LINCOLN — Former Nebraska Gov. Kay Orr took University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Ronnie Green to task Monday over a statement opposing a resolution on critical race theory.

The statement was written by the six faculty and staff members leading the chancellor’s anti-racism initiative.

It takes issue with a resolution proposed by University of Nebraska Regent and GOP gubernatorial candidate Jim Pillen that would bar “any imposition of critical race theory in curriculum” at the university.

Orr, who has endorsed Pillen, called the statement “inflammatory and beneath the dignity of your office.” She went on to say that, in the past, the office of chancellor has never been “wielded as a weapon against duly elected officials.”

1. Perhaps in the past, elected officials didn't make such stupid statements ...

... that a response was required.

You break the norm, you bought it.

2. The Person Being Inflammatory Is Jim Pillen

His resolution is plainly harmful to Nebraska athletics, calling into question his judgement and it reflects poorly on his character and the type of Governor he would be.
