[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]2 kids just got expelled for exercising their freedom of speech. WTH?[/quote]
Do you know what freedom of speech means?  The boys were not arrested...that's all you need to know.
Please walk into your manager's office and call him a fu*king idiot.  You won't get arrested but you will probably get fired. [/quote]

You need to rethink your insults, here. In this case it is government and it is potentially infringing on their free speech rights. [/quote]

What?  My kid goes to a public HS (government by your definition) and he damn sure would get expelled for singing a racist song on the school bus.  Thinkgs like this are prohibited in the student handbook.  So are you saying the public school students cannot be suspended or expelled for hate speech?  Is that your position?  LOL

Look, I know SOME of you think that this was some little drunken prank and that these boys deserve a pass, but these guys should be expelled for the sake of OU and their own safety.  Because if they are not, what message are you sending to your student body?  What message are you sending to potential applicants of any race?  Like it or not, this is as much about OU's brand as it is anything else.  OU competes with other schools in that part of country - OSU, KSU, JU, UT for students and endowment money.  It's a business folks.  Like people have told you, say what you want.   But when what you say negatively impacts the bottom line, you are likely to be shown the door.

So much for the Conservative mantra of personal accountability. [/quote]

+1  OU already lost a top football recruit as a result of this.  Athletics is were the money is.  [/quote]
