UT Disappoints
I always had such pride that I sent my girl from Park Slope, Brooklyn to UT not knowing a soul. When I stepped foot on this university campus in 2005 the first thing that I noticed was it's diversity. OK, not Brooklyn diversity with Black and White, but ethnic diversity. Asian, Latino, East Asian and even kids raised in the suburbs of Houston! But today I am saddened and ashamed. To think that someone would think they could get away with pinning signs on students with "Illegal Immigrant" and rewarding a $25 gift card if you catch one. I am married to a son of Holocaust survivors. He and his sister were the first set of twins born in Berlin in 1946 that were not gassed for being Jewish. Their father was taken to Siberia when they were only ten weeks old. This after surviving the death camps. My in-laws wore Jewish stars identifying themselves as Jews to the populace. I will protest and be counted as someone who loves UT and volunteers her services to students but will criticize every racist behavior and action that occurs on this campus.
