Because they were allegedly racists? Gill, Avery, Benton, and one other I forgot. Madness. Where the hell does it end? Hopefully on his desk.

I'm not doubting the question, just wondering if you've found a good summary of the potential issues. It was a very brief article in the actual paper newspaper. Yes, I'm old school. I'll look for it. |

I think we should rename them, just as soon as we take all the slave owning people off our money. We would need to rename not only the state to the north of us but also the nations capital. There are monuments all over this country that would need to be removed, wonder what they would do with Mt. Rushmore. How about all the counties, cities, schools, parks, etc. that we would have to rename.
People should only be judged against the norms, good or bad, of the time they lived in.
Arnold dining center is the other one.
Do a little research and you'll find that initial report came from the rag whose name I'll not utter, based on a report by a couple of high school kids. Just another case of that paper going after OSU.

So Hitler should only be judged against the norms of Germany from 1933 to 1945? I think it's good that we have an open discussion about the real people that we honor with buildings in their names. I lived in Wilson Hall at OSU. For all I knew it could have been named after Mr Wilson of Dennis the Menace. Shouldn't the University be the place for discussion and debate? |
