Speaking of more campus lunacy, has anyone noticed the PC tidal wave of trying to rename Insitutions, buildings, and even streets adjacent to campuses, where the name in question was apparently acting politically incorrect, decades, if not centuries ago? Notice also other names that would also be considered to have been politically incorrect, but because they perfoemed some acts that would be liberal leaning, they get a pass.
Example: Brown University changed its Columbus Day celebration to Indigenous People's Day & Stanford students have demanded the renaming of buildings, malls and streets bearing the name of the recently canonized Junipero Serra, an 18th-century Franciscan priest who was often unkind to American Indians. And yet, San Diego State University students are not demanding that the school eliminate its nickname, "Aztecs," even though the Aztecs enslaved and slaughtered tens of thousands of people from tribes they conquered. Nor is there any demand by UC Berkeley students and faculty in the renaming of Warren Hall, named after California Attorney General Earl Warren, who instigated the wartime internment of tens of thousands of innocent Japanese-American citizens
President Woodrow Wilson was a racist who, among other racist acts, segregated civil service jobs. Should Princeton University rename its Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs plus rename its Woodrow Wilson fellowship program?
Our military has a number of deadly aircraft named with what the nation's leftist might consider racial slights, such as the Comanche, Apache, Iroquois, Kiowa, Lakota and the more peaceful Mescalero. Should they be renamed? Our military might also be seen as disrespecting the rights and dignity of animals. Should military death-dealing aircraft named after peace-loving animals -- such as the Eagle, Falcon, and Dolphin be renamed?
