College Students Demand ‘Clarence Thomas’ Building Be Renamed After Anita Hill
PJ Media ^ | 10/16/2018 | BY TONI AIRAKSINEN

Posted on 10/16/2018 7:22:25 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Students and alumni of the Savanna College of Art and Design (SCAD) are petitioning the school to remove Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas’s name from a campus building.

Created by SCAD alumna Sage Lucero, 22, the petition “Take a Sexual Predator’s Name Off of SCAD’s Building” has racked up more than 2,200 signatures as of Monday, and takes aim at the school’s Clarence Thomas Center for Historic Preservation.

The building, Lucero told PJ Media, “should be renamed after Anita Hill instead.” In a Sunday interview, Lucero said she started the petition after watching Christine Blasey Ford testify against Brett Kavanaugh.

“The incident became one person’s word against another’s,” wrote Lucero. “The same situation is happening before our eyes with Dr. Ford and Brett Kavanaugh. When will we learn that a victim’s trauma should outweigh politics?”

Since publishing the petition on October 1st, Lucero said she’s seen an outpouring of support from students and concerned alumni.

"When I first put the petition out, I didn't realize how many students were already outraged over this. It's something SCAD needs to notice. It sends the wrong message out to their students. It says: you're not welcome here,” Lucero told PJ Media.

"It's definitely offensive to women that go to our school,” said Lucero.

“To be a young women trying to pursue your dreams, and having to walk through the doors of a building with his name on it, it goes against everything SCAD stands for. This isn’t political, this is about women’s rights,” she added.

Since publishing the petition, numerous local news crews have dropped by SCAD’s campus to ask students what they think of the petition. PJ Media spoke with a few supporters of the petition, but all feared retaliation from SCAD for speaking to the media.

College students need to get a life worth their taking up the space they use to make life miserable for everyone else. They don’t know near enough to be bossing anyone around.

Figures from the future heavily-in-debt-snowflakes with few job prospects other than as paid protestors.

In my fantasy world, the Dean of Students would hand each “protestor” a stack of papers labeled “Procedures for Withdrawing from Savannah College of Art and Design” and suggest that maybe they’d be happier somewhere else.

Given the University’s propensity for promoting LIES, the Anita Hill moniker is apt.

This is disappointingly stupid. Over the years I have had the pleasure of working with a number of SCAD graduates doing extremely technical media and animations for the DoD. While they’re young most of the had their heads on straight and believed like patriots. This sounds to me more like agitation from the SCAD administrations offices.

There was once a time when you had to work hard to earn enough respect to where what you thought was important.

On college campuses all you need to be is young and stupid and the administration rolls over on every demand.

What we need is a new set of administrators.

A general rule, based upon considerable history, is that a sexual predator REMAINS a sexual predator. US Representative Anthony Weiner had MANY CHANCES to change but he kept doing it!

If Justices Thomas and Kavanaugh were actual rather than alleged, we would have seen a pattern of behavior to prove it. Yet, unless the LEFTist Media is protecting them (HA!), there does not appear to any news there. So these LEFTist mush-brains want to change the world on basis of politically-driven allegations with no proof or pattern.

No resemblances to the political mass-psychoses of history like the Red Guard of Mao’s China, RIGHT?!

Well to paraphrase PDJT on 60 minutes Sunday, “He’s the dean and you’re not.” LOL!

Just think, these are the ones Conservatives are compared to when leftists say we’re uneducated.

What a gift.

Every single day a new leftist idiot makes the mainstream press and scares the crap out of normal people.

Trump, Grassley, and McConnell managed the Kavanaugh confirmation process like masters.

All this free advertising against leftists. No amount of money could buy it.

And the JAZZ museum in KC should be named after Barry Manilow.
