EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Michigan State University is moving to change the name of a campus building after learning that it's named for a man who belonged to the Ku Klux Klan.

Stephen Nisbet's membership card from the 1920s was discovered at a library at Central Michigan University, MSU said.

The human resources building is named for Nisbet, who was a member of the school's governing board in the 1960s. He worked in education and business, and was chairman of the 1961 convention that produced Michigan's constitution.

“While Mr. Nisbet’s dedication and contributions to the state of Michigan are significant, his involvement with the KKK cannot be ignored, and these activities directly conflict with the values and mission of Michigan State University,” President Samuel Stanley Jr. said.

2. MSU support 11 limbaugh /kkk radio stations - they ought to keep going with cleanup and

start looking for apolitical radio alts to broadcast their sports

MSU is one of 87 unis that keep 260 limbaugh stations going, as they crap on their mission statements and support racism and trump and global warming denial

3. Good angle

You can't eliminate the guy's history from society in Michigan, but you can remove it from where everyone has to see it everyday.

That whole football-beer-pickups-guns-limbaugh is a loose cabal.

Michael Moore? If the cabal were toppled he couldn't make films anymore. His topics would be mute. Keeping NeoCons in power is MM's personal job program.
