Misplaced Priorities

It was bad enough when I heard last week that a memorial stone had been erected for Virginia Tech murderer Seung-Hui Cho.

Now this.

The University of Oklahoma has put up a memorial to a student who died when a homemade bomb exploded near the OU football stadium.

A stone with the name of Joel Hinrichs III was placed outside the OU student union by the student affairs division.

Hinrichs died Oct. 1, 2005, when the bomb he built detonated as he sat on a campus bench near Memorial Stadium while a football game was under way.

We’re erecting memorials to murdering gunmen and suicide bombers on campus while opposing memorials to real heros.

Welcome to “higher” education in America.
