Some GW students think their mascot is offensive:

That may be the dumbest PC bullshit I've ever seen. Their issue isn't that GW was a slave owner, but because they misinterpret what "Colonials" is referring to

The GW Hippos...that makes a lot of sense.

Why not Hemp Farmers?

I should have been clearer, they think "colonials" is offensive, not necessarily the mascot "Big George" is offensive.

There is a clear opportunity to license A Bill from Schoolhouse Rock and rename the mascot:

Do they not have an American History department at GW?

Isn't the nickname hippo offensive to fat chicks?

Like most History Departments these days, history is taught from the perspective that everything white dudes did was evil and therefore must be destroyed. Not joking.

Tucker Carlson did a segment on this last night. Some great interviews with GW students.

Umm the GW mascot is the guy who led the military revolution to through off the colonial power Great Britain.

Logic fails here.

Although -- "Big George" does look like a crystal meth crazed child molestor..... but yeah the "name" is more disturbing
