Disturbing and disgusting. The left-wing cancel culture is at it again.
If we’re consistent, we must remove all mention of Martin Luther King because of his rampant womanizing. In light of the #MeToo Movement we must expunge his hateful memory and stop observing a holiday for him.
These same arguments are used against George Washington, who was a greater man than any snowflake alive today.
Not that I’m a huge fan of Stephen Douglas, but is the whole Old University of Chicago tainted–to remove the stone?
While the claim that the Old and New University of Chicago were seamlessly the same institution is questionable, nonetheless, this link is interesting:

From its founding, the University of Chicago was unique among the nation’s top universities in its willingness to allow students of color and women to pursue advanced studies. Between 1870 and 1940, 45 African American students were granted PhDs, more than at any other institution in the nation. In the first decade of the 20th century alone, nine African Americans earned undergraduate degrees, while five more earned graduate degrees.
So now this progressive institution is treated as racist and its memory must be wiped out.
Zimmer is as bad as the silly, shrieking Social Justice Warriors that infest campus.
