All Lives Don’t Matter at University of Houston

The Washington Post reports (as does the Chronicle of Higher Education this morning) that Rohini Sethi, vice president of student government at the University of Houston, was removed from her position after she posted “Forget #BlackLivesMatter; more like #AllLivesMatter” on Facebook on the evening of July 7, after the Dallas shooting of five police officers.

After minority student organizations ”denounced the post as hateful and inflammatory — unbecoming of a student leader elected to represent the entire student body and who receives a stipend from student fees” — she deleted the post, apologized, agreed to accept “sensitivity training,” but last Wednesday was nevertheless removed from her position.

So far as is known, Ms. Sethi has not been sent to a re-education camp. But there would appear to be little need, since re-education is alive and well at the University of Houston.

ADDENDUM

Inside Higher Ed notes this morning that ”the University of Houston issued a statement saying that it took no action against Sethi.”
