The Harvard Law School should follow the Pope: We don't want your dirty money.

The Pope does not want dirty money, "profit from the blood of those abused, treated as slaves, workers with poorly paid jobs."
VATICAN CITY, Holy See (AFP) — Pope Francis Wednesday issued a stinging rebuke to rich patrons who offer the Church dirty money gained through exploitation, telling them to take back their cheques and burn them.
"I think of some benefactors of the Church that say 'take this offer for the Church', and it is profit from the blood of those abused, treated as slaves, workers with poorly paid jobs," he told the faithful on Saint Peter's Square.
"I say to these people: 'Please, take back your cheque, burn it' (from JamaicaObserver)
Meanwhile, Harvard Law School has voted to replace its shield which honors an extremely cruel slave owner who gave the school some money. The slave owner was "known for "extreme cruelty", including burning 77 slaves alive."

Why stop at replacing the shield? Return the money.
