Woodrow Wilson deserves all the opprobrium being heaped on him. Far from being a great president, he was an unabashed racist who re-segregated the U.S. civil service and thought the wrong side had won the civil war. Both his writings and contemporary reporting verify that.

I think it's inappropriate to judge a historical figure by today's standards "Washington and Jefferson owned slaves, so all the great things they did must be erased." It is quite another to judge a historical figure by standards existing when the person was alive, and by that measure Wilson fails.

I don't think a lot of people on this thread really "get it". The times they are a changing and it's about time! Little things mean a lot.

Your post is satire ?

I would think that those who applaud Gov. Murphy's "bold" move would wish to re-locate to the state of New Jersey where they could live in peace and harmony under the leadership of such a benevolent lockdown despot. It seems to me to be hypocritical to sacrifice principle for just a few rays of sunshine.
