On princeton removing woodrow wilson's name
It was brought to my attention that princeton, by a decision from their board of trustees and president, has decided to remove woodrow wilson's name from their institutions, which the statement below verifies
I was grateful to see that their school of international affairs, which I have grudgingly interacted with over the years, has acknowledged thisI should note that this racism has effected my family and peoples worse than others as woodrow wilson during his term as american president, which was shortly after he was president of princeton;
1. Forced through an aggressive war on Germany and her allies because of a rogue telegram by German foreign minister zimermann when wilson was making peace negotiations with Bernstorff which would have ended WWI.
2. Refused to work with the representatives of Habsburg Austria-Hungary to achieve a just peace in WWI.
3. Used prisoners infected with lethal viruses as soldiers in WWI in combat, causing what was known as the "Spanish flu" because those infected soldiers were first disembarked in Espana before being sent to front line positions, because american troops and their allies were losing on the battlefield.
I point out that this is a token gesture as princeton continues their racist activities as their anti-Iranian actions show, showing the racism has simply taken on another form.
If princeton and america are sincere about repairing the damage wilson caused they would take a more anti-marxist stance and work for restoring what wilson wrongly took from the Habsburgs, Hohenzollerns, and their associates.
