My last comment on TEOT
It looks like The Daily Roundup comments have already been closed. That was fast!!!
This TEOT thing is only being kept alive by the media and UT sports sites. The committee did the best that they could, but it looks like the people who want to see it banned weren t going to accept their findings unless they aligned exactly with what they already thought [in many ways based on falsehoods and vague guilt by association arguments]. Five minutes of Google the other night led me to the likely melodic origins of The Levee Song or I ve Been Working on the Railroad and it was a piece of music that was written in homage to the peasant class in their struggle against the feudalists. Isn t there something good to be seen from that?

âThe Eyes of Texasâ report finds songâs intent ânot overtly racistâ
Student-athletes asked UT-Austin to drop the school song during Black Lives Matter protests in the summer of 2020.
AUSTIN, Texas - A comprehensive report from a committee tasked to look at the University of Texas at Austin s alma mater song has been released and one of the committee s findings was that the intent of The Eyes of Texas was not overtly racist.
The committee went on to say that it is similarly clear that the cultural milieu that produced it was. And the fact that the song was, for decades, sung and revered on a segregated campus has, understandably, blurred the lines between intent and historical and contemporary impact. This complicates its understanding and explains how different people experienced the song in vastly different ways.
