DocWard Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 https://www.stripes.com/news/us/students-want-washington-and-lee-diplomas-without-portraits-of-washington-and-lee-1.609126?fbclid=IwAR3bkHg-KLirZmbsqQeIvvrAIjwd0VKPxY-qEpQE3tylqzauzDHR2QxrqUQ A group of law students is calling on Washington and Lee University to give future graduates the option of a diploma stripped of portraits of the school's namesakes, George Washington and Robert E. Lee. I've read this, I'm posting this, and I'm still in disbelief. It makes me truly question the critical thinking capacity of some who should be expert in that skill. When I read the headline to Mrs. Doc, her first response was "Is that from duffleblog or something?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calamity Kris Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Those who re-write history haven't learned anything from the works of those whom they are deleting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I have a better idea. Strip the name of whoever was getting the diploma off the diploma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Issue a bottle of White Out with each diploma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I'm just counting the days until somebody gets the idea to dynamite the faces of Washington and Jefferson off Mount Rushmore. Probably Teddy's too since he was a big game hunter. In their place we'll probably find Che Guevara, Tupac Shakur and Kim Kardashian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Change all the majors on the diplomas - and in the records - to "Virtue Signaling." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I believe they should get their wish and they should receive, instead, a diploma from the University of the District of Columbia as an option to having Washington and Lee’s pictures in there diplomas. UDC is ranked 6th worst university in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantankerous Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 How long before the government has its own secret department where they employ people to re write history? Oh wait… Is Orwell's book 1984 serving as a reminder of government overreach or is it serving as a template for government overreach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Didn’t they know where they were attending when they graduated high school? And didn’t they know what their diplomas would look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Didn’t they know where they were attending when they graduated high school? And didn’t they know what their diplomas would look like? They’re much smarter and more socially conscious now. Just ask em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outrider Outlaw Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 How about renaming the school George Washington and Robert E. Lee University? That would be a good substitute for the portraits. Sheesh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
