Not even close. So many out there think like you do. I worked on this project with my students and I can tell you this has been something that has been in the works for some time, this isn’t a PR stunt by any means. In fact the university higharchy or the church didn’t even know of our project until the last few weeks. We’ve been planning this for about a year and started traveling and shooting back in early May. The Black 14 were invited to campus at our request, in the school of communications, to coincide with this long planned game against Wyoming, not the university’s invite. I would say the Lord has remarkable timing! The documentary that we did on their story can be seen here. This is about way more than a headline and these are great men doing great things.

And why were you so worked up over this?

Sounds like much ado about nothing.

Either these men were directly defying God's commands, or our prophet was committing blasphemy by putting his own words in God's mouth.

But instead of dealing directly with either circumstance, we will just virtue signal a bit and hope this bandaged up old church can continue on for a little while longer before it completely tears itself apart.

I'm confused.

From what I can tell.

BYU didn't do anything.

So.

Why does BYU have to make ammends?

It looks more like a "Woke" attention seeking stunt.

By the actually UnWoke professorotti.

Foisted on a naive student body.

Of course.

The Church hierarchy will play along.

They seek attention too.

Women and children leading us straight to hell.

Clue.

One cannot give Honors.

When does not have any Honor to give.

BYU is an empty suit eating up the seed corn.

Time to donate it to Deseret Industries.

It's the right thing to do.

Was it the right thing to do when Missouri and Illinois state governments passed official resolutions apologizing for historical discrimination against the saints? Of course it was.

It is ridiculous for people to apologize for things they had nothing to do with.

Not in my opinion.

Only weak people need appeasement from people who have nothing to be sorry for.

Meaningless gestures.

Generate Meaningless thoughts.

And Meaningless thoughts.

Create vacuous people.

Don't we already have enough of those?

The past is dead.

The future is unknown.

The present is all we have.

Let's focus on things that are more important.

Like what's for dinner.
