First came the news in April that King's College London was forced to apologize for “the harm” its publication of an image commemorating the passing of His Royal Highness,
#PrincePhilip, apparently caused a number of its staff and students.
Now, just as the aforementioned picture of the
#DukeOfEdinburgh ostensibly proved too testing for the
#woke brigade of academia to behold, so too, is this portrait of Her Majesty the Queen said to be too offensive for those in attendance at Oxford University’s Magdalen College to live with.
In a shameful act of doltish provincialism, 25-year-old President of the Middle Common Room, Matthew Katzman, claimed that the decision to remove a portrait of
#TheQueen was made to “create a welcoming neutral place for all members regardless of background, demographic, or views.”
Clearly, Mr. Katzman needs reminding that not only has Her Majesty the Queen dedicated seven decades of her life to creating a welcoming environment for all citizens of her
#Commonwealth, but also, that she has worked tirelessly to help progress the lives of all members of society - regardless of their “background, demographic, or views”.
If indeed the sight of Britain’s
#Monarch really is all too much to bear for soft-headed “academics” such as Katzman, why does he not leave the University of Oxford with immediate effect?
Presuming, however, that he will not be going anywhere anytime soon, maybe the University’s Chancellor should suggest Katzman embarks upon a new course of study that requires him to explore the altruistic reign of
#QueenElizabeth?
If Katzman was compelled to commit as much time to this potential undertaking as he does to denigrating one of
#GreatBritain's most-revered and inspirational human beings, maybe then he will open his eyes to all the good the Queen has brought to the world?
Maybe then he will finally grow up and learn how to treat
#HerMajesty with the respect and admiration she is so very well-deserving of.
