About damn time someone took him down

The school's in New Hampshire and he's the only president from the state. That's quite literally it.

You can certainly question the rationale given Pierce's track record, but I say it's fitting considering the school's president quit just eight days after opening

Probably still could beat Buchanan University

[u/Mythrandir24 → u/viewless25]

Pierce has a losing record to Buchanan.

Hey, that’s President who gave Kansas its existence Franklin Pierce! (who then immediately sided with the proslavers)

Always thought the same thing. Dude's main legacy is basically being the guy right before the Civil War who did absolutely nothing to stop it.

At least the school's in New Hampshire so it makes some geographic sense.

[u/ZachOf_AllTrades → u/Crazy_Elk_8442]

You may be thinking of Buchanan. Pierce was right before him though, and wasn't much better

[u/TheJeniceri → u/[deleted]]

There weren’t many options at the time
