Today, so-called “social justice” is rampant in Oklahoma higher education. Whether it’s OU imposing a coercive “diversity” regime, OSU denying a promotion to a professor who served in the Trump administration, UCO informing us that “a person could be a man or a woman or both or neither,” or any number of other examples, it’s clear that “there is an endemic rot of indoctrination, politicization, and intellectual intimidation that is eviscerating the historical purpose and nature of our institutions of higher learning.”
