USC will remove the John Wayne exhibit

Students and alumni began protesting the exhibit last fall, with one banner reading "by keeping Wayne’s legacy alive, SCA is endorsing white supremacy."
USC’s School of Cinematic Arts will remove its John Wayne exhibit after months of students and alumni protesting keeping such a tribute to the actor endorsed white supremacy. Protests over the exhibit followed resurfaced racist comments by the actor in a 1971 Playboy magazine interview.
The removal of the exhibit, dedicated to the actor who attended the university and played football in the 1920s, was announced Friday by Evan Hughes, the assistant dean of diversity and inclusion.
"Conversations about systemic racism in our cultural institutions along with the recent global, civil uprising by the Black Lives Matter Movement require that we consider the role our School can play as a change maker in promoting antiracist cultural values and experiences. Therefore, it has been decided that the Wayne Exhibit will be removed."

The elimination of this position should be required to receive any federal funding

Where are all the people who swore that this was only about Confederate statues? When you allow people to go down that road, you should've known they'd never stop.

Conversations about systemic racism
I'm curious where these "conversations" are taking place.
Most of what I've seen is agree with me systemic racism exists are you must be destroyed for denying it.
