Major litigation coming. P has on his side:
#1, First Amendment, two elements of it, speech and religion.
#2, Political speech is among the most protected of the speech rights.
#3, He can easily monetize his damages.
Wowza!
Expelled from a college ( Christian no less) for displaying the exercise of 2 constitutional rights at a legally permitted rally?
Pretty soon they will be plucking your eyes out if you ever looked at a confederate statue.
The video of this happening is a must see.
The Robert E Lee monument is listed in the National Register of Historic Places

Since I don’t know anything about Armentrout other than what has been written in this article, and I do not agree that Lee was the greatest American, I do support his First Amendment right to speak out on the subject, his Second Amendment right to open carry where legal, and his guts to stop the Leftist thugs from destroying everything they oppose or think they should oppose.
This is the same logic that let the Khmer Rouge kill millions in Cambodia including people I knew, the No. Koreans keeping their whole country in ignorance and literally as prisoners, the Red Chinese in their attempts to “cleanse” their country of the “ Four Olds” basic structures of society (i.e. Culture, Ideas, Customs and Habits” and killed possibly tens of millions of people in this “cultural/history cleansing” “Amok” campaign, and Lenin/Trotsky/Stalin to kill tens of millions, torture many more, and imprison tens of millions of innocent people.
(See: “The Human Cost of Communism in China”, , p. 23, 1971, Prof. Richard Walker, Sen. Judiciary Committee, Sen. Internal Security Subcommittee, 92nd Congress, 1st Session, Subdoc number 63-549 O. It might be available online.).
If Armentrout did nothing illegal with his stance, then I hope he sues the hell out of this chicken-shit college to the point that not only will he win enough money to cover his last year of college, but that it will be enough to by the whole damned college and fire its’ “Free Speech” coward leaders.
It is ironic that the people I would call “Confederate conservatives” are doing more (legally) to preserve all American history than are the so-called protectors of Free Speech, the liberals, esp. the law professors who are pathetic cowards or hardcore Marxists. The same applies to so-called “conservatives” in Congress, local politics, the media, and academia (for the most part). They are nothing but “armchair cowards” and almost totally useless in preventing a well-planned, funded, staffed and mobile Marxist “deconstruction/destroy” force like that of Ghengis Khan, Kubla Khan, and other Islamic genocidal hordes that ravaged Asia Minor, Asia, and Europe for many centuries.
Ironically it was the Christian forces of Spain, Poland, Austria, Italy (city states), France and possibly Germany who finally stopped this plague of genocide and cultural destruction.
Who do we have today who will lead us in the defense of our history, culture, language, and American identity? Who ever you are, stand up fast because we are running out of time.
I’m getting older but I’m all in for this fight. Time to take it to the enemy on our terms and at the places of our choosing (all legal but we will be armed when necessary - trained, combat experienced, smart, and organized).
Now is the time for all good men (not racists and psychos) to come to the defense of our country. Not tomorrow, not next week, but NOW!
That boy ain’t right.

He is an example of what Yrump was refering to in his second somewhat inarticulated statement about “good people” which the media “nazified”.

The first amendment is dead. Anything left the Constitution? What’s the point of a republic if we no longer have any rights?
Perhaps not the greatest, yet Lee is definitely part of that pantheon.
The purge continues. What’s next? the frenzy of the past week shows that a significant part of the American public would have done very well as Nazi SS.
Massive law suit. Get every penny they have.
Here’s what the law says about Confederate monuments:
Confederate soldiers, sailors, and Marines that fought in the Civil war were made U.S. Veterans by an act of Congress in in 1957, U.S. Public Law 85-425, Sec 410, Approved 23 May, 1958. This made all Confederate Army/ Navy/ Marine Veterans equal to U.S. Veterans. Additionally, under U.S. Public Law 810, Approved by the 17th Congress on 26 Feb 1929 the War Department was directed to erect headstones and recognize Confederate grave sites as U.S. War dead grave sites. Just for the record the last Confederate veteran died in 1958. When you remove a Confederate statue, monument or headstone, you are in fact, removing a statue, monument or head stone of a U.S. VETERAN.
18 U.S. Code § 1369 - Destruction of veterans’ memorials (a) Whoever, in a circumstance described in subsection (b), willfully injures or destroys, or attempts to injure or destroy, any structure, plaque, statue, or other monument on public property commemorating the service of any person or persons in the armed forces of the United States shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 10 years, or both. (b) A circumstance described in this subsection is that— (1) in committing the offense described in subsection (a), the defendant travels or causes another to travel in interstate or foreign commerce, or uses the mail or an instrumentality of interstate or foreign commerce; or (2) the structure, plaque, statue, or other monument described in subsection (a) is located on property owned by, or under the jurisdiction of, the Federal Government.
IANAL, but, to me it appears that Armentrout has bulletproof material for a lawsuit that should result in him owning a good chunk of that leftist "independent Baptist" school:

FWIW, I have a BS from a Baptist college, as do both of my daughters -- yet, I say,
