The University of Oklahoma is defending its decision to offer students in greek life a series of “unlearning” workshops on topics such as racism, sexism, ableism, and classism.

OU Student Affairs, the Women’s and Gender Studies Program, and the Center for Social Justice are jointly sponsoring "Unlearning: Workshops for the Greek Community," the first of which is scheduled to take place Friday, with seven additional sessions throughout April, according to OU Daily.

OU is challenging UT to be the Berkeley of the Big 12 = 10.

Can they unlearn being spoiled brats, or unlearn all of the perverted garbage the media has taught them? Or unlearn the fake history they’ve been taught?

That would be a good start.

The USSR used to call it “re-education”. Perhaps they too had an initial step called “unlearning”.

"Unlearning workshops"!

Now, there's an apt descriptive term for Progressive activity in many schools, colleges, and universities across America for decades now.

Sheesh. When I was in a sorority back in the olden days (1988-1992) we were only interested in drinking and meeting cute boys. How times have changed.

“Re-Education Camps,” or “trại học tập cải tạo” in Vietnamese, was the official designation given to the prison camps operated by the Communist government of Vietnam following the end of the Vietnam War.

Linguistically, “Re-education Camp” doesn’t quite capture the literal translation of “trại học tập cải tạo,” which in Vietnamese means “an attempt at re-creation, and making over sinful or incomplete individuals.”

Without any meaningful or rational judicial process, the communist government imprisoned up to 300,000 former military officers, government workers and supporters of the former government of South Vietnam.

Prisoners were subjected to intensive political indoctrination and were forced to pen confessions for “war crimes” they didn’t commit. Torture and abuse at the camps were rampant.

Prisoners were subjected to hard manual labor that was often dangerous, like sweeping fields for mines. Death from starvation and disease was common. Some prisoners were incarcerated for more than a decade, if they survived.

Soon, the terror in Vietnam reached a fever pitch as the country, buckled by two decades of economic hardship and international war, descended into chaos.

I remember when sororities and fraternities were about panty raids and stuffing people into phone booths and VW Bugs....................

Personally, I think its a good idea. Take unlearning sexism. We could all learn to see women as the nagging harpies they are instead of the annointed victims they pretend to be. When they start bitching, imagine the freedom of just grabbing the garden hose and letting em have it. Relearning to say “shut up” instead of having to pretend what they say is important. I think it sounds great.

The Greek system has always been a target of those who claim no interest in rushing but who nevertheless resent any club, society or fraternal organization of which they are not a member.

Chancellor Boren = Homo..... what else would you expect from a faggot?

LOL! Personally, women have had their day and their say, beat down the men and are running the schools and the churches, and plenty of institutions with Hollywood for brains. Look around.

Ivanka proves to be no great help, propping up the Lefty mission to flog non-existent offenses, while missing the point. The decay of civilization is not helped by making it worse with special interests and division of purpose.

“Unlearning: Workshops for the Greek Community”

Another good one would be, “F you to death: Good advice for the SJW community.”

On the bright side, the campus student Catholic center and program at St. Thomas More parish at OU is simply outstanding. If you are a Catholic OU alum especially, consider kicking in some $ this Lent.

Isn’t this stereotyping of “the Greek community?”
