​Listen & Study Services' Commentary:

The college recruiter, Cedric Sunray, was fired after he performed a classroom exercise (kind of like a social experiment) at his visit to an Oklahoma City high school which made several students feel disparaged and tearful. 

According to some of the high school students, Sunray told them to line up in order using the darkest to lightest skin colors and hair textures from the straightest to kinkiest. What the Yahoo article (original article by 'In The Know') failed to mention is that the recruiter also reversed the order to help students realize equality! That's it folks - in a nutshell. Context is important when trying figure out the motive in a controversial situation! It doesn't matter that Sunray looks guilty of racism since the university fired him, his side of the story deserves to be heard in an audience of his peers and university leadership. 

Not only did the university fail this recruiter, the students missed a learning lesson in logic and reasoning where it pertained them leaving out important parts to the whole story in that classroom exercise. I've got to say, "I a bit surprised that a college prep school is not prepping or has not prepped their students well enough for college!" That's why, "Jumping to conclusions seems to be the number one activity surrounding the aftermath of this incident at the university."


​The Story:

The incident occurred when a recruiter representing Oklahoma Christian University was visiting an 11th-grade class at Harding Charter Preparatory on Feb. 24, KFOR-TV reported. During the visit, the unnamed man allegedly asked students to line up based on their skin color and hairstyle. “He barely talked about the school itself,” one student, Korey Todd, told KFOR-TV. “He was like, ‘Let’s play a little game … everyone now line up from darkest to lightest skin complexion.’”

The recruiter, reportedly a white man, then asked students to reorder themselves, so those with the “nappiest hair” were standing in the back of the line. “Teachers left,” another Harding student, Rio Brown told KFOR-TV. “They were crying and they were offended. Their faces just look disgusted. I know they had a talk with him after, like, ‘That’s not okay.'” Oklahoma Christian University released a statement to KFOR-TV shortly after the incident, stating that the recruiter had been fired. The college also condemned the man’s actions and promised to apologize to the students in person. “[The university’s] admissions leadership did not approve the inappropriate activity in advance and has communicated closely with Harding administration since the visit,” the statement read. Harding’s principal, Steven Stefanick also condemned the recruiter’s behavior, calling his comments “inappropriate and hurtful.” “Our community, from its inception, has valued diversity, inclusion, and a safe and supportive learning environment,” Stefanick added. “We will continue to do so.” The post College recruiter fired after arranging students by skin color appeared first on In The Know.
