I find this movement on renaming repulsive and inappropriate for a university with history and philosophy departments, as well as art academicians. Most saints did not have impeccable behavior records, and I daresay that most “great” leaders (especially those with many statues in their “honor”) were somewhat narcissistic at best, and psychopaths all too often. Put things in context and stop this black-and-white inquisition. I wish Martin Luther King were around to straighten out his pretentious disciples.
