The scandalous hypocrisy has gone on for too long! From MSN.com:
Note: While Harvard Law uses the term “Veritas” on their racist badge, we deny any association with their racist heritage past or as currently transformed
Why some students say Harvard Law School’s crest is ‘a source of shame’
The crest of Harvard Law School displays three sheaves of wheat, arranged on a shield. The design is also the coat-of-arms for Isaac Royall Jr., who through his estate helped found the school.
Another part of Royall’s legacy, however, is that he was a slaveholder. . . . some students are now calling attention to the crest, according to the Harvard Crimson. The student newspaper reports that a small group has set up a Facebook group and is looking to do more — including advocating for the crest’s removal.
“These symbols set the tone for the rest of the school and the fact that we hold up the Harvard crest as something to be proud of when it represents something so ugly is a profound disappointment and should be a source of shame for the whole school,” law student Alexander J. Clayborne told the newspaper.
Of course the irony is delicious, Harvard being a preeminent liberal bastion that cranks out lawyers many of whom are advocates for such BS (and we don’t mean the degree). Reap what you sow.
But if this catches on, a good investment would be screen printing companies. Looking into this as part of investment due diligence we see that twelve U.S. Presidents held slaves, eight of them while they were President. Think of the print needs necessitated by having to change all manner of college and university logos!
Think of all the colleges, universities and other institutions named after George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Martin VanBuren, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, James Polk, Zachary Taylor, Andrew Johnson, and Ulysses S. Grant?
Why a prominent political party we are aware of has long made two of them shining light namesakes for many of their activities. But we digress.
Any liberal claiming a good conscience who now attends or previously was part of any institution named after one of those Presidents or any other slaveholder, or gives credence to anyone who does or has should be ashamed. It is no different than failing to repudiate it or having anything to do with an institution named “Adolf Hitler U” or “Pol Pot” College.
Liberals should realize that their education in tainted. And anyone who ever received aid from such institutions must know that they received tainted money. Indeed we agree with the spirit and logic of the University of Missouri football players and coaches protesting on-campus racism there — shut the racist institution down until you get what you want.
