Students want to rename building called "Lynch" because of racial overtones

[Iowa]

Them college students is so smart.



Students at a small Pennsylvania college are demanding that administrators rename a building called “Lynch Memorial Hall'' because of the racial overtones of the word “lynch.''
The building is named after Clyde A. Lynch, who was president of Lebanon Valley College from 1932 until his death in 1950.

Students want school officials to either rename the building entirely or add Lynch's first name and middle initial, saying the word recalls the public executions of black men by white mobs in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

It was included on a list of demands that students presented to the school on Friday. Other demands include a more diverse curriculum, more sensitivity training for staff and regular surveys of the racial climate on campus.

School spokesman Marty Parkes said Tuesday that President Lewis Thayne is considering all of the demands and will address them at a forum next month.

Calling Lynch a “very important figure'' in the history of the college, Parkes said officials want to avoid “doing anything that would denigrate his memory or his legacy here.''

Let's lobby the COTUS to pass a law just banning 'Lynch' as a legal last name for anyone or anything for ever and ever. :p :rolleyes:

Did all this happen because we had our first black president?

I'd locate the cause back in the 60s/70s, when the Marxists got tenure.

...the crazy's been building up for a long time, just now reaching critical mass.

Obama hasn't helped, though...

These students are complete bigots. The prejudice they are showing against people of Irish descent is (quite frankly) sickening.


Lynch Name Meaning

Irish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Loingsigh ‘descendant of Loingseach’, a personal name meaning ‘mariner’ (from long ‘ship’). This is now a common surname in Ireland but of different local origins, for example chieftain families in counties Antrim and Tipperary, while in Ulster and Connacht there were families called Ó Loingseacháin who later shortened their name to Ó Loingsigh and also Anglicized it as Lynch.Irish (Anglo-Norman): Anglicized form of Gaelic Linseach, itself a Gaelicized form of Anglo-Norman French de Lench, the version found in old records. This seems to be a local name, but its origin is unknown. One family of bearers of this name was of Norman origin, but became one of the most important tribes of Galway.English: topographic name for someone who lived on a slope or hillside, Old English hlinc, or perhaps a habitational name from Lynch in Dorset or Somerset or Linch in Sussex, all named with this word.

I suppose they will want to rename the White House to something not quite so "racial" too.

[enhanced_deficit]

I would like to request renaming of the current President.
His middle name sounds quite like last name Saddam Hussein and his last name sounds quite like first name of Osama.

[idiom]

it wasn't just blacks that got lynched.

The evil. The racism. Even his hair is white!

I worked with a black girl named Lynch. Then there was John Lynch of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I don't know any other Lynches, so those students are probably right.
