The idea of being offended by something as minute as the name on a building is just egregious. Why are college students becoming such sensitive snowflakes these days? As a former wolverine, I'm embarrassed to be associated with those whose intolerance leads to such radical action. This is a censoring of the freedom of expression stemming from stupid liberal left wing demagoguery. I hope this petition fails miserably and those who support it remain miserable.

Let's tell the "TRUTH THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH!" The civil rights leader, Fannie Lou Hamer, was the childhood victim of a eugenics procedure. Perhaps the new name for the building can be dedicated in memory of ""Fannie Lou Hamer"!

I support these brave and committed educators. I endorse the analysis. They affirm the value of the education I received at the hands of Terrence J. McDonald, Martin Pernick and too many other amazing faculty. This group of scholars constitute a key center in our understanding of health sciences and inequality in society. I admire their effort to make their scholarship relevant to our lives.

Eugenicists should not get to be memorialized at this University. We already have a lot of work to do to make our campus culture somewhere where marginalized people feel welcome---this is a simple gesture. Not forcing people to face the name of someone who argued for their sterilization is a low bar, but we aren't even there yet.
