It's shameful that Yale has made a decision to keep Calhoun College's name. John C. Calhoun was a white supremacist defender of slavery.

I've tweeted about Calhoun in the past. He's was a PASSIONATE racist. Hated black people, called them savages.https://twitter.com/aurabogado/status/559521930236010496 …

I feel so bad for all the students of color who put their neck on the line, this year esp, and still have to return to Calhoun next year.

Yale also made other big decisions. One good: abolishing the term "Master" for college heads. Yay welcome to the 20th C. Oops I mean 21st.

One great decision: on the new Yale residential colleges will be Pauli Murray, after the amazing queer black feminist scholar. Finally!

But other other new college will be called Benjamin Franklin. After a dead white man who never even went to Yale.pic.twitter.com/sOnMWHKPfi

Yale literally named a college after the 100 dollar bill omg for real they did that.

A graphic designer should pull Franklin's image, throw a Yale t-shirt on him, and add HE DOESN'T EVEN GO HERE in white block meme style font

Charles Johnson was like I'll give you a quarter billion dollars if you name a college Ben Franklin and Yale was like cool!

What happens when a Yale alum tells the school he wants to donate $1 billion on one condition: a new college named after Adolf Hitler?

There's to be a point at which you say, "Sorry no amount of money can make us name a college after a slave owner, Ben Franklin included."
