This higher ed pop quiz will make your jaw drop

How bad is the state of higher education in Oklahoma? Take this shocking pop quiz to find out — but be warned — it is not for the faint of heart.

Higher education watchdog Brandon Dutcher poses this question: An Oklahoma university president told reporters that a certain activity is “morally wrong” — even called it a “sin.” Your job as quiz taker is to guess which of these items — culled from the headlines in recent years — prompted the denunciation. (A similar version of this quiz was first reported by See Thru Edu.)

Remember, only one item is the correct answer:

Oklahoma State University held its annual “Dragonfly” drag show in which students competed for best drag queen and drag king. The show “is adult in nature,” OSU has warned, “and is not recommended for those under the age of 18.”

Oklahoma State University hosted a “trans homoeroticism” lecture and slideshow.

After becoming aware of a hip-hop artist whose lyrical stylings include “f*ck the police,” “you went to jail as a b*tch, came home as a dyke,” “these niggas was robbing your sh*t,” and lyrics muchmuch worse than that, OU agreed to pay him $40,000 to perform on campus.

When the clock ran out on a student representing the University of Oklahoma in a national college debate tournament, he refused to yield the floor, yelling: “F*** the time!”

University of Central Oklahoma launched a program geared toward “bisexual, gay, lesbian, transgender, intersex, asexual, queer, questioning, and allied students.”

The University of Oklahoma student newspaper distributed 11,000 latex condoms by attaching them to the front of the newspapers.

The University of Oklahoma “Assistant Director for LGBTQ and Health Programs” (yes, that’s an actual job title) announced the opening of a separate-but-equal “LGBTQ lounge” on campus.

Some Oklahomans believe government subsidies to higher education should be reduced.

OK — “pencils down” — as teachers used to say. Now comes time for the big reveal. Spoiler alert – the answer to the quiz is forthcoming. But you probably already guessed which one it is, haven’t you, clever test-taker?

There is only one answer that sticks out like a sore thumb. Only one answer that we all know makes leftists shake with anger. That’s right — any mention of reducing taxpayer-funded higher ed coffers sends progressives into apoplectic shock.

“Slashing higher education budgets ‘morally wrong,’ OU President David Boren says,” reported Tulsa World in April. “David Boren: ‘What we’re doing to our children is a sin,'” added Nondoc.com.

“Nobody cares more about their children and grandchildren than we do,” Boren is quoted as saying. “And I think those who think it is politically wise to avoid asking people to pay for something they need to pay for — and that’s a good education for their children — I think they’re making a mistake. I think they’re misreading the public mood.”

Somehow, after taking this quiz, we’re not so convinced.
