University president Christopher Eisgruber said in a letter to the school community Saturday that the board of trustees had concluded that “Wilson’s racist views and policies make him an inappropriate namesake” for Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs and the residential college.

Eisgruber said the trustees decided in April 2016 on some changes to make the university “more inclusive and more honest about its history” but decided to retain Wilson’s name, but revisited the issue in light of the recent killings of George Floyd and others.




If you think this is about race.... it's not. Nothing is safe at this point.

It makes sense. Woodrow Wilson absolutely HATED George Floyd.

Old books will be taken off Amazon
Old movies no longer streamable.
Old statues all removed
Town and county names changed.

They are going for a total Year Zero Revolution. They are ANTI-WHITE.

No problem with this. Wilson was a Grade A Jackass.

I used to think that was kind of a ridiculous idea but the more I thought about it, the more it didn't seem far fetched.

All they really have to do is make old information really hard to access and they can achieve their goals. In an electronic age, its really not that difficult.

This is where a real government would step in and say "you don't have the right to censor our nation's art and history". Not "hurr durr private company do whatever"

So FDR is safe? He is a democrat right?
So are the hundreds of places named after Grand Wizard Robert Byrd?

Does anyone ever think Democrats will notice they're removing Democrats from history, or is that just the plan?

Well they teach kids now that the parties "switched" at some point and that these are right wingers.

No one will ever answer me on when this switch actually happened or name any politicians that switched parties.

This is actually one that DOES make sense racially. Wilson had a horrific track record on race - including basically purging black workers from the civil service.
