Oh sweet irony….will they also demand that the incompetent Attorney General Loretta Lynch who shares all their “sensitivity” change her name?????rsk
Students at Lebanon Valley College in Pennsylvania are demanding that administrators change the name of a building on campus that they find offensive. Lynch Memorial Hall, which bears the name of the institution’s Depression era president, should have a name change because of “racial connotations” associated with the term “lynching.”
The students, most of home belong to the campus Black Student Union, wish to expunge the name of Dr. Clyde A. Lynch who served through the Great Depression and the Second World War. He raised $55,000 to build a physical education facility that was later made into classrooms. Adjusting for inflation, the money Lynch raised would now surpass $725,000. Lynch died in 1950.
Lebanon Valley College is a private institution. Among the demands on the part of the Black Student Union are racial sensitivity training for faculty and staff, as well as diversity workshops. Other demands include: surveys of the racial climate on campus, facilities for different gender identities and disabilities, in addition to protocols for officials in responding to allegations and acts of bias. The demands were made on December 4 at the predominantly white institution.
