The school's board of trustees said,"Wilson's racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake.

NOT ENOUGH!!! HIS EVERY PRESENCE AND MENTION MUST BE REMOVED FROM EVERYWHERE!!! Thus has CancelCulture ruled.

Why should they remove Woodrow Wilsons name, Woodrow Wilson was a Socialist. You and these idiots should support Woodrow.

Lol more shit-farting journalism from NPR. Go TMZ I mean NPR!

Democrats=panders to blacks for a vote=uses blacks= after vote forgets about them. Democrats=uses fear, chaos, division, anarchy, abuse, and lies! DEMOCRATS DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYBODY LET ALONE BLACK PEOPLE!!!!

Democrats= white supremacists Democrats= racism Democrats= Clinton/BIDEN/Pelosi 1994 crime laws putting droves of black men in prison. Democrats=leftist socialist/communist/ marxist ideology Democrats=MSM=spread lies and proganda that blacks are in danger in the US

Democrats=Slavery= murdering blacks Democrats=KKK=murdering blacks Democrats=Margaret Sanger=millions of blacks babies murdered Democrats=Jim Crow laws=murdering blacks Democrats= voted Against civil rights laws Democrats=LBJ= Great Society laws decimating the black communities.

Wasn't it oxymoronic to name a school of public policy after a man whose inability to compromise kept the US out of the League of Nations? It just made WWII happen sooner...which may or may not have been a good thing.

Ridiculous. Do not let the heat of the moment erase history. All people of fame and infamy have books, buildings, and yes statues erected in their name. They have supporters and detractors, but the history remains, the accomplishments remain, the mistakes and wrongs remain.

Are they removing all semblances of Karl Marx? Karl Marx once called a guy a Jewish N*gger and also said the Jews of Poland are “the smeariest of all races.” He wrote a book about the Jewish Question. But we like him right?

And burn all the history books.

George Floyd robbed a woman, put a gun to her stomach and broke into her house. We do not hold his past against him. Statues and murals are made in his honor. We must stop condemning & canceling those who have a sullied past history. No one is pure Learn Evolve CancelCulture
