The 14-year-old daughter of Dallas Police Sgt. Michael Smith, one of five police officers shot and killed in the downtown ambush four months ago, is devastated after Southern Methodist University rescinded a special invitation to her, only to reverse itself a day later.

"I think it was handled very poorly," said Victoria Smith. "I was infuriated."

A star player on the Knights Volleyball Academy team, Victoria and her teammates were set to attend SMU's volleyball game Saturday versus South Florida, and Victoria was invited to hit an honorary first serve in honor of her dad.

"I felt like I finally got to do something," Victoria said.

Then on Thursday, Victoria and her mother received an email from the school, in part saying, "in light of recent events and diversity within the SMU community … the demonstration could be deemed insensitive."

She feels like her dad was really disrespected," Heidi Smith said.

The invitation was withdrawn.

[Under severe criticism SMU recanted]

"The SMU Volleyball program extends its sincere apologies to the Smith family and is reaching out this morning to speak directly to Mrs. Smith to apologize and reinforce that the invitation stands. "This incident does not reflect SMU values. Due to a change in staffing, there was a breakdown in communication that led to this unfortunate situation. This communication to Mrs. Smith would never have occurred if proper approval and communications procedures had been followed. The invitation was intended to help a family heal, and we very much look forward to Victoria's first serve in the volleyball match Saturday.

That "M" in SMU stands for Methodist. Cretins. They have yet to explain what honoring an assassinated peace officer has to do with "diversity" and what would be "insensitive" about allowing this young woman to hit the honorary first serve.

Yeah, but don't forget they changed the "S" in SMU to stand for Snowflake . . .
