Kung Flu's hidden blessing: 1/2 of nation's liberal arts colleges expected to close. Here's one that should head the list

Slave owners John Emory and Patrick Henry
Emory & Henry College in Virginia has announced to students the school will re-examine its wasp mascot. Why? The bug may appear “exclusive” to students who are not White Anglo-Saxon Protestants, or “WASPs.”
While a public outcry over racism continues around the nation, the college is already concerned that its two historical namesakes — Methodist Episcopal Church bishop John Emory and founding father Patrick Henry — were slave holders. The school mascot has also come under scrutiny.
“Conversations must examine how Emory & Henry’s past has contributed to current and ongoing systemic oppression,” said Dr. John Wells, president of Emory & Henry College, according to the email obtained by Young America’s Foundation.
Get woke, go broke. Next will come the demand to remove the founders’ statues from campus, then to change the school’s name entirely (how about “Yale”?), then oblivion. Emory and Henry College, founded in 1836, is on borrowed time and unlikely to make it to its bicentennial.
Which is a good thing, because why would anyone entrust his money or his child to the care of spineless idiots like Dr. John Wells?
