The New York Times on Thursday published an advertisement calling for Yale to be renamed after someone who was not a brutal, white supremacist slave-trader. A Harvard man named Jeremiah Dummer fits the bill, New Criterion editor and American Greatness contributor Roger Kimball argues.
In the oped, first published at American Greatness, Kimball adds his voice to a growing cacophony of conservative voices seeking to #CancelYale.
In the ad, Kimball writes, “if the Left can deface or destroy statues of George Washington, Christopher Columbus, Thomas Jefferson, and countless others, shouldn’t we insist that they live up to their own ideals and cancel racially tainted liberal institutions like Yale?”

Rename Yale “Dummer”? Seriously? It’s absolutely PERFECT!

Because of the hour, I misread the title. I thought it said Jemima, as in Aunt Jemima.

So...instead of Yalie's or Eli’s, the students would be called Dummies?

Personally, I don't really care. All these communist ivy league schools should be renamed to communist figures. Try "Trotsky", "Marx", "Lenin", "Yeltsin", "Putin", etc. Oh, and, especially, don't forget "Mao".

I can see it now, adds for this name change: "There's no Dummer University than ours." People will ask "Did you graduate from Dummer?" If you say "Yes" then they'll say "Your a Dummie." You can't write this stuff.

Great! Now we can shame anyone who attended Yale (and we’ll know who they are because they mention it in every conversation) as having attended the ultimate in racist organizations. And we can shut down the university by making it completely racist to even think about applying to go there. Turn the whole leftist toilet into Section 8 housing.
And let’s not forget to #cancelVanderbilt. Cornelius Vanderbilt owned numerous plantations. And while we’re at it, how about #canceltheBiltmore - more Section 8 housing. And #cancelAndersonCooper whose wealth was handed down to him by old Cornelius.
See, lefties, we can play this game too.

I suggest that Harvard merge with Yale and rebrand themselves, "Dum and Dummer University." No more slave traders as founders, and will more accurately reflect what intellectual product they are churning out these days.

Maybe BLeningradM would be a good name. After the PC Terror is successfully defeated it could then be renamed again.
The Dim Party needs to be renamed for sure. Something like the FRSRNM- Former Racists Still Racist Now Marxists party.
How are the dims allowed to exist with the racism on their formerly hooded selves?

Let's put the left wing cancel culture to work against left wing institutions. Just close Yale and burn it down.

Perhaps Yale's entire endowments should be given to blacks. Call it reparations!

It works. After four years at an American college students sure seem to come out dumber.

So, to hoist the liberal creepozoids on their own petard, shall we now change the name of every city, county that starts with 'San' or 'Santa' (San Francisco, San Diego, Santa Barbara, etc.)? After all, evil religious people named these places after evil Christian saints. The list of micro and macro aggressions is endless: Christian, white supremacy, white privilege, Western culture, and on and on.

On the subject of name changes....
New York, the City and the State, are named after the Duke of York, who held the Exclusive English License to import slaves into the American colonies and sell them.
Yep! New York is named after the Biggest Slave Trader of the All!
How about it, New Yawk?
WHEN are you going to change YOUR name!
