Racist emails sent to the University of Texas amid a debate over the school song “The Eyes of Texas” were “abhorrent and hateful” but don’t truly represent the Longhorns’ alumni and fans, university President Jay Hartzell said Tuesday.
Hartzell was responding to a report published Monday by the Texas Tribune that featured emails sent by school supporters angry that a group of football players had refused to sing the traditional song after games because of its historical links to racist minstrel shows.
The Texas Tribune reported that the vast majority of more than 300 emails it received in a public records request demanded the school keep the song, and dozens warned that donors would withhold money if players didn’t get in line. Several said Black players should leave the school if they don’t want to sing.
Since Monday, at least two former players have tweeted they received threats from Texas fans for protesting the song.

If the players don’t like the school song — they should transfer to another school.
Why is that so hard to understand?
Sounds to me as though this Teasip Prezidunce needs to be sent packing. Maybe the University of Beijing could put these tool to use.
Guns Up!
The Alumni need to have a talk with him.
Preferably one involving a horse, some rope, and a cactus patch.
Next they’ll find the song “Oklahoma” is a racist song as well.
Extremist if you’re a conservative. Activist if you’re a liberal. Got it.
Seems like an obvious and simple solution.
Did the football players sign an agreement with The University that requires them to sing the Eyes of Texas?
Which Republicans were asleep when this person was appointed?
Republicans/conservatives surrendered higher education years ago. All they care about is the football team. Harassed conservative students, not so much.
I am waiting for wokeness to come to Lubbock for the guns.

Here’s a thought. When something is “hateful” and “Abhorrent” don’t listen to it and don’t read it.
Sadly though. I find abortion abhorrent and hateful. But there’s nothing I can really do about it and the disgusting abhorrent hateful democrats are going to make me pay for aborting babies. And this punk can’t deal with emails?

Just take your no count butts elsewhere and leave Texas alone. Time for a ride through the cactus patch.
