[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think this is a violation of the constitutional right to freedom of speech. It is a public university. Speech is in fact protected. Was it speech or conduct? If you expel for this reason, you are creating a dangerous precedence for campuses, where speech should be protected even if you find it reprehensible.

That said, why fight it if you are the student? Costs money and time, and just tells everyone you are a racist ahole.

It's not a violation of freedom of speech.  Saying that you'd rather see someone hanging from a tree before having them in your campus organization is grounds for punishment.  Does that make sense?[/quote]

look, a song is speech.  they were not assaulting minorities.  I think the kids were drunk scumbags, but it was speech.  and it IS protected by the First Amendment.  The bill of rights means something.  I hate what they said, but they are allowed to say it and the state cannot punish it.[/quote]

Who's punishing...last I checked no one was charging them with anything or locking them up in jail.  [/quote]
