You mean marxist anti-father movement. So many ppl buy into the brand names not knowing the details. Idiots.

Fools!

*ahem*

Caving in to SJW and BLM scum.

No. K through 12 school is for factual education, not opinions or politics.

School is to EDUCATE NOT INDOCTRINATE. History is fact, immutable, and without it leaves a future destined to failures of the past. BLM proposes radicalization based on socialist principles. You may love it, but most Americans still recognize the stupidity to which you hold.

You mean the new communist regime. From another article comment -BLM are an extreme Marxist violent group formed to overthrow all systems of a civil society. Marxists/commies.

In a way,that's a bummer, because my grandfather went to school at USC,played football alongside Marion Michael Morrison back in the day.Wayne may well have been a racist; I don't know about Grandpa,as he died when I was 8.I just always thought it was kind of a cool family story.

Burn Loot Murder supporters murdered more unarmed blacks in several weeks than Police have in a decade. BLM is nothing more than American ISIS and idiots have now funded them.

الان ديگه فكر نكنم كشوري باشه كه مردمانش اسم ايران رو نشنيده باشند...

My question is this, if BLM wants to remove anything with a history of racism, why aren’t they fighting harder to remove realDonaldTrump?

Such crap. Lost respect for USC

Be careful you may have to prove that or pay a billion dollar judgment

The late Sen Robert Byrd supported white supremacy and was leader in the KKK. Yet this left wing media of the Democrat Party never gave a hoot - - left it in the rear for many many decades. There are a great number of infamous Democrats who were racists - and sexual assaulters.

Thank goodness. Never understood the obsession with John Wayne. Not at all.

He did? That’s disappointing 😟

Maybe consider removing or at least monitoring your sexually criminal staff members? John Wayne isnt raping students.

Now that i did the joke, look what his racist ass said

The statue topplers said we could keep our history - in museums and books. Now they're coming for the exhibits in museums. Can the book burning be far behind?

Good riddance.

This will never end. They will never be satisfied

Six more counts of sex assault, battery filed against former USC gynecologist George TyndallThe Los Angeles County district attorney's office filed new counts against former USC gynecologist George Tyndall, who was arrested last year. The longtime physician was arrested in June 2019 and charged with 29 felonies based on allegations of sexual misconduct made by 16 women regarding incidents between 2009 and 2016. He looks exactly the way I would expect a gynecologist accused of sexual abuse to look, for whatever that is worth. A picture really does say 1,000 words
