Across America, historical monuments, murals, and buildings named for historical figures are being torn down and renamed amid controversy stemming from police-involved killings, most notably the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. 

While violent protesters in several major cities have taken to the streets in recent weeks to deface or destroy these landmarks, college campuses have been the sight of these types of crimes for years. In other cases, colleges have acted peacefully to remove historical symbols. In some other instances, students and faculty have called to remove these symbols of history. 

As Campus Reform has reported, schools from New England to Alaska have fallen victim to this political correctness. 

Campus Reform did a deep dive into past stories and identified more than two dozen such instances just since 2015. The interactive map below pinpoints each of the campus locations. Hover over each marker to identify the university name. For more information on the controversy at each school, scroll down the page to the number that corresponds with the name of the school.
