Oklahoma university president: School is not a ‘day care’ or ‘safe space’

[WestVirginiaRebel]

NY Daily News:

An Oklahoma university president has an incendiary message to politically correct students: Grow up or get out.

 

"This is not a day care," Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, wrote in a fiery blog post on the school’s website last week.

 

"This is a university!"

 

Thanks to a new wave of political protests on college campuses — like the recent upheavals at the University of Missouri, Yale University and Ithaca University — many colleges are scrambling to provide safe spaces and broader discussions about cultural and racial tensions on campus.

 

Piper, president of a private evangelical Christian university with about 1,200 students, is having none of it.

 

His post starts by railing against a student who said he felt “victimized” by an on-campus sermon about love.

 

"Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic!" Piper writes.

 

"Any time their feelings are hurt, they are the victims!...If you want the chaplain to tell you you’re a victim rather than tell you that you need virtue, this may not be the university you’re looking for."

No safe spaces for you!

A person who complains that a lecture or sermon made him feel bad is not ready for college. The colleges and universities can put a stop to the present nonsense by admitting only students who are ready for college work.

*In my experience it would take a liberal Christian --or a reproductive biologist-- around 2 seconds to find an idea that the President of this evangelical university would find his students needing to be protected from.

 

My response...

* Wanna bet?
