ERASING

RACIST

BOB JORDAN @BOBJORDANAPP

TRENTON Donald Trumps popularity soared as he
billed himself as the ultimate outsider repulsed by establishment politics on both sides of the aisle.
You wouldnt know that from looking at his New Jersey delegates list.
Trump voters in the June 7 presidential primary will
be asked to back a roster loaded up with veteran political insiders, operatives, lobbyists, county party bosses

Woodrow Wilson at Monmouth University.
The campus is in the throes of a kind of introspection now spreading across the nation, considering
whether the former presidents name should be stricken from the iconic Wilson Hall. Some call it a necessary conversation while others regard it as political
correctness run amok.
The mansion bears the touches of the 20th centurys
finest artists, but some here worry that Wilsons racist
history he was a white supremacist who erased even
modest gains made by blacks of his era is a stain that
detracts from the buildings beauty and the schools
