Any person who listens to the “will of teenagers” should be fired.

I’m sure if his ancestors looked at him they’d be disheartened too

More evidence that we don’t need publicly funded universities in this state not named LSU, ULL, La Tech or UNO

Asked what names on campus were the most concerning, Black Student Union President Trang Tran and Vice President Arrington Blanchard chuckled.

“All of them,” they said.


Ummmm

ETA So a group of only 70 students want things changed?

Who cares? It’s not like Nichols is a real school with tradition or anything like that.

The school and town are most known for a football “passing academy”.

You didn’t know this sh*t until after you applied, enrolled and paid tuition?

This is the kind of person who is in awe of an amateur magician pulling a quarter from behind someone's ear....


They keep looking for the "magic bullet" that will change their zhitty lives forever, without DARE looking inside themselves for the REAL cause of their perpetual misery.

They are worried about street and building names when the whole damned place is named after Francis T. Nicholls.

I'm sure one day "Tigers" will be offensive. F'king already renamed Raphael Semmes Avenue.

ULL


There was a time in the 1990's where a certain segment of their student body was offended by "Ragin' Cajuns." I had the misfortune of having one of these guys in my Navy Reserve unit.

Do any of y'all remember this?

This did not have the effect for which the members of this team were hoping.

ETA: Can I say I'm offended by the concept of publicly funded HBCUs, and why are they immune from the chopping block like any other public university?

Sure, but this place would collectively lose its shite if a building was named after Shaun King or someone else who hates/hated whites.
