University of Oklahoma: ‘It’s Your Fault’ if You Deny Privilege
MRCTV ^ | February 22, 2106 | Ashley Rae Goldenberg

The University of Oklahoma is kicking off the “Year of Diversity” by trying to shame students into admitting their “privilege.”

The Gallogly College of Engineering website states the school will “celebrate diversity” through events that “enhance awareness of the issues faced by underrepresented members of our engineering community and promote GCoE’s inclusive climate that is welcoming of all differences.”

Looks like OU has become the Berkeley of the Plains.

I remember back in the old days when we used to call this brainwashing. Difference now is it’s right out in the open. Unbelievable.

A College of Engineering beclowns itself by playing the no IQ “privilege” game.

That sort of crap belongs only where intellect and academic standards have been flushed...e.g., in “studies” departments.

Calculus, diff eq, and circuit theory will take care of that “privilege” excrement in the engineering dept.

So if some white, oriental, or Indian (from India) decides to be an engineer, has the brains to pull it off, he is privileged? And needs to be shamed for being smart? Or having the work ethic just to do all the work to get the engineering degree?

The bubbling idiots just want to bring everyone down to their level. And they think shaming is the tool. What they don’t realize is there is a counter-revolution brewing in America. It’s why Trump is so popular. Those pulling the wagon are beginning to show revolt to those that are riding the wagon and burning it up at the same time.

If this counter-cultural-revolution ever gets violent, betcha the dumb asses trying to shame the smart get their just due.

The key is to become an oppressed minority. Gay, Tran, even change your race. After all, asking you to verify these things is a Hate Crime.

Oriental refers to objects, not people.

Areas like engineering and the hard sciences used to be relatively immune to this left wing political BS. Liberalism is a cancer that metasticizing and spreading to every facet of life in Obama’s “transformed” America. Heaven help us.

Appears the Boardwalk has migrated to the millennials and homos. Where do all the country boys hang out now?

Not according to Oxford, Merriam-Webster, or Collins.

Are all the universities becoming UC Berkeleys?

You have to remember that David Boren is running OU, so the liberal BS should be no surprise.

...underrepresented members of our engineering community....

Those, I assume, would be people who don’t have the chops for math and complex reasoning.

I feel that my group, old overweight women, is underrepresented in the NFL. Who will champion my cause?

Really all I see is minority privilege and minority racism in America.

Yes... you want your airplanes and building engineered by the most diverse engineers, not by the most qualified.

Start by firing all of these people and replacing them with minorities. (It’s what they want)

I grew up as a huge fan of OU football, but I'm now embarrassed to be an OU grad.

It's not like my degree is doing me any good, anyway.
