The University of Montana is facing criticism from leftists around the country after a white student won the university’s annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day essay contest. According to the school, only white students participated in this year’s contest.
According to a report by the College Fix, the University of Montana is facing criticism over its decision to name a white student as the winner of its Martin Luther King Jr. essay contest. The university has defended itself by criticizing those who have argued that white students should not be permitted to write essays promoting equality and justice.
There is another problem with the position of the university’s critics. Although the essays were reviewed by a panel of both white and black judges, only white students submitted essays.
Despite this, Facebook users were quick to criticize the University of Montana over the outcome of the essay contest.

Those critics don't sound very inclusive.

ReplyDeleteI guess a white student winning was just a little too 'diverse' for these lefties.
If I was the winner, I'd laugh in their face and say 'Where's your essay?'
maybe he knew more about MLK than they did
ReplyDeleteAnd they call the folk racist
ReplyDeleteI’m sure leftists are too stupid to realize that this could be related to probability. Don’t know what the numbers are and don’t care enough to look, but my guess is that there aren’t a whole lot of African Americans at U Montana.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't they have a few of them put on some blackface.Problem solved.
ReplyDeleteI thought Dr King wanted us to be judged on our merits and the content of our hearts, not the color of our skin. The judging of someone who is white is the exact opposite of what Dr King wanted. Color should not be a determining factor in an essay contest the color of the writer's skin is not visible but the content of their character and heart is what the written words display..
ReplyDeleteOH MY, we will have to take down that MLK monument in D.C !!
