Students at an Oklahoma City high school say a college recruiter told them to line up by skin color and then by whether their hair was "nappy" or straight.

"He led a racist activity that was offensive, harmful and inappropriate. I'm embarrassed and I'm ashamed and I'm mad at what happened and I'm very, very sorry," Oklahoma Christian University President John deSteiguer said at a meeting Sunday. "Within an hour after the school visit, the admissions counselor was no longer employed at the university.

"That's when I felt uncomfortable. I was like, 'OK, I don't think this is right,'" the first student said."They were crying and they were offended. Their faces just looked disgusted. I know they had a talk with him after, like, 'That's not OK,'" the student told the station.said staff members immediately reported what was happening to school administrators, who contacted the university.

Stefanick said the school has had a strong relationship with the university for years and has never had a problem like this.

The recruiter did not develop his views that day. He probably demonstrated them and expressed them way before that. It was more than likely simply the first time he got caught and had to answer publicly. Look for other events!

They're just following the already established path of socialist identity politics in our school system

Sounds like the liberal way of doing things!! They always separate ppl into categories based on race instead of thinking of EVERY citizen as a Canadian

Someone better get fired. Despicable!

totally freakin sickening behavior by that recruiter

A dummkopf for sure.

Wrong just plane wrong...for shame ❤️🇨🇦

Laws and government policies are based on race and gender.
