who does it hurt that these kids gain some happiness

from not being constantly reminded of horrible shit in the past

Happiness? I don't care about their happiness

Sounds like it's between Yale and their students

Put them on a fucking boat back to Africa

All colleges receive federal funding

also, how many women computer scientists of renown can you name?

don't they deserve at least a bit of attention?

So build a new building and stick their name on it

Next thing, they will want to rewrite the past.

WAIT THEY ARE ALREADY DOING IT

build a whole new building for a name?

i'd be pretty impressed by a woman programmer

rewriting the past occurs daily

we constantly reinterpret the past

that isn't justine 'fat dong' tunney

Like until recently

we didn't even know hitler didn't do anything wrong

@Death Strike's Bat why don't you say this action is part of a broader strategy

You couldn't argue against a leftists

who defended this move

it is dude. they want to pretend the past didn't happen

based solely on what you said

but even better, we can find lefitsts with the same names as these people

Until it's in the lens of a wider attempt to denigrate certain things and raise certain others

and instill self-doubt in them

for purposeful, strategic destruction

but it's retarded, no one of that name is concerned

it's that specific figure that was being lauded

which they objected to

how is it retarded?

if they rename a building, they can rename themselves

prozak is just gonna throw us all out for sperging up his burlesque party

changing their name is simpler than prying off a plaque

The building is specifically named after the person.

if you have those names, you are named for those people

If someone was specifically named in honour of a certain person, maybe this argument could be made?

it would still be pretty weak

there are leftists named william unaware they have that name due to william the conqueror

The name of the building is a monument to the person

I'm sure they would be horrified.
