Oklahoma State U. Official Allegedly Admonished Student for Charlie Kirk Tribute
“As a person who doesn’t look like you and has not had the same lived experience as you, I have family who don’t look like you who are triggered”
She supposedly said it could be triggering. Do you think it was as triggering as seeing Kirk get murdered?

Oklahoma State U. official admonishes student for Charlie Kirk tribute: could be ‘triggering’
The coordinator of student-government programs at Oklahoma State University allegedly reprimanded a student who gave a small tribute to Charlie Kirk at a meeting just hours after Kirk’s assassination.
According to the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs, Josh Wilson, a member of the OSU student government and debate society, “took a few moments to speak to fellow students” at a Student Government Association meeting that had been scheduled the day of Kirk’s murder.
“Wilson’s Sept. 10 speech contained no references to Trump, nor did it advocate for the election of any political figure or call for support of any political party,” according to the report.
“Instead, Wilson called Kirk ‘a father, a husband, a devout Christian, and a shining light for so many,” and “recalled that during Kirk’s April visit to OSU, Kirk was able to ‘provoke discussion and dialogue among countless students on this campus.’”
But during the talk, Wilson wore a hat emblazoned with “45 47,” given to him by Kirk a few months prior.
This apparently did not sit well with OSU’s Melisa Echols, who later informed Wilson his hat could “trigger” some students.
“As a person who doesn’t look like you and has not had the same lived experience as you, I have family who don’t look like you who are triggered—and I will be very candid with you—who are triggered by those hats and by that side,” Echols said.
Ironically, Wilson (pictured) is Native American — a member of the Cherokee Nation.
Echols also claimed wearing the hat was a violation of SGA rules (“partisanship”), but the school itself told the OCPA that, although the student government “has a nonpartisan tradition,” there are “no official policies to restrict partisan expression,” and the SGA “has not enacted or enforced such a policy.”
Echols did not respond to the OCPA’s request for comment.

“As a person who doesn’t look like you and has not had the same lived experience as you, I have family who don’t look like you who are triggered”
“This is a great learning opportunity for them, in which you should be there as their mother, to teach them to grow the f* up, just as you should.”
Life is triggering. Deal with it. Being triggered is good, it should bring some introspection but it’s beyond them.
The best answer to that “official” is to have a big hearty laugh out loud. Then when asked to explain, you tell the official that they seem to be easily offended for a supposed adult. Then remind them that conservatives only get “triggered” when leftists like that person comes near to physically being assaulted.

I wonder if people wearing kefiyahs is as triggering. Sure gets my hackles up. Do yarmulkes trigger them, too?
Hurting peoples’ feelings is a felony
OSU’s Melisa Echols has Katie Porter level obesity. What is it about fat, left wing women?
