020 is such a shit year we need to let the strong survive again
Yale your move CancelYale RenameYale
Jesus Fucking Christ we have lost our collective minds. Go Reda’s Orwell’s 1984 again.
Not sure we will find anyone in our history that wasn't racist or a man that wasn't sexist.
W. Wilson is the father of the UN when created The Ligue of Nations. Time was tough with WWI. I don't get it!
Good idea- Wilson was a Democrat. No loss in that.
King George III (the “Prince” for whom Princeton was named), was Governor of and investor in a slave trading corporation.
When is Yale going to change their name?
I will still salute the president, nevertheless.
As long as we're removing names from things for racism, can we PLEASE start renaming the 'MLK Blvds.' that appear in every city
Yale, Harvard, Princeton are no longer elite schools. They are liberal garbage cans
And a Democrat. Democrats are closet racists
Tf
This will solve everything
Fuck Princeton
Lol at racist Democrats erasing racist Democrats from history.
Biden said some awful things about blacks and gays in the past, but he says he’s changed- Wilson didn’t get that opportunity
Good. Time to say bye bye to “Woody Woo”.
Interesting 🤔. I wonder if they will change the name of the Woodrow Wilson bridge that connects MD and VA.
LBWilsonHigh as a Long Beach resident, I speak for many others when I say it's your turn to do the right thing!
Um they just realized that?
Stop the madness
Good news 👏👏📰
mizdonna Marxism runs amok
👍🏻👏🏻
Princeton University should be removed since the College Trustees and Professors once had slaves.
Monmouth University removed the name of Woodrow Wilson Hall on 6/19
Hey Princeton , here’s a tissue for your chin.

I do not much care for this revision of history, I have known Woodrow Wilson for many years and not once has he ever said anything racist or inflammatory, which is more than I can say for you!
I think they’ve made the right decision. By the way, please feel free to check out and share my video supporting  BlackLivesMatter Aceca tali
Bene. Ora sappiamo che, evidentemente, non è una università così buona.
A racist Democrat.
If you know anything about history he was one of the WorstPresidentEver for both women and people of color.
Damn, Woodrow Wilson lead the United States to a victory in World War 1. And guess what if you consider him racist, he was a democrat. The left has no idea what they are doing.
Don’t worry they’ll still keep taking money from Islamic Facist Dictatorships for billion dollar endowments. Next step Change Princeton University to Muhammad University?
Like most other racists, he was a white democrat.
now it's time for yale to change its name.
Hallelujah !!! .
How many white professors will quit their jobs to allow a black person to have one?
Jimmy Carter said Woodrow Wilson was his favorite President.
One day everyone who wasnt vegan will have their name removed from institutions too
They’re trolling Yale.
To those who decry removal of these historical symbols as a denial of our heritage, I would argue that the existence of such monuments itself is a denial of our heritage.
What about Yale and Brown (founders involved with slave trade)? And Columbia...
Omg, we really have a big problem with imbecility
New Jersey Turnpike GovMurphy PANYNJ
Remove all history. That will solve all of our problems
Look at this michaelmalice
“I’ll never send my inbred children to that school”
The cleansing continues
The past is compatible with the present. We have to be sophisticated enough to understand that.
please we just want police reform and systemic change...... how hard is it to do that?
Good the Left eats another of their own
How are smart schools so DUMB? Intimidation: the mob asks for a dime and then DEMANDS a dollar. Then 10 dollars!!! Suckers! They are playin you like PUNKS!
I wonder what will happen when this audio tape gets unsealed?
