Princeton University's board votes to remove the name of former US President Woodrow Wilson from the university's School of Public and International Affairs due to his 'racist thinking and policies.'

What was Wilson College will now be called First College, while the public affairs school will be known as The Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.

"Wilson’s racism was significant and consequential even by the standards of his own time. He segregated the federal civil service after it had been racially integrated for decades, thereby taking America backward in its pursuit of justice. He not only acquiesced in but added to the persistent practice of racism in this country, a practice that continues to do harm today," the president wrote.

The university had already planned to close Wilson College and retire the name as it builds two new residential colleges but decided the course of action would be to accelerate the retirement of the name.that"Princeton is doing the right thing by firmly separating itself from the Woodrow Wilson legacy."

In a second tweet, he posted a screenshot of a quote from the racist film,"Birth of a Nation," in which Wilson praised the Ku Klux Klan. Princeton University announced an hour ago that it is stripping Woodrow Wilson’s name from its public policy school and residential college. Here’s a Wilson quotation that appeared in “Birth of a Nation,” which President Wilson had screened at White House:

Joe Biden has plenty of racist statements in his past

Another Racist Dem, Pres Wilson, is now personna non grata to the faculties who seek to curry favor with the New Brood of Communists that just came of age These f'n people will say anything, do anything & eat their own These same Educators will be eaten by the mob they created

Proof ppl...you need to demand proof when a left wing news firm hurls charges at a president. the article does not detail any. Makes you wonder what/how classes are taught. Wonder what would happen if 'the mob' said 'earth is flat'.

😂😂😂🙄

Now do Yale.

What about the Hoover building? If you weren’t WASP he screwed you and he was a liar and thief.

CancelYale

Pre-Civil Rights movement Democrat. FYI.

What's his criminal legacy?

What about TheWilsonCenter?

Are we getting rid of all of the former slave owners, who are on dollar bills?

Not THAT smart!

A typical racist Democrat. Do it. FDR should be next.

It's amazing that while the democrats are destroying racist relics of the past, they are planning to vote for one.

So what's going to happen to Yale?

What about Yale?

I’m sure one of the professors knew about that and went there everyday to admire it.

I think they want the impending violence.

It’s time to wipe away all racism. To hell with Trump’s band of cultists. Let them cry.

BLM and Antifa are a collection of fatherless cockroaches who blame other people for their own inadequacies and failures in life. There I said it.
