The Progressives eat their own

| No Comments

Fun to see - Woodrow Wilson was the OG Progressive - he was the first President to serve who believed in it and who started us down the road to centralized large world government. One of the worst Presidents ever - if he had not started the ball rolling, Obama could never have been elected.  The liberals (used to) love him. From Breitbart:

Princeton Removes Woodrow Wilson’s Name from Public Policy School Due to ‘Racist Thinking’
Princeton University is removing President Woodrow Wilson’s name from its public policy school and a residential college due to the former president’s “racist thinking.”

“The trustees conclude that Woodrow Wilson’s racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a school or college whose scholars, students, and alumni must firmly stand against racism in all its forms,” announced Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber on Saturday.

“Wilson’s racism was significant and consequential even by the standards of his own time,” added Eisgruber. “He segregated the federal civil service after it had been racially integrated for decades, thereby taking America backward in its pursuit of justice.”

The board voted on Friday to change the names of both the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and Wilson College.

Heh - during the terror of the French Revolution, ardent revolutionaries were frequently guillotined for some minor variation from rightthink. What goes around, comes around unless you learn and remember your history.
