Black Lives Matter activists at Princeton University have taken over the president’s office and say they won’t leave until the school acknowledges former U.S. president Woodrow Wilson as a racist and renames all buildings currently honoring him on campus.

Members of a group calling themselves the Black Justice League walked out of their classes late Wednesday morning and assembled at Nassau Hall, where they were met by Princeton president Christopher Eisgruber. The students presented a list of demands inspired by similar lists that have been seen at Yale University, the University of Missouri, and elsewhere.

“WE DEMAND the university administration publicly acknowledge the racist legacy of Woodrow Wilson and how he impacted campus policy and culture,” the students’ demands say. “We also demand that steps be made to rename Wilson residential college, the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy and International Affairs, and any other building named after him. Furthermore, we would like the mural of Wilson to be removed from Wilcox Dining Hall.”

Missouri really fricked up by giving in to these race baiters.

Set a terrible precedent for the rest of the universities

Good for them.

Hopefully they can also 'Out' the current and former Klan members amongst the Administration, Board of Regents and governing politicians too.

Nothing screams discrimination like being admitted to a $40,000/semester Ivy League college.

Woodrow fricking Wilson? This reminds me of the list of demands Hans Gruber made up in Die Hard.

Taze them all if they refuse to leave. Someone is gonna have to be a martyr here.

Also, the token whites...don't you have mid-terms to be studying for?

Thanks Mizou...I wish now we'd kick them out of the SEC.

All these administrators are just enablers, total weak arse leadership skills and let a bunch of complete candy asses walk all over them or force them to voluntarily give up their job. Mizzou set a snowball rolling for the future avalanche

What are their bargaining chips? They have no weight.
