Boston College High School Removing Founder’s Name From Building Over Slavery Ties
“BC High is a school that respects and upholds the dignity of all people”
I will now ask once again, why Yale has not been forced to change its name? Elihu Yale was a major figure in the slave trade.

Boston College High School renames campus building due to founder’s ties to slavery
Boston College High School is removing its founder’s name from a campus building due to his ties to slavery.
School President Grace Cotter Regan called its founder, Father John McElroy, an “extraordinary” man. But further research found he had connections to slavery when he served in Maryland in the early 1800s.
“BC High is a school that respects and upholds the dignity of all people, and it is our responsibility to demonstrate these values to the faculty, staff, students, and alumni who walk through our halls each day, both now and in the future,” said Regan in a statement.

They’re overworking Winston.
I’m sure this name removal will take a lot of pressure off of the oppressed and mistreated alleged “students”.
Meanwhile, the minority students who actually study, do the assignments and work hard will not notice anything because this stuff is not on their minds. Their minds and eyes are on the prize.
“I will now ask once again, why Yale has not been forced to change its name?”
James Comey determined that Elihu Yale “had no intent to break the law” (that was passed centuries after he died).
No surprise. Boston College, which provides most of the staff at this high school, has a massive inferiority complex when it comes to Harvard.
This is just another attempt to out-woke their rival in hopes of getting a leg up on them in the who’s the Biggest Victim sweepstakes.
