Woke Professor Calls for George Floyd’s Name on Major State University!

You probably didn’t hear about the “Socialism 2025” conference that happened over the weekend, and honestly, you didn’t miss much—unless you’re into academic cosplay, radical leftist fever dreams, and professors trying to turn America into a Marxist summer camp. One gem that did come out of it, though, was University of Houston professor David McNally’s idea to rename the school George Floyd University. No, that’s not satire. That actually happened.

McNally, speaking from a panel in Chicago (because of course he was), strutted out wearing a keffiyeh and started rambling about how to “de-stateify” public universities. Translation: rip out every piece of American structure and tradition and replace it with a far-left utopia. Among his brilliant ideas? Abolish tuition and grades, because why bother earning anything when you can just feel your way to a degree?

But the cherry on top was his call to rename the University of Houston after George Floyd. His reasoning? He said it would make the university a “resource of the broader community,” particularly the Third Ward of Houston. Apparently, in his mind, a university’s job is not education but activism—and George Floyd, whose death was tragic but whose personal history is, to put it mildly, complicated, is now supposed to be the symbol of higher learning.

McNally then took a nostalgic trip down memory lane to June 2020, recalling how “insurgents” controlled downtown Houston during the riots. Not “protesters,” mind you—he used the word insurgent. He described with joy how police were overwhelmed and how, for a brief moment, the mob had control. This wasn’t about justice or reform to him; it was about power, plain and simple.

This is who’s teaching your kids. This is what’s poisoning academia from the inside out. And when Americans wonder why universities are becoming unrecognizable, or why taxpayer funding for higher education is suddenly under the microscope, well—look no further. People are tired of footing the bill for institutions that no longer believe in the country that makes their very existence possible.

Renaming a school after George Floyd? Abolishing grades and tuition? These aren’t reforms. This is ideological insanity. And it’s exactly why conservatives need to keep pushing back against these tenured radicals who’d rather burn it all down than preserve anything good about the United States.
