Too bad most current Republicans would reject out of hand Dr. King's views on poverty.

The University of Missouri is now suffering a huge budget shortfall of $32 million as a result of severely curtailed enrollment.

Mizzou Facing A Huge Budget Shortfall After Political Correctness Fiasco

The University of Missouri (MU) is losing about 1500 students and is facing a huge $32 million budget shortfall four months after it attracted national attention as the site of massive race-based campus protests.

“I am writing to you today to confirm that we project a very significant budget shortfall due to an unexpected sharp decline in first-year enrollments and student retention this coming fall. I wish I had better news,” said MU interim chancellor Hank Foley in a Wednesday letter to school staff that was obtained by Fox Sports.

Because of the abrupt and unexpected nature of the shortfall, Foley is taking immediate and severe steps to fix the situation: The school budget is being cut 5 percent across the board, all hiring is being frozen (barring exceptional circumstances), and annual raises have been canceled.
Of course this is understandable, as any prospective students with any significant degree of intelligence would be embarrassed to be associated with such a foolish institution. So it appears that this spectacularly mishandled episode is financially backfiring in addition to everything else. Apparently capitulating to these misbehaving children and their politically correct demands is not as popular as the leaders of this and other universities around the country had hoped.

They apparently need trigger warnings now before hearing quotes from Martin Luther King. So it is back to their 'safe space', where they do not have to be confronted with this sort of racist and intolerant rhetoric (according to them).
I refuse to believe our kiddos are this completely and utterly screwed up. I flat out refuse to believe it.

His father was a Republican.

MLK Jr. was not registered with any political party and no wear can you find evidence of him being a Republican or even supporting them. However each of his children and his wife have spoken at Democratic National Conventions. The men and women who marched with him also all identify as Democrats including 7 who correctly serve in congress and a couple who no longer do.

What these students are mad about is that what they are advocating is directly the opposite of what MLK so brilliantly envisioned in his famous quote above. We have seen these people establish "black only" safe spaces at the University of Missouri, which is an act of racist segregationism if ever there was one. What they want is to promote and protect racial divisiveness, in no small part because of the special protections and rights they want to claim for themselves under the auspices of 'Political Correctness'.

So here we see the the PC crowd opposing some of the most racially harmonious speech ever uttered, because that would undermine their claim to special privileges based on their skin color.
Not one "black" person's picture on that student board so have a stadium of seats.

Too many of you have and always have had an unhealthy, crazed obsession with "black" people.
