SJSU Historical Revisionists Assault Wikipedia

San Jose State (SJSU) historical revisionists and their allies from other city-name-plus-the-word-state schools like San Diego State have assaulted the Wikipedia in an attempt to distort California and CSU history and limit references to San Jose's original identity (the California State Normal School).

Under the guise of technical Wikipedia rules, SJSU Wikipedia revisionists first vandalized and then eliminated a separate article devoted to the California State Normal School and also eliminated historical and other references to both the CSNS and the CSU restoration movement in San Jose. When these efforts were resisted, the principal SJSU revisionist, a self-avowed "hacker" who goes by the handle of "NewChaosX" was joined by two San Diego State alumni, who together successfully suppressed historically accurate and pertinent information and links.

This fits in with the general "San Jose State" practice of historic revisionism with respect to the school's history, identity and traditions. These revisionist efforts are dedicated to preserving the failed "SJSU" identity and denying the rights of CSU students in San Jose to identify with the State of California, and the CSU, and market themselves as CSU students and graduates.

The CSU Students of San Jose and CSU Alumni of San Jose groups urge CSU loyalists in San Jose and beyond to help resist the historical revisionism, censorship and repression of the San Jose State and San Diego State vigilantes on the Wikipedia.
