Virginia college may nix wasp mascot, fearing tie to 'White Anglo-Saxon Protestants'
|
[WASHINGTONTIMES] Emory & Henry College in Virginia has announced to students the school will re-examine its wasp mascot. Why? The bug may appear "exclusive" to students who are not White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, or "WASPs."
While a public outcry over racism continues around the nation, the college is already concerned that its two historical namesakes — Methodist Episcopal Church bishop John Emory and founding father Patrick Henry — were slave holders. The school mascot has also come under scrutiny.
"Conversations must examine how Emory & Henry’s past has contributed to current and ongoing systemic oppression," said Dr. John Wells, president of Emory & Henry College, according to the email obtained by Young America’s Foundation.
