- Princeton University is renaming its public policy school and Wilson College after concluding that U.S. President Woodrow Wilson’s racist thinking and policies “make him an inappropriate namesake.”
Announcing the move on Saturday, Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber said it related to the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and Rayshard Brooks, Black Americans who died at the hands of police in recent months. It contrasted with a 2016 decision to keep the schools’ names intact after considering a change following student protests in November 2015.
His policies make him an “especially inappropriate namesake for a public policy school,” as it suggests he is a model for students at the school, which “must stand firmly against racism in all its forms,” Eisgruber said.
What about Yale?
What about its own name which to is for a slave owner...has anyone heard from YALE
Crazies
Why are we removing things from the past? Shouldn't we be going forward? Have We forgot that USA was founded on a 'Melting Pot' of people.
Wilson was not perfect but he looked for moderation at the end of WWI. Better than France Italy or UK. Wilson did a good job.
Princeton kneels!🤨
I think we should just drop the racist and white privileged Princeton. Inner city state schools baby!!!
Wilson was also a Democrat. Let that sink in.
Federal income tax was introduced by Wilson. Will they abolish that too?
He was a putz. Not my favorite president. So I am emotionally unmoved. However, I disagree with the general notion of succumbing to bullying and threats of violence and vandalization. It promotes this kind of attempt to control.
The woke idiots continue to shoot themselves in the foot
So much Black Fragility going on lately.
The bid for naming rights starts at $50-million.
Uh-oh...
haha...maybe they should drop the princeton name since he sold slaves
good
Insane

Princeton to remove Woodrow Wilson's name from school, citing his 'racist' policies"Trustees concluded that Woodrow Wilson’s racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake" for the School of Public and International Affairs, the Princeton president said. If it is about racist policies, JoeBiden should drop out while HillaryClinton should be out of politics. Do these retards know by today's standards all those generations were racist. Why erase the past instead of learning from it and see our progression. Itʻs time to remove J. Edgar Hooverʻs name from the FBI building. tedcruz DrRandPaul RandPaul DanCrenshawTX montaga theangiestanton __timscott__ JohnJamesMI
