I know I'm going to sound a little like John Belushi in Animal House here but I just don't understand when people say you should just let an injustice go.
Did we let it go when the British were taxing our tea?
Did we let it go when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor?
Did Rosa Parks let it go when she was aksed to move to the back of the bus?
Did we let it go when Hitler invaded Kuwait? (this is a joke folks)
I thought this country was founded on recognizing an injustice and standing up for what you believe is right and fighting for change. Maybe its just our changing society. My father taught me to stand up for anything I felt was wrong or unjust and fight for it. When someone tells you to be quiet about it, I think they're just hoping it will go away.
In no way am I advoacting death threats or some of the stupid things people have done. What I am saying is I have no problem with Stoops and Boren standing up for their University and asking for a correction of a problem.
Yes, its just football. We all know that. But this garbage about it being a life lesson and learing to accept injustices is just not the way I was raised.
