A group of “woke” liberal students at the University of Texas at Austin have filed a lawsuit against the school for creating a “hostile environment” by forcing members of its marching band to play in a separate group because they are refusing to play “The Eyes Of Texas” at football games.

You EXPEL all of them immediately so they don’t continue to cause problems.
Here’s a thought.
Transfer to another school.
AKA: Hanoi in the Hill Country
If you don’t like the music, don’t be in the band.
I don’t think band is mandatory.
Quit.
Isn’t it time to stop caving into a loud tiny group of malcontents?

I dunno. Maybe we conservatives should start filing these types of lawsuits too. I occasionally shop on Amazon. Amazon sells Stalin shirts. And that creates a hostile environment for me.
Better call Saul.
If you’re not being a pain in someone’s ass, you’re not woke.
We should do a reverse suit in court suing them for infringing on our right to play the song! So what’s next the Alamo?This is what happens when the university starts messing around with racism studies. Austin is becoming the armpit of the state of Texas. We have all these liberal asses moving there and companies that have ruined the University. I lived in Austin many moons ago and it was a fun free city with an awesome football program. No racism no people getting upset because of a song that has been a tradition for as long as the school has been playing football ...now the town is a sewer pit ruined by liberals! Abbott better step up and put his foot down on these bastards! If they win this suit guess what’s coming next they’re not gonna stop with just the song they’re going to try to remove every statue and every symbol of what made Texas great. But their biggest goal will be to demolish the Alamo! Don’t giggle about this I’m serious that is their biggest aim.. the Alamo! Why? Because this is what socialist bastards do specially coming out from the universities.
Can they play “I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” instead?
The proper response is to expel every student who is part of the suit.
Have them play Rocky Top.
For that to happen people would stop having to be terrified of what other woke people might say about them.
See, us deplorables don’t give two poots what the woke think so we cannot change the balance of power among the woke … not even by overtly mocking them at every turn (which is all they merit).
But for the woke, if they aren’t seen as adequately virtue signaling by whatever standard happens to be rumbling out of their collective anuses at the time they risk losing their credibility as being woke. That means that the woke community is inherently pulled along by the loudest malcontents in their ranks, and given that the whole proposition is driven by feels and outrage that likewise means that the more irrational the loudest malcontents are the easier time they find bullying others to parrot them.
The woke are in essence self oppressing.
Where’s Charles Whitman when you need him?
“Have them play Rocky Top.”
UT is UT, right? They’re even both “orange.”
I think they’re still looking for that tumor...
For things: these kooks must get a thrill up their leg when they can discover something to get offended by and tear down. The idiot concerns about this song appear to lack any basis in fact. See the “controversy” part of the Wikipedia article https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eyes_of_Texas
Second, this phrase “hostile environment” has become was too common. It is a legal term of art that comes from the discrimination statues, for example management not putting a stop to a culture of racy or sexist jokes and conduct created a “hostile environment” in the workplace. There is no legal protection against being in an environment you don’t like generally. Of course snow flakes have been taught exactly the opposite
When Texas comes to the SEC, they’d better understand that Tennessee is THE “UT” and “Orange”.
This is what happens when you pay more attention to football instead of what’s happening about the community. “Who cares about wokeness creeping into the campus, the football team is winning.”
So that’s racist too.
