Plus, demonstrators in cities including Portland and Seattle are trying to occupy parts of the cities.The board of trustees at Princeton University voted Saturday to remove the name of Woodrow Wilson from the School of Public and International Affairs for the 28th president's"racist thinking and policies."
This Dec. 3, 2015 file photo shows the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs at Princeton University in Princeton, N.J.The building will be known as the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs. A residential college, named the Wilson College, will also be renamed to the First College.
The renamings come as protesters across the country have called for the removal of monuments, statues and buildings related to historical figures with links to slavery or racism in the wake of Floyd's death.The statement from the board touched on the broader issue, saying it is important"we recognize the complexity of historical figures and that we examine the entirety of their impact on the world.
Total disgrace! This so called college is overrated to begin with.
To the Board of Trustees of Princeton Hang Your Heads in Shame! Are you folks in the Real World ? Certainly time for you all to be Replaced ASAP! Certainly recommend that funding by Financial Donors stop Immediately! This is a University of Higher Learning that just lost its way
This is not about Racist anymore! That’s CRAZY!!👎
That’s Crazy
Crazy
What’s next..?..Edit all the textbooks and online teaching and also remove Wilson’s name from all..and this is what you pay big $$$ for to get so-called education and degree at Princeton..!!?
Wilson was a racist. Two problems: America has been a racist country, a racist and supremacist country racially and religiously; it has been the nature of its culture except for flickers of anything else. 2) It's easy to correct people by hiding their name or likeness afterward.
Call me when you get to Yale.
Isn't he the guy who founded the League of Nations, the forerunner to the UN. If you choose to get rid of WW, take the UN as well.
Sad events, erasing history
Stop the craziness. You cannot erase history. It does not achieve anything. Wilson was a great President. He was flawed if he held racist views, but that’s in the context of his time. Things have evolved since then.
What about the black racist and monuments..white people are not the only racists..
Why don’t we go back under British rule while we are at it
Is there any historical figure who is w/out sin? I'm sure that some of the names some people would choose are people that other people would object to bc of something that THEY did. No one is completely perfect. Wilson did a lot of good in the world&that should be remembered.
Yale University right about now...
He was another racist Democrat, they are dropping like flies. Good think blackface is ok now or they would loose a govenor....
Here’s a tip. Instead of naming things after humans, who always seem to leave some sort of shit stain, why not choose the names of animals like sports teams, who at least seem to appreciate the decency of natural selection?😜
Some schools are really foolish, all schools should add 'Knowing the Chinese Communist Party' and ' Radical Islamic' their evilness in all our curriculums so that Americans won't be fooled by these two ideologies.
Excellent
Let's do the Chinese model now and get it over with. Remove ALL names on everything and replace them with numbers. Remove every monument and statue in all public squares. Remove all picture of everyone being honored no matter what the honor from all government public buildings.
GOOD now they need to get rid of the Masters Degree.
America has been starting a toppling-statue civilization revolution, the first step to pursue an equality human society.
Seriously. This is starting to sound like Andy Berkowitz.
LMFAO hilarious
I am less forgiving of Wilson, though like all men because of the time period. Washington owned slaves, as did Jefferson, but it was legal. Wilson was knew his ideas were wrong. He also segregated the Federal Government. His policies were the foundation for the Civil Rights Mvt
I am ethnically Japanese and, whilst I believe that both those inside and outside the University should respect the decision, this kind of thing might, err... I stop. I am not qualified to offer any opinions on the matter.
Why not take all presidents name off all buildings
Of course another Democrat President. Keep it up and there won't be any Democrats left In the history books. So the Democrat party can continue to keep all of you people as slaves And you'll never be able to figure out how you Lost all your rights.
Ethnic cleansing usually starts with blaming then demonising then persecuting then... history is a good guide as to the rest of the process.
Replace toppled confederate statues with ones of my father, says Trump Jr.
Now do this Yale.
So sad
Wow
✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼
These mother fuckers think the same way about Trump. They view him as a slavery owner bc they have been brainwashed. The Nazis are completely batshit crazy & will do anything Hollywood or the media tells them to do.
Hey ABC.... Did you know Woodrow P. Wilson is entombed at Columbia University? ......fun factoid of the day
Woodrow Wilson is also cause a mass problem around 1917 when his folks told the LIRR and the BRT to stop operating join train service to Queens in the Rockaways
La junta de síndicos de la Universidad de Princeton votó el sábado para eliminar el nombre de Woodrow Wilson de la Escuela de Asuntos Públicos e Internacionales para las 'políticas y pensamiento racista' del 28 ° presidente.
Liberal mindset is a joke!
What was so bad about what he did? It worked
Lol, champion of the left gets his name removed.
