And when the light is cast upon these situations, the universities back down because they're so embarrassed.
And the newspapers, because newspapers depend on the First Amendment in order to exist, newspapers tend to give pretty good publicity to these cases of censorship.
So they grill the universities.
Yes.
Sunshine is the best disinfectant.
I believe that universities...
If somebody wants to, for example, donate to a university and donates on the requirement that the building be named after them, if the university is taking donations and the person is funding a building and wants the building named after them,
The building should be named after him, her, or them.
Harvard is facing this now with the Sackler building because the Sacklers have become now a persona non grata because of their role in producing the opioids that caused the huge scandalous opioid addiction.
There are people who want to remove the name Sackler from the Sackler Art Museum at Harvard.
Larry Bacow, the president of Harvard, to his credit, has refused to do that.
And if it reminds people that the money was earned through selling opioids, that's good.
That's good that people understand that that's where the Sacklers got their money.
They should be reminded.
In my undergraduate alma mater, Princeton, there's a movement to remove the name Woodrow Wilson because Woodrow Wilson was president of Princeton before he became governor of New Jersey, before he became president of the United States.
How he got to be governor of New Jersey was he was so insufferable that the trustees of Princeton got him the nomination to run for governor of New Jersey.
They had said, we got to get this guy out of here.
And...
not because he was anti-black and anti-Semitic, as the trustees were as well, but because he just was insufferable.
He drove the faculty crazy, and they got him out.
