    I seem to remember this was how Faubus Connor Forrest Legree, Bowie Crockett and Travis Until We Name Colleges After Them Billiards and Video Arcade with Bookstore and Metro Route Maps was changed to the UC at U of H.

    Before having an anti-woke stroke I'm trying to remember if any other schools or colleges changed or expanded their names after originally being named after Washington.

    The controversial Winston Churchill Library must go. The university’s contentious colonial moniker must go. Even the university’s name, mascot and motto — “Hail Thee George Washington”— must be replaced. The hypocrisy of GW in not addressing these issues is an example of how Black voices and Black grievances go ignored and highlights the importance of strong Black leadership.

    Changing the name won’t increase the Black enrollment there which is what he’s not happy about. It’s 10 percent. His logic doesn’t make sense. This university is not a HBCU

    Furthermore, and most importantly, the choice to ignore Francois would reinforce the significance of George Washington. It is only because of people like George Washington that Francois even has the right to publish such America-hating nonsense in the first place.
