I will not stand for this.. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable. I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE.

More interesting developments about #ClimateChange influenced migration, and migrants' rights under int'l law. @BBCWorld "BBC News - People urgently fleeing climate crisis cannot be sent home, UN rules" https://t.co/ZXexp3s9q2
