I would think that this is some sort of joke if not for all of the prior attempts at cancelations around the nation.

GWU Student Calls for Canceling...George Washington
It’s about time somebody called out the racist hell that is … wait, I have it here somewhere … oh yeah, the racist hell that is George Washington University.
That somebody is GWU senior Caleb Francois, who has written a Washington Post op-ed calling for GW to change its name. There are two possible explanations for this piece: 1. It’s an extra credit attempt to show his professors he lapped up every woke nostrum and racialist complaint they vomited out, or 2. Francois has accepted money from a rival university to show prospective students and their parents that a GW diploma isn’t worth a sleeve of red Solo cups.
Either way, it’s not a serious argument – more sobbing whine than think piece.
Why isn’t the Father of our Country’s name good enough to grace a mediocre university in the city named after him? Francois has all the pat answers:
As our nation’s history of slavery, Jim Crow, red lining and other discriminatory policies toward African Americans has never been fully addressed or atoned for, these pleas for racial justice are a reflection of a shifting paradigm in American politics in which compromise and intolerance are no longer an option.
