An excellent read.

From the Oxford Rhodes Scholars Program to black students who want a statue of Cecil Fhodes removed from the campus. They really burn them a new asshole in a humorous way.

While I wish an institution of higher learning would have the testicular fortitude to make a statement like this, I seriously doubt it in this day and age. The "Elites" at Oxford are part of the problem, not the solution.

There were so many good quips in that article. If I had to pick one, I'd probably pick ' ungrateful little tossers '.

Very nice, quick read that drives home what a lot of us feel. I wish the universities, high schools, and elementary schools would do that over here. As long as I'm dreaming, how about corporate America and organizations like SHRM.

It's worth noting that this was from back in 2016, and Oxford University is in fact allowing the statue to be removed.

Also worth noting that this was not written by Oxford at all.

Brough to Oxford to receive a free education better than any offered
on home continent.
Decides the guy that started this program should be removed from public eye.
Irony at the Oxford level.

I will file this in the "no shit" folder. I mean reading the damn thing....."We are a big deal". I would believe Ricky Bobby wrote it before I believed the Chancellor of any University or 3 month cosmetology school actually published this. Doesn't mean it isn't filled with truth though. The way I understood it was a response to the issue...more of a "this is what we are all thinking but no one will actually say out loud" type of letter. But then the internet does what it does and here we are.

Idolatry of any kind is a slippery slope. Take the best of what you can learn from what others have done, learn from their mistakes as well, and exercise it within your own life. All men of bronze turn green with time, but alternately don't let people convince you that all men of dirt turn gold.

What Oxford should have done is agreed, immediately removed the statue, and announced that since they found Rhodes so horrible, obviiously, in good faith and adorably, they couldnt accept his money so the scholarship was being terminated, effective now, and BTW, how would you like to make your tuition and board payments this year?

Oxford has long been a NWO indoctrination center. Rhodes was always backed by the money power you dare not mention, in his extraction of resources. His wealth via the Rhodes Scolarships brought you the likes of Slick Willie. It is hilarious that the now-enlightened rabble tore his statue down, before returning to Africa and emulating Mugabe.

great letter. I knew it wasn't from Oxford, but a great read none the less.

Oxford needs burned along with the Ivy's here.

I would disagree with the burning, that's as bad as the left tearing down statues. We need great universities. Lets say they need to be re aligned to teach facts and stimulate inquisitive minds with out brainwashing them into a narrow frame of reference. That likely involves replacing 90% of the professors.
