The irony is that I don’t see Woodrow Wilson’s name on this list. If there ever was a president who should be “cancelled” on the basis of promoting racism, its Wilson. The fact that Lincoln is on the list and Wilson isn’t tells you how vapid and doctrinaire this movement is.

Why would Millard Fillmore be found to be objectionable? IIRC, the man served only one term as president and he is not one that you mention commonly as Washington or Lincoln or Jefferson or more recent ones like GWB or Trump.

One of the worst legacies from President Nixon is his calling the George Washington's Birthday holiday "Presidents' Day." Now most people seem to think we have a day set aside to honor all the Presidents.

Nixon presumably thought the holiday was for both Lincoln and Washington, but Lincoln never had a federal holiday in his honor.
