Student Senate is demanding it. Very brave. No police at all on campus either.

  • Discontinue any use of "The Eyes of Texas" at all UT related events, and compose a new official school spirit song with the inclusion of BIPOC composers and musicians.23
  • [/ol]"The Eyes of Texas" was originally debuted as a song at a minstrel show where the performers were in Blackface, or theatrical makeup used by non-Black performers to portray caricatures of Black individuals. Endorsing "The Eyes of Texas" as the official school song with its explicit, anti-Black origin directly harms the Black community. As such, we call for discontinuing "The Eyes of Texas" in all UT programming, including but not limited to sporting events, orientation, commencement ceremonies, and any on campus activities, and to create a committee with proper BIPOC representation of faculty and student composers, musicians, and ethnomusicologists from the Butler School of Music, whose focus is to compose and write a new official school spirit song.

    No police on campus either...yup...nothing can possibly go wrong there!

    The second there is one sexual assault and no one to investigate the screaming will be impressive to hear!

    My guess this is all the work of super white-guilty people...

    Will they still use the music to "I've Been Working on the Railroad" or will they steal another song?

    Being from Austin, one of my favorite memories is of the LONE policeman patrolling the drag! Had to be 60+

    but had a presence that you wouldn't want to mess with !

    The city of Austin is named after the guy who specifically brought slavery to Texas, even though Mexico was banning slavery. The more slaves you brought to Texas, the more land Austin gave you (80 acres per slave). "It is in vain to tell a North American that the white population will be destroyed some fifty or eighty years hence by the negroes, and that his daughters will be violated and Butchered by them."

    He also personally orchestrated the massacre of the Kawankawa tribe.

    Until they move the university out of Austin or change the name of the city, they're not really that upset about slavery and racism

    Maybe your school should be renamed the university of Austin...although apparently Austin was not exactly the most standup guy too! As much as you all wanna be SF, that one is taken!

    Black student athletes at the University of Texas are demanding several changes, including the renaming of buildings, athletic department support of black causes and replacing "The Eyes of Texas"



    DEMANDING!!!!
    I talk to him when I am lonesome like; and I am sure he understands. When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat. For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that. ~W. Dayton Wedgefarth

    Some of the requests include long-standing flash points in the school's racial history, including renaming Robert Lee Moore Hall, Littlefield Hall, Painter Hall and James Hogg Auditorium. And the replacement of some campus statues with new sculptures representing racial diversity.

    Clearly these morons are not scholars of history and operate well outside reality. The second something bad happens, the clamoring for "security" will be deafening. I don't think tu is that stupid to cave in... but perhaps their desire to be seen as super "woke" (I believe is the term) and white guilty contrite and progressive will get the best of them.

    I'm sure the UTPD is really impressed with this. Most of them are big fans of t.u football, and some graduated from there.

    I nominate Funky Cold Medina as their new song.

    Perfect line for tu in the song is "Sheena was a man"
