The fact that Missouri was a slave state does not excuse the continued behavior of it’s students. Mizzou has once again failed to grasp that we are not in the Civil War days and that everyone has a right to an education. For the second straight year Mizzou has shown it’s true colors during Black History month with racially driven vandalism.
Last year cotton balls were scattered across the lawn of the Black Culture Center. Now a Kansas City Star article reports “In the early morning hours, a student painted a racial slur on a sculpture outside of Hatch residence hall.”
The student (below) Ben Elliot ironically enough has dreadlocks, but I’m sure that fact is lost on him.
