Masters in Justice: UT-Austin Grads Walk out of Commencement Over 'Anti-Black' School Song – RedState

But in Texas, Saturday night was set for an uncomfortable scene.
As reported by The College Fix, a group of students planned to walk out of the commencement in protest.

According to opponents of the tune, it’s downright racist.

AUSTIN, Texas The Texas Longhorns had just lost to rival Oklahoma for the third time in a row this time after a quadruple overtime.
The bruising loss was quickly overshadowed when then-Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger stood alone on the field for the playing of the university’s alma mater song The Eyes of Texas, a postgame tradition. The rest of the team, who typically stay to sing the song with fans at the end of games, had retreated from the field.
For many University of Texas at Austin students who had spent months protesting and petitioning the school to get rid of The Eyes of Texas, it was gutting to see the student leader seemingly taking a stand.
