>> “Oxford will not rewrite history”.

Curious what the Oxford Dictionary has in mind for the word: racism.

Oxford should revoke their scholarships and send them packing. Enough of this BS.

The letter (below) is a response from Oxford University to black students attending as Rhodes Scholars who demand the university remove the statue of Oxford Benefactor, Cecil Rhodes.

No, it isn't.

I wish some of the letter really had been sent by Oxford, but anyone who believes any British university would stand up to the PC mob in any way, let alone this way, is dreaming.

Wait, this is REAL? This was really addressed to the racists in black robes and matching masks and hats?

I approve of the statement by Chris Patten.
He understands what is going on.
Changing history is what communists and socialists do and it should not be tolerated.

Minor point: The fourth word in the headline should be HAD, not HAS.

Correct. Read it, did not sound right, but went on to read the leter which was well done. Autres temps, autres moeurs means "other times other customs."

Sorry, but it was printed in Breibart in 2015 under the subheading of: “Here is the letter that Oriel College should have written to the campaigners from Rhodes Must Fall.”

Don’t you have a link for this? you must have gotten it from somewhere. I’m proud the my much loved brother [now deceased] chose Oxford for his own higher education.

I couldn’t believe that Oxford would have the courage to issue such a letter. So I checked. Unfortunately, Oxford does not have the courage. The letter is evidently FAKE.

Reuter’s article about this:
