University of Wisconsin-Madison removes two-billion-year-old rock because of ‘racism’

Just when I thought things could not get any dumber, some one says here hold my beer.

So let me get this straight, a rock has been sitting at the center of college for 96 years that was intended to honor a founder who was a scientist/geologist. It's been there at the center for all these years and student's petition the campus to remove it due to racist events that took place all these years at the center of it and your upset why? The student's went through the right channels to do it and their not using tax payer dollars to remove it but private funds. The school contracted professionals to remove so rock. If student's just drove up there with a crane or some machinery to remove it without permission I'd see the reason for outcry but with it being done the right way and private funds being used I just don't get it.

Ok so there’s this rock on campus that has racial ties. It was removed from campus so students wouldn’t be reminded of it’s racist past. It was moved to another location where students couldn’t see it and wouldn’t be reminded of it’s past right? Alternatively it was placed in another location so it could be used for study purposes. Answer me this. Regardless of where the rock is moved it’s still representative of racism right? Couldn’t that 50k have been better used to start a curriculum on how to combat racism? I don’t mean no harm here but can someone help me understand this? NOT!
