RUSH: This is from our old buddies at Campus Reform<\/a>. \u201cUniversity of Oregon students demand the removal of a statue of a pioneer. University of Oregon students and faculty are demanding the removal of an American pioneer statue on its 100th anniversary. The statue depicts a pioneer standing on a rock with a rifle slung over his shoulder and a whip in his right hand. The suspects were not identified, but the statue was vandalized in April with red spray paint on its crotch and whip. Sculptor Alexander Phimister Proctor, who designed the statue installed at the University in 1919, aimed to celebrate the achievements of pioneers… A lot of our students feel oppressed by this statue, said Bret Gilbert, coleader of the Native American Student Union.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So the Native American Student Union, Bret Gilbert, coleader, organized a protest hoping to get a lot of signatures in support of removing the statue. (impression) \u201cA lot of our students feel oppressed by this statue. I know when I walk under it I feel very inferior, said Gilbert. I don\u2019t feel that way when I\u2019m at other places on campus. I don\u2019t think that\u2019s what the university community wants us to feel like when we\u2019re here. Why, I just feel so small and insignificant, inferior when I walk by the statue of the pioneer. And it\u2019s that rifle. The rifle slung over the pioneer\u2019s shoulder, oh, that makes me so uncomfortable.\u201d Do you believe this? We\u2019re kowtowing on this now! We\u2019re kowtowing on this. Offended by a statue. This is not a Confederate hero. But it\u2019s no different than that, really.<\/p>\n

An inanimate object is making students feel inferior, and the university says (impression)\u201dWe cannot have our students feeling inferior.\u201d So we\u2019re gonna take away the statue of the pioneer. And inch by inch all of the recognition, all of the symbols of the greatness of the settlements that took place that developed this country are coming down all because leftists don\u2019t have the guts to stand up to a bunch of spoiled brat scaredy cat little kids. Feeling inferior walking by a statue because of a gun slung over the shoulder?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019re telling me these kids don\u2019t have too much time on their hands? I\u2019ll tell you, if they were really busy, if they were really engaged in living their lives, they wouldn\u2019t have time for this kind of nonsense! But there\u2019s so much prosperity in this country, there is so much abundance that they\u2019ve got all this time to sit and worry about themselves. All they do is think about themselves, it\u2019s me, me, me, me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
