As American youth regress toward an infantile state of development, one university president has finally had enough of the nonsense. Everett Piper, president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, had a wake-up call recently that prompted him to write an open letter to the student body.
So what happened that caused him to speak out against this madness? Per a report at TheBlaze:
“This past week, I actually had a student come forward after a university chapel service and complain because he felt ‘victimized’ by a sermon on the topic of 1 Corinthians 13,” Piper explained in his letter posted to the school’s website. “It appears that this young scholar felt offended because a homily on love made him feel bad for not showing love! In his mind, the speaker was wrong for making him, and his peers, feel uncomfortable.” (snip)
“I’m not making this up,” he continued. “Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic! Any time their feelings are hurt, they are the victims! Anyone who dares challenge them and, thus, makes them ‘feel bad’ about themselves, is a ‘hater,’ a ‘bigot,’ an ‘oppressor,’ and a ‘victimizer.’”
Piper’s letter ended with: “This is not a day care. This is a university!” (To read his letter in full, see here.)
Hallelujah!

Oklahoma Wesleyan has a decent reputation in our state and in the immediate area. President Piper is a frequent quest on a popular Tulsa morning drive time talk show. He speaks his mind and WILL be backed up by his Trustees.

Standing up to the snowflakes bookmark.
Eileen Brennan was a treasure. That was her best role.
I bet he gets forced out soon.
We are turning out a generation of pussies makes you wonder how even sorrier the next generation will be.
He probably has “white privilege” also.
At some point the administrators of the high-rent playpens are going to wake up to the fact that this sort of stuff is incredibly corrosive to academic reputation. For certain schools that may not matter; for others already creaking under the strain of increasing tuition and massive student loans, it may begin to matter where it didn't before.
Reminds me of something that happened to me years ago. Was doing bookkeeping for a small family business. College ‘graduate’ family member wanted to work at the family business.
He had no accounting classes nor any bookkeeping experience.
However, his Dad got squeezed —0dominating Mom—into telling me that I was being terminated in 2 weeks, so that his son could take over MY JOB. Then I was informed by both the Dad & the son that I was to TEACH the kid how to do the job. He had absolutely no experience nor any background in anything like this job.
I WALKED OUT THE DOOR.
Last I heard, the kid didn’t last a month. NO PAYROLL CHECK was correct for 4 ++ weeks. Other 4 employees were revolting against the kid over incorrect paychecks.
I didn’t cry a single tear. Was working within 2 days elsewhere.

So let me see if I have got this right. Parents are supposed to spend the first five years of the life of a child getting them ready to enter the public education system. Then the next fifteen years are spent in retrograde operations making them suitable for recess and naps again. Right?
