Silver linings
Of course, it wasn't Wilson's racist thinking that was the problem, it was his globalism:
Princeton has stripped the name of 28th President Woodrow Wilson from a college and public policy school due to his 'racist thinking.'That's quite the responsibility for the alumni, given the obligations imposed upon them. It's got to be exhausting standing firmly against racism in all its forms every day.
Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber announced on Saturday the institution will remove Wilson's name from its public policy school and a residential college.
'On my recommendation, the board voted to change the names of both the School of Public and International Affairs and Wilson College,' Eisgruber said in a statement.
He added: 'the trustees concluded that Woodrow Wilson's racist thinking and policies make him an inappropriate namesake for a school or college whose scholars, students, and alumni must stand firmly against racism in all its forms.'

I am a bit conflicted yes Wilson was evil for getting us involved in WW1 and his promotion of globalism, but his condemnation wasn't for the right reason.
I watched a Mike Rowe interview earlier today where he talked about how moving class lectures to an online format made a class that would cost thousands free of charge - this will be the future for learning. This and all of these recent rumblings over "racism" makes me wonder if the university bubble is about to burst.
Eisgruber? Or (((Eisgruber?)))
My nose smells a (nose)...
But... but... He Kept Us Out of War.
I think it's terrific they've removed Wilson's name. Of course they're doing it to genuflect to the nonwhite minions, but traitors are worse than open enemies, and Wilson was a globalist traitor. In a conflict of White vs. nonwhite, I will side with the White. In a conflict between a GoodWhite or a Globalist and a nonwhite, I will aim for the traitor first. Besides, mourning cultural symbols based on a fictitious history of the country when one's entire race is openly slated for removal is a cart/horse issue.
At least recent events finally tie down that lingering uncertainty from Planet of the Apes about how the Statue of Liberty came down.
Wilson was born in 1856, and therefore inescapably was "racist." I wonder why we don't drive the name of anyone born before 1946 or so. The 60s being the time when we suddenly decided adults should be not racist.
I don't wonder anymore. Because there's no rationale to the PC blacklisting craze. The commissars flail around, tethered only to fashion and their fickle emotions.
Plus, there's the joy of dangling the sword over people's heads. Even the dead tend to stay in line when they don't know when it might fail.

Remind every Karen that they consciously chose to live in a "good" school district.
Ironically until this year, liberals treated him like a progressive god. He oversaw the creation of the income tax, promoted the Constitution as a "living document" subject the whimsical alteration by current events, promoted big government, and created the first globalist institution in the form of the League of Nations. I guess like all their heroes, even Wilson has feet of clay.
it's interesting that all these white trustees and boards and chairpersons have not resigned their positions and appointed a born-righteous POC in their place.
Perhaps they're putting off that sacrifice to the father of all lies until the grand finale?
End the Fed.
Yet another example of what happens when nations begin to collapse and abondon God. Their own crowning achievements and places of higher thinking become less sane then the average Joe on the street looking for his next fix.

Lemme guess: The Rayshard Brooks School of Public and International Affairs, and George Floyd College.
Are they going to rename it the George Floyd School of Public Policy?
@4 - Expect a backlash against this soon, as the "culture" of "disadvantaged students" denies them the discipline and focus necessary to complete an essentially self-directed course of study. Online classes also rely heavily on testing, which is racist and evil in and of itself.
Besides, imagine the cost of constantly replacing all those gov-issued "free" computers that get traded for liquor, guns, and heroin.
@7 - "Good schools or good ally?!" is a conundrum that causes many sleepless nights in gated communities.
"It's got to be exhausting standing firmly against racism in all its forms every day."
... especially when one has to constantly invent new forms of racism against which to stand.

Don't worry that his condemnation was not for the right reason, let the dead bury the dead. Since Woodrow-(the worst President in American history)-Wilson was one of the preeminent figures that entrenched progressivism into America's political structure, this is the part where Frankenstein's Monster finally bashes Dr. Frankenstein over the head with a meat clever. Watch and enjoy.
(I haven't read the book, I'm just imagining that's how it Frankenstein ends)
Maybe the Princeton President thinks that if her virtue signals so HUGE they will name a building after him?
Eisgruber Dining Hall? Then, the students can say they got their grub at Eisgrub!!
The amount of quality free and low-cost online learning content has rendered the existing education model obsolete.
The only dedicated facilities required are large, well-funded labs where STEM learners can go to conduct experiments and research.

Not to mention signing onto the Federal Reserve System. People with PhD's tend to overestimate their own intelligence and awareness, especially outside of their specialization,* and hence, tend to be the easiest to fool. They're also tend to be among the easiest to hypnotize and then blatantly lie to.
* MD's being the absolute worst -- collectively they have the absolute worst record in civil aviation, because they think they know more about landing at any airport than the guys in the control tower who work there every day.
Here is someone we can all get behind in eliminating ALL his legacy.
