Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson protesters are making one good point
Princeton University protesters have a case when they say that Woodrow Wilson's name should be removed from school property and programs because he was a racist. But there's a catch to their cause.
Not only do the students want Wilson's name and portrait be expunged, but they also want a special cultural space on campus dedicated to black students. So while they hold a legitimate qualm with Wilson re-instituting segregation as President of the United States, they're now calling for another form of it. Sounds like a double-standard to me.
If we're going to start cleansing history, where do we stop? With Wilson, or beyond? When does American history start to become acceptable.
Let me know what you think of their protest. Tweet me at @nj1015 and @BillSpadea to continue the discussion.
