Two students leave University of Oklahoma over blackface video
What do you think?
(AP) The University of Oklahoma says two students have voluntarily withdrawn from the school after one appeared on a social media video wearing black face paint and using a racial epithet.
OU President Jim Gallogly says the two apologized for what he called a "shocking, racist video,'' noting that Monday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, in honor of the slain black civil rights leader.
The OU Black Student Association has called for a zero-tolerance policy on hate speech, more social and cultural classes, more multicultural faculty and staff, and additional financial assistance for African-Americans.
Association leaders haven't responded to Gallogly's comments.
OU severed ties with a fraternity and expelled two students in 2015 after several members took part in a racist chant caught on video that referenced lynching.
