As predicted, LSU gave them an inch and now they want their mile.

Now that Confederate names have been stripped from one LSU street and two buildings are slated to be torn down, a coalition of student groups wants to change the names on two of the more prominent buildings on the Baton Rouge campus.
Renew LSU on Friday filed the official papers requesting that university administrators change the name of Murphy J. Foster Hall, which sits near the bell tower and is home of the Museum of Natural History.
The group will watch how that renaming process works, then will set its sites on changing the name of the John M. Parker Agricultural Coliseum, said Savanah Dickinson, a spokeswoman for the student coalition.
“Murphy J. Foster and John Parker weren’t Confederates but they weren’t the most savory of individuals and certainly not worthy of such high profile recognition on the LSU campus,” Dickinson said.
Renew LSU is a coalition student groups, including the LSU chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers, the LSU Student Government Senate, the Black Leadership Council, the Clarence Barney African American Cultural Center, the Society of African and African American Studies and the LSU chapter of Zeta Phi Beta sorority. Their aim is to have LSU better reflect the diverse student population.

Let's all thank Bob Mann for our beautiful university being turned into a shitty, SJW school.

So about 1% of the total LSU student population?

I’m creating a group that wants to rename buildings too.
I want to name them after WWII heroes.

Remember when this all started last year, they were all, "We just want to remove a couple of statues."
Look what that's become.
You can't give an inch to these progressive fricks.

John Parker, per Wikipedia:
Sounds like a progressive for his time. He must have groped a secretary or something.

I remember when they marched around protesting pg confederate flags during tailgating.
That went over really well for them
