Yale could be the latest institution to be targeted by the woke mob for cancellation, after it was noted that the University’s founder Elihu Yale was a successful slave trader.
Ironically, it appears that ‘cancel Yale’ is gaining traction because a conservative activist, who has campaigned against leftist university brainwashing in America.

The transformation of @JesseKellyDC from “I’m a pretty normal conservative who makes funny jokes about his wife”
into “I will destroy your left-wing institution using your own rules and laugh while doing so”
Is deeply heartening
Godspeed, Jesse. #CancelYale

Conservatives are using the Yale example to point out the hypocrisy:

I am literally shaking at this roster of racist monsters who proudly and publicly declare their complicity in Yale’s legacy of racism and slavery.
I am literally shaking even more now.#CancelYale @JesseKellyDC pic.twitter.com/f4G1Cjoszs

Our entire world is stupid. And if we are removing Teddy Roosevelt, probably the founder of the environmentalist movement, let’s add Yale to the list. #CancelYale https://t.co/L2oo51woYf

Please lend your voice in calling for removal of this disgusting legacy Ivy League (7/8 founded by slavers); Land Grant Colleges (land stolen from indigenous peoples.. Crickets from their presidents hiding under desks or in The Vineyard. #CancelYale

If you have a degree from Yale on your wall, it might as well be a confederate cooler in your boat. You racist. #CancelYale

For those calling #CancelYale a troll
My question is:
If you believe in tearing down the monuments to confederate generals due to slavery
How do you *not* rename a university named after a slave trader, Elihu Yale?

Some leftists are very confused though:

Yale astronomy professors expressed doubts that “deeply entrenched systemic racism” existed in their department — by pointing to their hiring of a single Black employee in 1985https://t.co/yrgveXcWPe

The #CancelYale campaign is yet another example of conservatives appealing to leftist standards in their cancel attempts. It doesn't counter leftist principles or advance the conservative cause–it just reinforces the Left's moral power

Wow, the #CancelYale tag is a fascinating convergence of right-wing trolling (Ann Coulter & Co. pointing out that Yale is named after a slave trader & should scrub its name) & leftists who agree
