Fine if the Oxford students are so offended by seeing a statue of Rhodes then get the Rhodes scholarship should be liquidated and write a check to the millions of Africans in the countries supposedly raped and pillaged as reparations.

Students at the Oxford Union voted on Tuesday night to remove the controversial statue of Cecil Rhodes with 245 ayes and 212 noes as part of a wider movement of "decolonisation" of the curriculum at the university.

Who cares what the students think? Why should we care what the students think?

They come there to learn not to teach. They will be gone in a few years and a new class will be there with different ideas of how things should be run. Why bow and scrape to please a temporary whim of temporary occupants?

To appease immature fools momentary grievances is to invite more and greater demands for further appeasement.

Tell them to go home and shut up or be expelled.

Rhodes was allegedly a closet homosexual so this must be homophobia.

The putrid odor of progressivism can overcome any university.

The obvious solution iis to kick the low IQ trolls out on their smelly Obamholes.

But, what is obvious to the intelligent is not so to the lib arts faculties of even Oxford.

Does this mean that BJ Clinton will no longer (improperly) claim to be a Rhodes scholar?
