Anti-Gladstone mob may be ‘woke’ but should be put to bed without supper

When the woke despoilers of history and reason try to cancel the legacy of one of the greatest liberalizers in Western civilization, they demonstrate a willful ignorance so deep as to be malevolent.

Sadly, the University of Liverpool has abjectly surrendered to the moronic mob. The university has agreed to remove the name of legendary 19th-century British Prime Minister William Gladstone, a Liverpool native, from one of its residence halls because Gladstone’s father owned slaves and, early in his distinguished career, Gladstone didn’t object. By this stunningly twisted illogic, women’s organizations should not honor suffragette leader Elizabeth Cady Stanton because her father, too, once owned slaves.
