meanwhile im here like "we should physically seize anything of value from the buildings, we should put the alumni and their families on a education and work blacklist since they are all unredeemable rich assholes, and we should build a new school somewhere else that isnt founded by people who profited from slavery"

like seriously everybody, good leftists are not meritocrats, we dont believe that skill or ability should determine someones societal status. talk to any highschool student trying to get into a good college from us to china and they will all be stressed out and the majority that dont succeed are going to be irreconcilably damaged from the experience because of all the cramming they did and the existential dread that a fucking test can determines ones own life trajectory is not something we should be forcing on children, teenagers, young adults, or anybody really.

literally one of the deadliest civil wars in chinese history was caused by a guy failing the civil service examination and that led to him to black out and wake up thinking he was jesus' brother, and there was the austrian who famously was rejected from art school, maybe we should make education more equitable and not have elite universities and that necessitates tearing down the old prestigious ones funded by blood money.
