 White students win MLK Day essay contest at U. Montana, outrage ensues

Dave Huber - Assistant Editor •February 1, 2020
 

The University of Montana thought it had a good idea a couple of weeks ago: It established a writing contest for the annual Martin Luther King Day holiday.

It turns out there was a problem: All of the entrants were white. Which means all the selected winners were white.

On Martin Luther King Day??

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

To be fair... There's about eight black folks in the whole state, so...  :shrug:

I dare say there are more Natives here than Latino and African combined.
