Students at a small Pennsylvania college are demanding that administrators rename a building called “Lynch Memorial Hall'' because of the racial overtones of the word “lynch.''

Might as well kill all the people with the last name Lynch because they are clearly racist

lmao.

I feel sorry for everybody with the surname of Lynch out there. Soon, they will have to have "trigger warning" on their drivers licenses.

Next they will want to ban the wearing any garment with cotton content on campus because of the material's connection with slavery.

Do they realize that far more white people were killed by nooses than any other people? Probably all other Races combined.

The college deserves it, they're the ones that accepted the fools' applications.

Interesting comment from the article:

quote:


Kristen Eberhardt · Lifeguard at Lebanon Valley College
AS A STUDENT WHO ATTENDS LEBANON VALLEY COLLEGE
i am 100% disgusted with this "Movement"
and so is the other 95% of the campus. None of the students want the name of Lynch Memorial Hall changed. We understand it is a name, and it by no means is meant to remind people of the horrible acts that happened in the past.
However, these demands have been placed by a very small group of students on campus, who feel "marginalized." Now let me tell you, these are the same group of students that call me a "color blind racist" when I aknowledge them as a person/friend, instead of by the color of their skin. They contradict themselves to no end, demanding they are treated equally, and yet demanding at the same time the college has to change the names of buil. And speaking for the rest of the campus, I have never witnessed any racist event on this campus, ever. I personally am sick of this movement on campus, and really wish these select FEW (were talking maximum of 30 kids) who want the name of Lynch Memorial Hall changed would just stop. Theyre painting themselves in a highly negative light, and now its portraying the college in a negative light as well. It is over the top, and I feel ashamed to be associated with the college at this moment.

They should demand anyone named Lynch change their name as well. Probably anyone with the last name Black too. Jack Black should be ashamed. And anyone with the last name White should have to recognize their White privelege, it's even in their name

Each school should have a triggered-rorschach test to administer with every application. As soon as the trigger starts, politely decline.

Saw that. Their petition of 15 names should really make an impact.

Isn't there a building at LSU named "darkies can't use my water fountain goddammit hall"? I wonder if they'll want that one changed as well.
