The smartest, most educated president ever.
That would be Jared Kushner, JD, MBA.
Woodrow Wilson School being renamed

Really not surprising if you’ve read anything about him. Ironically, most of you haven’t despite this being a political science board.
His achievements in diplomacy and capability as a president were remarkable. The fact that you think he is somehow morally equivalent to H!tler is telling.
Nice straw man. I can tell you’re a scholar!

When are we going to change the name of both Stanford and Yale Universities? Seriously, Stanford was a racist that exploited Chinese laborers, killing lots of them while building his railroads. Yale was a slave trader.
Once we get rid of Wilson, we should also purge those problematic individuals from our collective memories.

Disagree. His involvement in the Great War and Principles were a big deal at the time. Since nation states in the fringes of Europe took shape at that time, due to collapsed empires, Wilson’s involvement is part of their founding narrative. And strangely, the humanistic aspect of his Principles contrast with his documented racialism.
So, well, in brief, how about:

He was the first aggressively imperialistic US president, as evidenced by his policy of intervening in the affairs of Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Nicaragua, and Mexico.
