OldBrownsFan Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 George Washington U Kills ‘Colonials’ Mascot After Students Offended George Washington University has quietly begun removing references to its “Colonials” mascot after students argued earlier this year that the mascot represents “oppression.” According to a report by the Young America’s Foundation, George Washington University has been slowly removing references to its popular “Colonials” mascot. Breitbart News reported in February that students at the university started a petition which argued that the “Colonials” mascot has a problematic “connection to colonization” and “systematic oppression.” The petition, which received over 500 student signatures, argued that the “Colonials” mascot is “extremely offensive.” “We, as students of the George Washington University, believe it is of great exigence that the University changes its official mascot,” the petition read, “The use of ‘Colonials,’ no matter how innocent the intention, is received as extremely offensive by not only students of the University, but the nation and world at large.” In a recent video by Campus Reform, George Washington University students claimed they are not proud to be American. https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2019/08/29/george-washington-u-kills-colonials-mascot-after-students-offended/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasAg1969 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I could see it if it was the Ole Miss Rebels, but Colonials? They should change the name from that racist slave owner George Washington instead. You know, something more Virginian like Washington and Lee University. Oh wait, that's already taken.🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
