An exhibition dedicated to classic film star John Wayne will be removed following student protests over the actor’s history of racist remarks.
The exhibit, at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts, featured photos and memorabilia from Wayne’s film career, but has been dogged by controversy since it was installed in 2012.
In a statement, the school’s assistant dean of diversity and inclusion Evan Hughes confirmed that the exhibit would be placed in the university’s archives.

I guess that it is up to the school, but this has gotten way past stupidity.
