You may not have heard that the ‘Socialism 2025’ conference happened over the weekend. To no one’s surprise, many of the attendees were far left college professors.
One prof in attendance suggested that the University of Houston should be renamed ‘George Floyd University’ among a laundry list of other crazy things.
These people do not believe in the United States of America as founded. They want to tear the country down and remake it in their image.

Socialist Texas professor calls for University of Houston to be renamed ‘George Floyd University’
University of Houston professor David McNally proposed renaming his school to “George Floyd University” and abolishing tuition and grades at the Socialism 2025 conference Saturday.
While wearing a keffiyeh, McNally spoke on a panel in Chicago about what fighting the state would look like in the “context of growing an insurgent mass movement.” Among McNally’s ideas for the “de-stateification” of the University of Houston, which is a public university, included honoring Floyd after his highly publicized death in May 2020.
“We would open the university up in such a way that it becomes a resource of the broader community,” McNally said. “And I can tell you with great confidence that in the Third Ward of Houston, that means that we will be renamed the George Floyd University.”…
McNally also recounted his experience of watching the George Floyd Black Lives Matter protests in June 2020, where he saw police officers being overwhelmed by protesters.
“All of a sudden you got a glimpse of what it means when we control the streets because the cops were backing off. They were completely outnumbered,” McNally recalled. “You begin to sense what happens when the balance of social forces, even in one small situation, shifts and how the horizons of possibility change. For that period of time, that part of downtown Houston was not in their hands anymore. It was in our hands. It was in insurgent hands.”

If people in higher education want to know why so much of their federal funding is currently facing such scrutiny, this is one of the main reasons. People do not want to support this anti-American lunacy with their tax dollars anymore.
