A Babyish Fear of History

I saw this at Lucianne.com today, yet another instance of unbelievably ignorant and childish behavior in today's so-called adults:

"Washington and Lee U. Students Demand Removal of Washington and Lee Photos from Diplomas.   Students and faculty at Washington and Lee University in Lexington city, Virginia, are demanding that the school remove photos of George Washington and Robert E. Lee from their diplomas. 'We, the undersigned, call on the administration of Washington and Lee University and President William Dudley to provide students with the option of removing the portraits of namesakes Robert E. Lee and George Washington from their diplomas,' proclaim the law students in their petition. Washington and Lee University diplomas display portraits of both George Washington and Robert E. Lee, given that the school has been named after them."

Demand all you want!  Hopefully the school is smarter than to cave in to this stupidity.  I agree with this reader comment:  "f these moronic snowflakes don't want photos of Washington and Lee on their diplomas, they always have the option of transferring to another school. W&L needs to stand firm in rejecting this idiocy!!"
