[TOWNHALL] King's College London, a prominent university in the UK, announced it will be replacing some of the portraits of the school’s founders in the main entryway because they are white, which, apparently, is “intimidating” to minority students.
The entryway will instead feature a “wall of diversity” of black and ethnic minority scholars. The changes are being implemented by the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, whose dean of education, Patrick Leman, explained that the reason for the change was because the entrance was full of “busts of 1920s bearded men.” The inclusion of more diverse modern scholars will make the entrance feel less “alienating,” he said.
