I thought this was going to be some woke shite about them being named after a slave owner.
I wouldn't mind that. Because that would mean defaulting back to the original name.
I thought this is where this thread was going too. Hasn't there already been a call to remove Tulane's name from the university? I don't think he was a slave owner but he definitely was on the Confederate side. From Wikipedia: "During the American Civil War, Tulane was the largest donor in New Orleans to the Confederate States of America, but the historian John D. Winters in Civil War in Louisiana (1963) does not provide the amount Tulane contributed. He donated $300 (1874 value) to erect a Confederate monument in Greenwood Cemetery. Tulane has been described as one of the most generous contributors to the Ladies' Benevolent Association of Louisiana, an institution dedicated to producing Confederate monuments." It's only a matter of time before the name has to geaux
