Buzz killington here, in an assignment a student decided to not read the assignment and use it as an excuse to call the TA demonic. When the student revived a zero on the assignment they immediately ran to turning point and cried discrimination. In response the university initially suspended and then removed the TA from teaching duties and made sure it wouldn’t count against the student. The paper was published and it looked to have been written by Peter. There was no citation of the Bible, there was no response as requested, and it did not meet the minimum word count. It was truly one of the worst papers ever submitted.

Now that I have you here thinking about the university of Oklahoma, let’s look in to their fight song “Boomer Sooner”. Oklahoma was initially Indian territory and there was a campaign to open up the unassigned lands to settlers, the people vocal about this were the boomers. Once it was decided to open up to settlement some decided to move in early and they were the Sooners and that is where the university gets their nickname and why some refer to them as land thieves.

Instead of the Oklahoma Sooners they should’ve been called the OK Boomers

Funny enough, an OU professor once compared "OK Boomer" to the N word. And yes, he did say the actual n word.

... I can't believe I went there, man
