Texas University to require Ethnic Studies classes to STAMP OUT on-campus ‘border patrol’ parties!

Social Justice Warriors at the University of Texas-Austin gathered in protest of a fraternity party that was said to be “border patrol” themed, though the fraternity president said it was “old west” themed.

Watch below:

From NRO’s Katherine Timpf:

Liberals are upset that the University of Texas–Austin is refusing to punish students for wearing politically incorrect clothing to an off-campus party.  On Februay 7, members of Phi Gamma Delta threw an off-campus party that fraternity president Andrew Campbell said was supposed to be “western” themed. Some of the guests, however, had apparently heard it was a “border patrol” themed party, and showed up in “culturally insensitive” attire such as construction gear and sombreros, according to an article in the Daily Texan, the school’s official student newspaper.

School administrators decided that although they would work to educate the frat members about cultural sensitivity, they could not punish anyone formally because the party was off-campus. After all, a university can hardly dictate to students what to wear everywhere they go.

Here’s their statement:

Student agitators then protested:

But don’t you fear! School administrators figured out exactly how to stamp out this terrible racist evil! More ETHNIC STUDIES! Yes, they got together with the Orwellian named “Campus Climate Response Team” and are considering forcing every student to sit through racist indoctrination classes:

Garcia and the organization had a meeting with the Campus Climate Response Team on Thursday morning. The group and school officials discussed increasing funding for ethnic studies and the possibility of allowing Latino Community Affairs to have a role in the cultural-diversity requirement in the school. The response team will also mediate a discussion between fraternity members and the Latino Community Affairs.

Now I think it was a poor choice for this fraternity to hold what seems like a party mocking a minority group, but it’s no business of the University, and it certainly won’t help to increase “ethnic studies” requirements. They protested and the fraternity apologized. Now get over it.
