So private institution and all that.

That said, there are plenty of college students who's families are wealthy and conservative.

Where do they donate/send their kids?

I would love to have that. I'd find somewhere in the house to display it.

My Dutch/German ancestor was killed in an Indian raid on the settlement by the Indians. Do I get back his scalp?

phew...glad they let us know which was the Puritan and which was the Native American. I may not have figured that one out.

And how come nobody's all upset about the Native American, left, pointing his bow at the Puritan, right? Maybe the Purita, right, was just defending himself from the Native American, left.

Are they going to pretend that their Puritan ancestors didn't fight a savage war of annihilation against the Indians?

I don't know Yale well, but I do know the Harvard community. Older families are reconsidering their options. They've stopped donating and their sending their children to other schools.

In yet another stroke of irony, these modern progressives have embraced the puritanical spirit of the figure in that carving. It's like irony follows these people around.
