Marshall University in Huntington, WV is named after John Marshall. Guess that school has to be renamed too.

Isn’t that the school where the commie filth - Ayer ‘teaches’? We’ll be cancelling anyone connected to commie traitors soon.

Well, I guess Brown University does not have to worry. It’s named after Michael Brown, right?

Stupid, stupid wokeism. Will accomplish little if anything. I seriously doubt anything worthwhile will come from this. Except more hatred and racism.

So being the most influential Chief Justice in our nation’s history means nothing when naming a law school but slave ownership does?

Well, in that case, Kamala Harris should resign, because she had ancestors involved in the slave trade.

Will be if it is not already. The herd of sheep keep heading toward the slaughter pen and slaughter day.

Why the hate?

Have you ever changed the name of a large facility? I have done it about a dozen times. It sucks.

But go ahead and name something for the “flavor of the day.”

Thurgood Marshall has the same last name. Remove that name too...could trigger the similarly invincibly ignorant and can’t have that.

Martha Washington ordered her husband's slaves to be freed because she did not want to give any of them an incentive to kill her.

George Washington did not want to break up any families which made the process very complicated, since some of the slaves he owned (and could free) were married to dower slaves (which he could not free).

The shade of Thomas Jefferson, wherever it resides, must be smiling. He and Marshall were related but he did not like Marshall and resented John Adams’ decision to make Marshall the Chief Justice shortly before Adams left office.

To be fair, shouldn’t we call upon the Democrats to renounce the use of judicial review (Marbury v. Madison) since it was developed by John Marshall?

I thought if I stuck around and stared in your direction long enough, I might get to see you cry.

Have never been taken to Vermont to see for myself, I now realize why.

I know three graduates of John Marshall Law School who all went on to pass the bar and become attorneys.

Are their degrees and law licenses now cancelled? Asking for three friends.
