EUGENE, Ore. – Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream “that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

The famous quote from his Aug. 28, 1963 “I Have a Dream” speech is apparently not “inclusive” enough for some University of Oregon students who believe a quote that touches on gender equality is in order for modern times, reports The Daily Emerald, the student newspaper.

Laurie Woodward, student union director, told the Emerald that as the school’s renovation of Erb Memorial Union, where the quote from King has greeted students in the entrance since 1986, prompted some students pose a question to the Student Union Board: “Does the MLK quote represent us today?”

“Diversity is so much more than race,” sophomore Mia Ashley said. “Obviously race still plays a big role. But there are people who identify differently in gender and all sorts of things like that.”

Woodward told the site she doesn’t believe the student union is up to the task of searching out a new quote – an undertaking that would involved soliciting feedback from students – so King’s quote will likely go back in the building, for now.

“The quote is not going to change,” The Daily Emerald reports, “but that decision was not made without some hard thought by the Student Union Board.”

News sites and blogs including The Washington Times, Mediaite, Reason.com and others highlighted the effort to replace the King quote.

“The revolution eats its own, doesn’t it?” Reason’s Nick Gillespite wrote. “And then, like a bulimic, it vomits it all up and gives it another go.”

The Daily Emerald notes the King quote replaced another from Dean of Administrative Emeritus William C. Jones that read:

Established by an enlightened state for service and inspiration
Reverent before its heritage of principle and institution
Eager in its adventure with idea and deed
Guardian of the noble in man’s aspiration for the humane society
Leader in the quest for the good life for all men.

“The quote began to bother students in the 70s, as it spoke of the aspiration and good life of “men,” which was being used as a dated term for mankind, and was therefore not inclusive,” according to The Daily Emerald. “It took two separate attempts to finally convince the EMU Board to remove the quote fully after an effort to slightly alter the wording was shut down by the Jones himself.”

When Jones was approached in 1978 about the idea of replacing his quote, Jones “was unwilling to ‘give hostage to ignorance,’” according to Adell McMillian’s book “A Common Ground” quoted by the news site.

Numerous folks who commented about the debate over the King quote change were dumbfounded by the conversation.

“Glad to hear MLK will continue to be honored,” Caleb Powell wrote. “Gees, what’s the world coming to? Why seek moral placebos and superficial diversity? Superficial diversity is meaningless, strive and embrace ideological diversity to help the oppressed.”

“Please do not remove one of the most famous quote of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,” Patty Haley posted. “That quote is part of the soul of Dr. Martin and it has done more good for the civil rights movement and inclusivity than any of those so called activist children will ever do.

“Unbelievable this was even proposed,” Haley wrote. “Children, get over yourselves, and have some respect for this great man.”

“Had to think about it? That being judged by your character and not your skin color isn’t ‘diverse’ enough?” Ted Hales commented. “Idiots, all of them. Social Justice Warriors are moral retards.”
