Apparently, students are offended by his "racist" views and legacy.

Well that's just dumb. They're not protesting the way things are done, not trying to affect any meaningful change, just trying to remove the name of a post-Civil War President, not a slaveowner or member of a hate group, whose ideas they happened to disagree with from a building.

 

Personally, I find the concept of teaching economics in a high school named after Herbert Hoover far more offensive.

 

Quote:LOS ANGELES — Campus safety officers at Occidental College are denouncing a demand by a student activists that they stop wearing bulletproof vests. The police do not carry weapons, and bulletproof vests are their only protection.

A professor who did not wish to be named told Breitbart News that he supported the students’ demand regarding bulletproof vests, because “the vests here are just indicative of the increasing armament of police forces around he country.”

 

One black female student named Dionne told Breitbart News that”we are extremely tired of being marginalized on this campus.” She said that she and fellow black students face micro- and macro-aggressions on campus nearly daily, and claimed that some students are stopped by campus security based solely on their color, and are questioned as to whether they are students there.

So let me get this straight: they make vague, unsubstantiated comments about racial discrimination, but instead choose to focus their argument on taking Kevlar vests (which virtually every officer in the country wears, btw) off of campus police because...unicorns and raibows?
