A former University of Oklahoma volleyball player is suing the school, claiming that she was “frozen out” from the team due to her political beliefs.
Kylee McLaughlin is suing the university and her former head coach Lindsey Gray-Walton and former assistant coach Kyle Walton. One of the complaints accuses the coaches of violating McLaughlin’s First Amendment rights.
McLaughlin claims that last summer, the volleyball team watched a documentary called 13th, a show that deals with the issue of mass incarceration of blacks. After the viewing the team held a group discussion. McLaughlin stressed she felt “one hundred percent that slavery was wrong” but also felt the doc was “slanted left” and “took some shots” at former President Trump.
The next day, McLaughlin responded on social media to reports students at the University of Texas wanted the school’s song, The Eyes of Texas, replaced due to its alleged racist past. McLaughlin said she did not find the song to be racist. For this, her head coach made her delete the post and apologize to the Texas women’s volleyball program.
According to Fox News:
She was told that she could either transfer or continue on scholarship as a typical student, not an athlete. The other option was to take a redshirt year, keep her scholarship, and practice separately from the rest of the team, the lawsuit stated. She had to take more than 10 hours of online diversity and inclusion training for a ‘Growth Plan,’ McLaughlin said.
McLaughlin claims that she was forced to take a redshirt year during the 2020-2021 season. A move that compelled her to transfer to Ole Miss for the final year of her college eligibility. OU has declined to comment but says it is aware of the lawsuit.

Sue the pants off of OU.
After she deleted the post and apologized, as ordered, she was punished anyway. She should never have given in in the first place. That's one of the things I love about President Trump. He never apologizes for things like that.
She’d Sooner be rich without the Sooners than as a Sooner grad.
Eskimo Joe smiles.
Ha! He shouldn’t smile too much. OK State coach Gundy groveled before one of his players for the sin of wearing a shirt with the logo of a conservative news site. The woke disease has infected almost all colleges and universities.
“Woke” is being used sarcastically in these cases, I know. But it is too gentle a word. I sure wish that we can come up with a better word to describe these modern fascists.
“Purgers” is more accurate, but it doesn’t have a ring to it. “Stalinists”, maybe? Any other ideas out there?
Gestapists.
Why was a college sports team watching a political video in the first place (other than indoctrination)?
Why were these “coaches” forcing the team to watch propaganda films? So, if someone disagrees with the “required” PC/Woke misinterpretation of reality, they must undergo “re-education” and ostracism. This Maoist crap has to go. Hope she bankrupts the swine.
Zackly.
The coaches were entirely off of their job description by doing that.
Lawsuits till they cry.

That is a good looking woman… And she has the right kind of brain in her head…good combination.
Did she get her jab yet even though she has zero chance of catching and dying from the Fauci Virus?
The crazy runs deep in Norman, OK.
Yes.....hiring Anita Hill was totally cray cray
I have seen UCLA baseball and softball players wear this patch on their uniforms...I find that patch to be obnoxious...Fists? Like some "black power" salute?
By the way, UCLA baseball and softball teams lost on Friday...
She is from Texas...She spent her freshman year at Oregon State...Then she transferred to Oklahoma...Now she is at Ole Miss...She is a setter...
