WestVirginiaRebel Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 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!

Valin Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Washington PostComment LindaRetiredTeacher 11/30/2015 2:14 PM CST 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. Uselessboy7:27 AM CST*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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
