OU Student Protest Centers Around Demand For A New Student Center With A Popeyes In It

On the surface, this looks like yet another protest on a college campus. I know nothing about it and frankly, I don't care to know anything about it. That was until I read OU BERT's list of demands:

"We call for a multicultural center that will include large office space and meeting spaces for marginalized groups." 

Okay, sure, whatever. Not the first time I've heard something like this proposed.

"A common lounge area, study rooms, and a Popeyes." 

I didn't think I was going to get to a point of this proposal where I felt that I was going to be a full-fledge supporter. However, the demand for the Popeyes has sold me. Go after what you want and what you think you're worth. IF you think you're worth a Popeyes, goddamnit go after it.
