If only they would fight the cancel culture on things that actually mattered. Such as teaching communism and not allowing conservatives to actually speak out against it, or against LGBblahblah insanity, or against wokeness, etc.. Guess the fight song is a good first step, but the universities have lots more serious problems than that.
I’ve heard it called the “anus of Texas” (and said it a few times)..
