On an American college campus, where else?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>At the University of Oklahoma, the protest dogs have been sicced on the term \u201cSooner,\u201d which happens to be the name of the university\u2019s sports teams and the state nickname. Surprisingly, the offended students aren\u2019t wanting the name pulled from the school (at least, not yet) but re-worded for a sexual assault prevention program that\u2019s called \u201cOne Sooner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s why that is offensive according to the campus snowflakes: it invokes violence towards Native Americans and isn\u2019t \u201cinclusive.\u201d However, \u201csooner\u201d was a derogatory term applied to settlers who traveled West to secure unclaimed territory in and around Oklahoma in the 1889 Land Rush. It also has nothing to do with sexual assault, it\u2019s just the name of a program. But it must go!<\/p>\n<p>And so, a list of demands \u2014 a must-have on today\u2019s crybaby campuses \u2014 was released calling for the program to be renamed something that isn\u2019t racially insensitive. But that\u2019s not all! The SJWs are after far more than a name change. Their demands go straight to the top.<\/p>\n<p>This month, OU President David Boren wrote an article in the school newspaper on sexual assault and encouraged students to do everything they can to help in its prevention, from looking out for each other to making sure students don\u2019t put themselves into compromising situations. Sounds like great advice right? Wrong! That\u2019s the cardinal sin of victim blaming and the snowflakes have demanded an apology from Boren; one in which he must specifically use the phrases, \u201cI believe you\u201d and \u201cit\u2019s not your fault.\u201d Line 4 of the list of demands states:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Boren\u2019s apology must include the phrase \u201cI am sorry,\u201d because this is how apologies work.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The president must agree to the demands or resign, the letter states, because he \u201cis guilty of perpetuating rape culture\u201d at OU. Boren has met with the students but at this point hasn\u2019t apologized OR resigned.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many reactions to this but I believe it\u2019s best summed up in a comment at <a href=\"http:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2016\/10\/20\/oklahoma-campus-protestors-hate-term-sooner-racism\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\" decorated-link\" rel=\"nofollow\">The Federalist<\/a>. Reader Ron Harvey NAILS the perfect response. Let\u2019s hope President Boren uses his computer\u2019s \u201ccopy &amp; paste\u201d function in his \u201capology:\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI believe\u201d that you are the worst bunch of students ever admitted to our fine school. \u201cIt\u2019s not your fault\u201d that you made it in, what with all of the loopholes through which students without the ability to reason are able to slip into our Freshman classes.<br>\n\u201cI\u2019m sorry\u201d that you are unable to get along with your fellow students and thrive in our wonderful, rigorous, academic environment. I suspect that you do not belong here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The mind of the average progressive is a mystery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2673,"featured_media":1447,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 -
