And so Princeton was thinking of changing the name.
I wrote a letter to President Eisgruber at Princeton saying, you know, this is part of the university's history.
You want to rewrite history falsely?
Woodrow Wilson was the president of this institution.
He was one of your predecessors.
He never answered me either.
I think these people, you know, they know they have no answer.
The reason I didn't get a response from President Eisgruber is the same as the reason I didn't get a response from the headmaster of Milton Academy.
They understand that what they're doing is violative of the fundamental precepts of academic institutions.
They're ashamed that they feel they have no choice because they feel that they would be criticized for racism, homophobia, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Criticized by how many people?
Well, they feel that they would be criticized by students and parents and donors.
I disagree with that.
I actually think there are more people out there that agree with me than agree with them.

When I say academics, I mean academic administrators.
They're very thin-skinned, politically correct, holier than thou.
