Following student complaints that the “Colonials” mascot was offensive, George Washington University is getting a new moniker.
The university, headquartered in Washington, D.C., announced that its new moniker will be the “Revolutionaries” following months of debate and protests that the title “Colonials” was “extremely offensive” to the “nation and world at large.”

“This is an exciting day for the George Washington University Revolutionaries,” said Mark Wrighton, the president of the school. “I am very grateful for the active engagement of our community throughout the development of the new moniker. This process was truly driven by our students, faculty, staff and alumni, and the result is a moniker that broadly reflects our community—and our distinguished and distinguishable GW spirit.”
Many of the people in the original 13 colonies who fought for independence from the British from 1775 to 1783 were referred to as “Colonials” when the term was first used in 1926. Sentinels, Blue Fog, and Ambassadors were a few alternative names that were suggested as replacements.
NBC host and school alumnus Chuck Todd appeared in an announcement video that emphasized the school’s dedication to bringing about change in the world.
“We are a truly global community, shaping the future of the world every day. We are always pushing, always learning. We are excited by new people, new experiences, new ideas, and new ways of thinking. We are in the center of power where our energy and drive fuels Washington, D.C., and beyond. We are dedicated to changing the world for the better,” a narrator said in the video, which featured footage of Vice President Kamala Harris at the university.
When more than 500 students signed a petition connecting the school’s mascot to “systemic oppression,” the movement to change the name got underway.
“The use of ‘Colonials,’ no matter how innocent the intention, is received as extremely offensive by not only students of the University, but the nation and world at large. The historically, negatively-charged figure of Colonials has too deep a connection to colonization and glorifies the act of systemic oppression,” the students said.

The school said it received more than 47,000 responses during its search for a new name. “To have 47,000 points of feedback from the GW community is a testament to the pride people have in this institution, and we are proud to offer them a new moniker that will propel us as we move ahead in our third century,” said Vice President for Communications and Marketing Ellen Moran.

The woke agenda is being promoted everywhere.
Not only is it being promoted on television, and in movies, but that is just the tip of the iceberg.
Even the stores that we shop at are funding the very liberal, commie, woke agendas that we are doing our best to rail against.
