At Oklahoma Wesleyan University, the university president pushed back.
When a student recently was offended by a university chapel service—one that encouraged students to love one another—President Everett Piper wrote a blog in response.
“This is not a day care. This is a university,” he wrote. Piper added, “If you want the chaplain to tell you you’re a victim rather than tell you that you need virtue, this may not be the university you’re looking for. If you want to complain about a sermon that makes you feel less than loving for not showing love, this might be the wrong place.”
In a later interview with Fox News, Piper expanded on the thoughts he expressed in his blog. “The bottom line is that at the end of the day I would argue that college is not about safe spaces or being a safe place,” he said. (Fox News)
