One person that is a leftist.
Millions of conservatives could complain say about a statue of Lenin in the state of Washington and the statue would stay.

They should have kept the bust and the plaque in place and told the complainer to go pi$$ up a rope.

I think the real problem of the complainer is that Lincoln was a Republican.

“The original [Gettysburg Addres] is safely sequestered, with a digital facsimile on permanent display.”

I imagine the hate-America marxist crowd would love nothing better than destroying all of the original copies. Putting that extremely rare document under the care of a liberal university is a mistake.

Of course, putting it under the care of a Democrat government or a WOKE Smithsonian Institution is no better.

Someone must have told the students that Lincoln was a Republican.

The complainer does not exist.

The forces gathered to erase America’s history and replace it unfortunately does exist.

My cousin’s son graduated from Cornell.

She was not happy when he came home a left-wing moonbat.

He was not like that before.

We visited Cornell last year because reportedly it is a beautiful campus with large old stone buildings. And it is. But every building had posters and banners of BLM.
The stores were worse downtown. The windows were covered in posters. I could not tell what they were selling in some of them. We kept on driving.

Someone complain that it is not there. It would be best if it were an alumnus with a checkbook.
