Oklahoma Wesleyan University 'This is not a daycare"

A college president in Oklahoma is defiantly standing by his controversial view that today's students are too sensitive and too quick to play the victim card.

Dr. Everett Piper, the president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, posted a blog post on the school's website last week, saying college students expect too much coddling and declaring: "This is Not a Day Care. It's a University!"

The blog post gained attention in the wake of a growing number of students protesting racial discrimination and other issues on campuses across the country.

Piper wrote that he chose to share his frustrations publicly after a student, who has not been identified, complained about being "offended" by a sermon given at the Christian liberal arts college.

Piper said on a local radio program, "The Pat Campbell Show," that when he heard about the incident, he asked to see a copy of the sermon, thinking he might find something sarcastic or abrasive. In his opinion, the message was innocuous, Campbell said on the radio show.

  2. They'd tear each other and the universities apart for a time. Then they'd mellow out and pretty much do the same things that they're complaining about now.

  4. Pre-K through 12th grades ARE daycare, to some real extent. Kids have to graduate from that line of thinking to prepare themselves for the real world.
