[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't they teach logic in some PP's schools? Cleansing history does not equate to glorifying idiots via naming public institutions after them.

They aren not the same thing[/quote]

They taught us math. If you spend your money here, you no longer have it to spend there. They also taught us the meaning of the word hypocrisy. As in - don’t [b]kick out one of the few historically back PU’s zoned to your school [/b]and then want a cookie for changing a name. What’s in a name? Nothing. It means nothing, because we don’t live our values.[/quote]

Dude, one of the issues is that "historically black" neighborhood isn't really that way any longer. It's been gentrified, and while it's more diverse than many of the PU's that made the cut, it's hardly the worst thing they could've done in terms of diversity. Not the best, but not the worst either. They should still change the name. But maybe they can find different W-L people so that it's not as pricey a change. They can still be the "Generals," because who cares about whether the mascot makes sense. [/quote]
