Dear Mr. Wilson,
Your recent comments concerning Old South dress attire seemed to hit a nerve with many. As an eighth generation Georgian ,I take offense with your councils decesion to ban clothing worn by my ancestors because you deem them as racist. Please help me understand what is racist about wearing period garb? Why do you want these children to be ashamed of their ancestors? Why am I paying university officials to publicly ridicule my children's ancestry and heritage. This decision is treading on dangerous ground, imo. If this is what you consider progress, you should set the bar a little higher. I will question state lawmakers in the coming day's on these decisions (under your leadership), and what (if anything) can be done to stop the destruction and denigration of our history .
With Regrets,

Thank you for contacting the University of Georgia to express your concern.
This choice was made by student leaders of our fraternities and sororities, and we respect their decision. Although I was only present for 15 minutes of the meeting, the term "racist" was never used and has not been used since then by the students or staff here at the university during discussions regarding this matter.
Again, thank you for sharing your concerns.

I'm 100% positive the chapters were approached first by administration. I'm not sure what the tradeoff was though.
If the kids don't have the nuts to stand up for their own traditions, not sure if I should give a damn.

Academia professors across this country have become pawns for Progressivism/Collectivism.
Unfortunately, academia is filled with pragmatists who believe in concrete practical metaphysics, and this mindset 1000% clashes with the concept of "faith", or more precisely, the religious right, and therefore much of the basis of ideology for a huge portion of Conservatives (which is a whole nother sad issue in itself).
And slowly over time, theories, ideas, and beliefs that can be substantiated by science and math and hard evidence have pushed out those that have a foundational belief system that utilizes faith in a very big way.
It has nothing to do with intellectualism or Liberals claiming to be the "smarter" party. It's simply been a slow evolution of advances in technology helping practical people win arguments over faith-based people.
And as the history of the two-party system has evolved, this culture of Academics have aligned more closely with Liberal/Progressive ideologies as a result. And as this has happened, so has the formative attempted indoctrination, brainwashing, and propagating of critical Liberal talking points, like racism, white guilt, and political correctness.
Proving theories, creating facts, and advancing technologies and way of life processes essentially began in the 50's, then gradually grew steadily through the 60's and 70's, but then began an exponential renaissance during the 80's, and then absolutely exploded straight up starting in the 90's.
And unfortunately, this created an entire generation of people indoctrinated into this new version of Liberalism. Everyone teaching them was going, "See, advances have afforded us proof of everything we say. They're wrong, we're right." And who wants to be on the side that the teachers all say are wrong?
And that generation is now who leads this country. Not the people who believe in Faith. Not the people who had to work because they couldn't afford school. Not the people who grew up without family money. But by people who's belief systems were molded by Academics who were drunk on the power of bending adolescent minds to their will.
And today's richest and most wealthy people are members of that generation who grew up in that environment. And through their wealth, they have learned the power of Collectivism, and utilizing this two-party system and division of ideologies across our populace to their advantage.
Political correctness on college campuses is nothing more than an extension of this long-evolving trend that's taken over academia. The Collectivists have completely imbedded party-line ideological division mechanics in every facet of our lives.
