Yes, racist views of college punks are much more worrisome to most Americans than war with Russia or Hillary receiving money from overseas to finance her campaign...what's wrong with that? They should have had these punks on CSPAN:



The elitists' media corporations intentionally trumps up racial division when it can to divide us and take our attention away from how we are all being taken advantage of.

Codes of conduct at government institutions don't trump the constitution or federal law. A public university can draw up a code of conduct and enforce it, but it does so at the risk of facing a lawsuit.

True, but any enforcement of anything does risk a lawsuit in this day.

Also, courts have traditionally held that schools aren't typical government institutions when it comes to free speech. Finally, though they are 'public' schools, they are not public in the same sense as city halls, court houses, etc.

How sure are you about that?

In relevant portion from the above link:

Societal implementation
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, employers may sometimes be prosecuted for tolerating "hate speech" by their employees, if that speech contributes to a broader pattern of harassment resulting in a "hostile or offensive working environment" for other employees.[82][83]

In the 1980s and 1990s, more than 350 public universities adopted "speech codes" regulating discriminatory speech by faculty and students.[84] These codes have not fared well in the courts, where they are frequently overturned as violations of the First Amendment.[85] Debate over restriction of "hate speech" in public universities has resurfaced with the adoption of anti-harassment codes covering discriminatory speech.[86]

Also, from the Supreme Court case law section:

In 1969, the Supreme Court protected a Ku Klux Klan member’s racist and hate-filled speech and created the ‘imminent danger’ test to permit hate speech. The court ruled in Brandenburg v. Ohio that; "The constitutional guarantees of free speech and free press do not permit a state to forbid or proscribe advocacy of the use of force, or of law violation except where such advocacy is directed to inciting imminent lawless action and is likely to incite or produce such action."[78]

This test has been modified very little from its inception in 1969 and the formulation is still good law in the United States. Only speech that poses an imminent danger of unlawful action, where the speaker has the intention to incite such action and there is the likelihood that this will be the consequence of his or her speech, may be restricted and punished by that law.

“Fat acceptance” activists are demanding Facebook remove the pre-written “I’m feeling fat” status messages users routinely select after eating a large meal because it encourages “fat shaming.”

We need more laws to protect people's feelings!

Notice the 4th picture in the photo roll of the all-black frat member holding up the black-power symbol...I condemn these SAE snot nose punks but I am not giving a pass to any racism. This is what fuels it...wake up folks...the establishment WANTS you to be at odds with each other. Imagine if we didn't fall for it how good things would be; case by case basis is much better way of doing things, not hating a whole group. (except ISIS) But one can't ignore the double standard that exists when it comes to this issue. I bet these frat punks were liberal elitists LOL.

Four-star offensive tackle Jean Delance decommitted from Oklahoma this morning. He cited personal reasons, but insiders have said the recent news definitely had an impact.

If "fat shaming" becomes a crime, I'll have a built in clientele with you fat bastards. It will give a new meaning to our Heavy Hitter slogan.

If you choose to exercise your 1A rights by singing racist crap, I'll support you, but I won't interfere with someone putting a boot in your ass. Dumbassery can carry a heavy price.

I would imagine that the main players in the video have already eased on out of town and looking into opportunities elsewhere - maybe a six-month internship in the family business or something.
