No, she was told that she would either withdraw or they would rescind her admission. She's will likely have some difficulty attaining a spot at another four-year university any time in the near future due to this incident + she has been publicly outed and shamed which may well affect future employment prospects. Her trajectory has changed, at least for the next few years years, possibly beyond.

This. What university will want to accept her now, thanks to the smear machine that this idiot kid put in motion?

All the more reason to NOT USE A RACIST WORD THAT YOU KNOW YOU SHOULDN’T.

DP. So my white kid has permission to cancel the next black kid who calls him the n-word?

Does he need permission? He can do whatever he wants. If society agrees with him then the black kid will get canceled.

Too bad Jimmy didn’t show Mimi the same grace he showed his father when his dad said the n-word:

Mr. Galligan thinks a lot about race, and the implications of racial slurs. He said his father was often the only white person at maternal family gatherings, where “the N-word is a term that is thrown around sometimes” by Black relatives. A few years ago, he said his father said it aloud, prompting Mr. Galligan and his sister to quietly take him aside and explain that it was unacceptable, even when joking around.

The phrase uttered was the lyrics of a song.

Which song? It doesn’t matter. Don’t say the n word is not a difficult life rule.

Agreed. But that includes rappers. Perhaps if they would stop using it, it would cease being “cool.”

Frankly NYT did not do a good enough reporting job to be able to state that accurately or not. They don’t even mention reaching out to LCPS or Heritage HS for a response let alone have interviewed any other kids. The impression of them is just from what the boy said and things way in the past (fighting desegregation).

The gym class example is bad but I think when WaPo reported on that LCPS said the teacher was wrong and reprimanded for it or something along those lines. NYT seems to have phoned in the coverage of the HS situation despite going out of their way to try to make this a bigger dynamic about what Heritage is like. (No, I have no connection to the school. My kids are in FCPS).

Totally agree, and my kids are in FCPS too. The entire slant of the article was clearly to portray Heritage High - and LCPS in general - as horribly racist. That’s simply not the case. Teenagers across the entire country use the vile n-word casually, every day. Why? Because it’s in the rap music they all listen to. Yet the SJWs refuse to demand that rappers stop using the n-word. That would be an excellent first step if we want to eradicate this word.

You have that exactly opposite.

Please. If she didn’t throw the n word out there none of this would have happened. Again, whites want to live in a world for themselves full of do-overs while denying others the same. Systematic racism at its best. White woman’s tears and the knights in white shining armor come out to defend her honor (or, in reality, defend her privilege).

Oh, get over yourself. She said a vile word in a private three second video. She later apologized for it. That should have been the end of it, but an apology wasn’t enough for Jimmy. He wanted her to pay. It’s clear he has anger issues.

If it was private she wouldn’t have sent it to anyone.

Maybe you should take a peek at the Snapchats your kids have sent to their friends. Just a thought.

Whenever I see the letters “SJW” that poster automatically loses credibility and I know they have their own agenda.

Exactly how I feel when I see the words, “lived experience,” “make him whole,” and “white privilege.” Among others.

Yes entire words conveying actual concepts are exactly the same as your hateful acronyms.

No wonder you can’t figure out what saying the n word is bad!

If she didn’t want anyone to see it then she shouldn’t have sent it to anyone. That was her mistake to think it was actually private and no one would see it, save it or send it.

If you feel so strongly about this, attach your name and face for credibility reasons to a campaign to allow you to use the word, that it’s UNFAIR for African Americans to say it, but white people cannot.

You know what they can also start a campaign to ban it for everybody. I’m sure that’s going to go over just as well.

The karma here is Jimmy Galligan’s parents thinking he’d be a good fit for an ultra-conservative Christian school in California. LOL.

He’s a recruited athlete. The college likely recruited him to play volleyball and not his parents picking the school for him.

You seem terribly confused. Saying the n-word is vile and disgusting, even when black people say it. And your “concepts” are merely made up buzzwords.

True, that was her mistake. His mistake was thinking it was pure and righteous for him to publicize what was a stupid comment meant for a private group.
