Dr. Everett Piper said he posted the blog on the university’s website after a student came forward to express feeling ‘victimized’ after a sermon about showing love. Piper said the student thought the speaker was wrong for making him and his peers feel uncomfortable.

Piper wrote: “Our culture has actually taught our kids to be this self-absorbed and narcissistic. Any time their feelings are hurt, they are the victims.”

The post, called "This is not day care. It's a university," goes on to explain OKWU isn't a 'safe place,' but a place to 'learn that life isn't about you."
