An Oklahoma college president stands firm by a statement he made last week that he believes college students expect too much coddling and noted that, "This is Not a Day Care. It's a University."
Dr. Everett Piper, the president of Oklahoma Wesleyan University, posted the statement to a school blog. He said he wrote it after becoming frustrated when a student complained about being "offended" by a sermon given at the Christian liberal arts college, NBC News reported. The sermon included a Bible passage about love.
"It appears that this young scholar felt offended because a homily on love made him feel bad for not showing love," Piper wrote in his post. "I'm not making this up. Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic."
His post gained national attention following recent student protests against racial discrimination and other issues on campuses across the country.
