OKLAHOMA CITY — The University of Oklahoma released a statement Monday after a history teacher read during class from a historical document that used a racial slur.

Interim OU President Joseph Harroz said the faculty member read from a historical document that “repeatedly” used the N-word. He said the professor issued a “trigger warning” before reading but agreed that the word never should have been used.

Heck, I’m not even going to do that if it has a proper purpose in discourse at the time. Same thing the word “fag”, although I prefer poofter.

OU (Okie U), the late home of Free Speech. Hey asshats administrators. Oklahoma has more important problems than someone reading an actual document, accurately.

Just look at the drug crimes and criminals in Tulsa as shown on “Live PD” (plus Norman, Oklahoma City, etc.

Deal with reality, not political correctness. A campus is supposed to be a “free speech” zone. Tulsa is NOT supposed to be a “Shooting Gallery” (drugs or guns, or both).

Fix the real problem instead of creating a fake PC one.
