#DEVELOPING - Baylor will rename campus area and relocate statue of slave-owning former university president https://t.co/L8ssNTUmG7

— KWTX News 10 (@kwtx) May 20, 2022

Again Baylor proves it is fundamentally not any different than you average liberal state university.

Spiting on its founders and ancestors.

If Baylor isn't admitting students simply because they're white, what would admitting people because they aren't white solve? Whiteness.

Good for BU!

Acknowledging and confessing our sins is as biblical and conservative as it gets!

The only sad part is that it will take away a great BU legend.

Do you know why Burleson's hat is filled with cement.

Back in the 1920's, miscreant BU students would stuff rags in his hat and set them on fire.

Then they would call the Fire Dept., crying, "Burleson's on fire!"

Naturally, the Fire Dept. assumed this meant Burleson Hall, and dispatched firefighters.

Otherwise, he won't be missed.

So easy to conquer the present when potential competitors only focus on the past

What a stupid waste of time. And for that, we thank you

I'm done. Baylor is gone.

We can't let students get the idea that human beings are complicated or that there's anything to learn from the past. Thank Goddess the children are safe now.

Taking responsibility for the sins of those long dead is neither conservative or biblical. It's 100% virtue signaling to the woke mob. Nothing more.

He would not be opposed to it. And would in fact celebrate if Judge Baylor's name was taken off the school.

He just knows that right now that is a bridge to far for the average student and alumni.

But that is the beauty of cultural liberalism…you keep pushing and the other side just keeps surrendering slowly.

We should replace him with a statue of George Floyd. You can be the first donor to the Baylor Woke George Floyd LBGTQ Fund.

Right as Livingstone gets a 10 year contract extension…this is just the beginning.

It may not be a disaster in itself, but it reveals a troubling lack of courage on the part of the school.

You'll call me crazy, but mark my words -- it's only a matter of time until they're endorsing LGBT groups on campus.

It also just marks a stupid compromise with an ideology that does not compromise.

If the statue of Burleson is just to odious for a prominent position then it eventually needs to be removed from campus all together.

If Burleson owning slaves is a reason for his defenestration…Judge Baylor must go as well.

I think the administrators knows that and just wants to kick the can on that decision down the road a few more years.

Thought provoking comment……and 100% accurate.

I knew when I was on campus that I would just shake with it's anger every time I walked past it. I feel so much more relieved and safe now.

Does this solve t'racism or we do still have to give special treatment to unqualified black students?

Acknowledging that we benefit from the results of those sins to this day is the work of Christ.

And I proudly wear the label of "woke."

The alternative is to be asleep to sin.

"A troubling lack of courage"? Really?

How is the confession of sin and repentance a lack of courage? It seems the opposite to me.

I think it's really important to acknowledge the sins of racism and slavery in a place like Waco, which was the site of one of the most horrific lynchings in history.

You might find it interesting that Burleson and those guys thought Catholics were more dangerous than anybody. B.H. Caroll, for whom several buildings were named, believed the Catholic Church was antiChrist. He and all those other guys saw the Catholic Church as apostate. But eventually, BU allowed Catholic student groups. A move that was regarded as "liberal" at the time.

Why not reflect on the fact that people of your faith were once considered just as sinful and dangerous as LGBTQ groups and that it's because of "liberals" that Catholics were even allowed on campus?

You want to stop the wave that changed the status of Catholics on campus?

If we keep removing statues because the historic figures they represent were also flawed human beings who sinned during their lives, the only statues we'll have left are statues of Christ.

While we're at it, are we going to remove RGIII's statue for cheating on his first wife??

Why these sins of slavery whose history spans millennia? And why this particular sin given all manner of reverence to others with sin? If you want to make a cultural argument, then do it, but don't try to conflate this with being Christlike.

This is basically the baptizing dead people in the woke religion.

Baylor is now just another over-priced private school offering a mediocre education.

I have been saying for years that Livingstone is an empty coat.

Just listen to her speaches.

Just getting started folks.

Who specifically needs their sins forgiven here? Burleson has been dead for nearly 125 years. Are you saying the university needs to acknowledge its sins and ask for forgiveness? How can an inanimate object accomplish such things? Help me understand your logic.

This has been true for a while now. We do the same things everyone else does. We just do it a little slower and throw some Jesus language on it.

I, for one, am shocked to find out that a prominent land owning person in the mid 19th century south would have owned slaves. Thank goodness Baylor brought attention to this new issue and dropped some pixie dust on it.

Here's an intersting article that mentions our County's namesake... https://wacohistory.org/items/show/143

Don't we have any real problems we could have been working on?

Dead is dead. What happened to him should have never happened. For him and his family he was sadly very much in control of the outcome. Hopefully that's a lesson to many people
