Is it time for the conservatives to get woke yet?
We just going to continue to let this happen?

A university in New Jersey will strip Woodrow Wilson's name from a campus building because of the "racist policies" he supported while president.
Monmouth University announced on Friday that it would remove Wilson's name from one of the most prominent buildings on campus after university trustees voted four years ago to allow the name to stay.
"The context has changed," university president Patrick Leahy told the New York Times. "Wilson was a controversial politician, and I think it has heightened awareness in 2020 about some of his racist policies."
Wilson, who was the president of the United States during World War I, served as governor of New Jersey and a president of nearby Princeton University before being elected president. Princeton's board of trustees voted in 2016 to keep Wilson's name on campus buildings.
Historians have argued about whether Wilson, a Democrat, was a white supremacist as he appointed several segregationists as heads of various departments throughout the executive branch. Hettie Williams, an assistant professor of African-American history at Monmouth, recommended the campus remove his name from the campus building.

Well, he was another Democrat racist,even by the very loose standards of the day. If his name is to be remembered it should be on a Wall of Shame which would be filled with Democrat slavers, lynchers, and white supremacist. The Democrats need to denounce their evil racist leaders. Exposing the evil of their party makes me extra proud to be a member of the party of liberty, the Republican party

Woodrow Wilson reignited the klan. If you take the historical curve out of the equation, he’s still our single most racist President we’ve ever had. Yes, even more racist than the slave holding Presidents. Woodrow Wilson ruined this country to unbelievable degree. Besides Buchanan, he is our worst President and we’re living in that cocksuckers world right now. Easily the most underrated President in terms of negative influence. The only thing this mother fricker did worth a shite is denounce the Treaty of Versailles, which Britain and France ignored. He’s a historical villain and should be treated as such.

So true, though possibly worse than Buchanan.

Woodrow Wilson was the first President to learn that when you increase taxes on the 'rich' you get much less revenue. It was his 'Well, shite!' moment.
Dems have learned nothing from this.

He did have a stroke and basically spent his last 2 years in bed while his wife took care of the Presidential duties.

Democrat, white supremacist. One and the same. Dems have always been the party of racist.

You see anyone in a position to do something standing up and taking charge?
Brees did ... for a few hours.

Universities are mostly lost now. I guess we are going to have to lose our freedoms before those who remain pick up the pieces and fight for them. Can't even trust the Supreme Court to do what is constitutional any more.

Woodrow Wilson was an absolutely shitty president. Conservatives should be rejoicing that his name is gone.
The idea that every single president has to have things named after themselves is silly to me.

I guess supporting the 19th amendment counts for nothing.
On September 30, 1918, President Woodrow Wilson gives a speech before Congress in support of guaranteeing women the right to vote. Although the House of Representatives had approved a 19th constitutional amendment giving women suffrage, the Senate had yet to vote on the measure.

Is it because he was President when women got the right to vote?
