#1 these asshats need to read their history and if they actually sacrificed more than George Washington, well good for them but I highly doubt they even come close, they need to de deported really!

#2 The church leaders in this case are being cowards and hypocrites. If Washington and his ilk attended this facility, then the taint and the invisible stain of shame can never be remedied by removing mere plaques. The church itself must be raised to the ground. All evidence of its very existence must be erased. The purity of personkind must be preserved.

#3 Let's pull down the Malcom X signs and statues. He met with the KKK.

#4 I'm very much afraid it won't end without (massive) violence.

The "violence" has already arrived. It's somewhat localized so far.

#6 These forefathers through a Great Faith in a Higher Good fought against the slavery of tyranny and high taxation of a crown thereby ushering in s movement that lead to the abolishment of slavery around the world and gave us an industrial revolution that lead mankind to great prosperity. THIS is what the evil on the left finds frightening.

#8 Past time to call out these vermin for what they are. Traitors. Strip their citizenship and deport them to Devil's Island.

#9 Pushback:

No one should have to pass someone else’s ideological purity test to be allowed to speak. University life — along with civic life — dies without the free exchange of ideas.

In the face of intimidation, educators must speak up, not shut down. Ours is a position of unique responsibility: We teach people not what to think, but how to think.

Realizing and accepting this has made me — an eminently replaceable, untenured, gay, mixed-race woman with PTSD — realize that no matter the precariousness of my situation, I have a responsibility to model the appreciation of difference and care of thought I try to foster in my students.

If I, like so many colleagues nationwide, am afraid to say what I think, am I not complicit in the problem?

At Reed and nationwide, we have largely stayed silent, probably hoping that this extremist moment in campus politics eventually peters out. But it is wishful thinking to imagine that the conversation will change on its own. It certainly won’t change if more voices representing more positions aren’t added to it. . . . Nuance and careful reasoning are not the tools of the oppressor.

#10 The "violence" has already arrived.

It is one sided so far.

#13 I'll bet it's Marx worshipping though.

#14 Marx appears to be the god of death (at least according to the 20th Century body count).
