The Texas chapter of the NAACP, the organization's chapter at the University of Texas at Austin, and several anonymous students at the university filed a federal civil rights complaint Friday alleging the fostering of a "hostile environment" for black students with its alma mater song, "The Eyes of Texas."

The complaint, obtained by the Texas Tribune, alleges school officials violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by failing to address the claims of black students and others who say they have suffered racial harassment because of the song at university events.

The complaint says the song, played at the university for over 100 years, has a "racially offensive origin, context and meaning."

According to the complaint filed with the U.S. Department of Education�s Office of Civil Rights, the university's decision to have separate marching bands for students who want to play the song and students who do not violates the equal protections established under the 14th Amendment.-- excerpt, rest at link above --

But that will have zero effect on the "justice" department!

This is a state song, and if we succumb to the jackasses who wish to destroy it, we ourselves will be destroyed

And if the Hate mongers wish to attack a school song, go after the school song "I've been working on the railroad, all the lifelong day"

Historians of the future will have a hard time figuring out how so many organized groups of strident jackasses succeeded in leading us around by the nose and morally intimidating the majority into silence.

This is just a continuation of the Marxist tactic of attacking anything that normal, rational people value. The President of UT is, like the Mayor of Austin, a Marxist.
