Damn! That is a Bit Harsh! Other than the "Commonwealth" Games. Little Remains of the British Empire, Most of the Evil of Colonialism Happened Long Before QEII. Definitely Will Spark More Debate.

It's likely due to her family's history of colonization - which she was part of as well. They're just making a statement.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - I don't know that England (where Oxford is located) was ever colonized by the Queen or the members of the Queens family, but hooah...

What oxford is doing is a little harsh. If they want to remove pictures of previous monarchs I would agree and understand. Why should she be judged by her ancestors? Should we all start judging each other by our ancestors past and mistakes and find something to cancel them? Everyone is gonna find something to be upset about. Bleedy Christ people say they're tolerant but im starting to see most intolerance within the human race more than I did growing up.
