When have we reached the absurd and ridiculous.

Yale University was named for Elihu Yale. You will be quite surprised to find out about his character but yet the elitist have a university named after him.

Harvard And Princeton have a shocking history of its University presidents. Michelle Obama and Sonia Sotomeyer are alumni, are they in favor slavery for going to an institution who’s presidents were slave owners.

Columbia University is named for Christopher Columbus, we all know how “horrible” a person he was.

Cornell University was named for Ezra Cornell, a Quaker. We are told they are evil.

Dartmouth named for William Legge, 2nd earl of Dartmouth. He promoted the career of a notorious slave trader into the Anglican ministry.

Brown University named for Nicholas Brown, Jr. who was an adamant defender of slavery.

I’m waiting for them to protest and remove the names.
