[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess if Princeton can take Woodrow Wilson's name off of its famed IR school,  then Capitol Hill Day School should be able to sandblast a local bigot's name off of its building.[/quote]

Wilson should be pulled out of the Cathedral and buried upside down amongst Union soldiers at Arlington.  [/quote]

I couldn't believe that Wilson is entombed in the National Cathedral. I just looked it up and it's true.  That's so fuc(ed up. [/quote]

Criticizing a 1924 interment with 2024 eyes.

Sounds productive.[/quote]

A crappy president,  in addition to being a rabid racist.  Kick him out of the cathedral and bury whatever is left someplace more appropriate. [/quote]

Yes, very productive to spend a lot of money doing that.

There’s nowhere else that money could be better spent in 2024, right?[/quote]

Cost would be minimal to properly get the remains out of the cathedral and into a cemetery.  Would need a couple of workers to open the truly odd marble tomb that sits by a side altar in the cathedral.  Then bury them in a cemetery. Minimal cost and big improvement to the cathedral.

For CHDS, removing the name from the building would likely be a few hundred dollars.

Getting rid of Jim Crow remnants takes determination,  not money.[/quote]
