They are idiots. They assumed a school would echo their religious and social beliefs because of a label, pledged a bunch of money to it undoubtably to buy influence since they were sending their kids there, then got butthurt when the school did not in fact echo their religious and social beliefs to an acceptable fidelity. They are most definitely not randos. They sunk a lot of money into something they didn't research and now they want it back because they feel betrayed, but that's not how the donation biz works. Caveat emptor and all that.
