Current Events > So apparently Yale was named after a slave trader

(+) Yeah! (+)

Lol at working your butt off to get selected to go to a school named after a slave trader.

Ryerson University in Toronto was named after the guy who designed Residential Schools.

Not sure if this started by bitter right wingers or not:

But it is still true.

I went to Yale and I would love it if they change the name. It would piss off a ton of alumni lol

the same alumni who threatened to withhold donations after yale was dubbed the "gay ivy," after the whiffenpoofs allowed women to join, after Black students were allowed to join secret societies, etc. etc.

Well it appears rightwingers like Ann Coulter are trolling on twitter with #cancelyale, except it has been known the man was a slave trader long before this and leftists are agreeing.

This is like if there was a stache of secret nazi statues and some dudes were like, "oh, you smashed all the other nazi statues but not these!? Hypocrites!"

Lol, hope Yale has to change the name.
