Texas A&M: Going After Students for "Racist" and "Offensive" Social Media Activity [My Title]
TAMU Twitter ^ | June 3, 2020 | Staff

Posted on 06/04/2020 12:18:58 PM PDT by C19fan

Over the past week, we have been made aware of social media posts shared online of racist or offensive statements attributed to current or incoming Texas A&M students. We have brought all of these posts to the attention of Texas A&M officials.

Can Texas A&M being a public university even do anything as strict scrutiny under the 1st Amendment applies ? Are not social media posts considered speech. By the way, this is the university that tolerated an African-American Philosophy professor who advocated violence against whites for just being white.

This will need to be across the board. ANYONE disparaging anyone else due to their background, etc. needs to be shut down. This is destroying the trust between all groups. How can we feel safe going around another ethnic group if all of this abuse is not shut down immediately?

How very tolerant of them. Not. If you want to celebrate diversity, then you have to be accepting of people with ideas and ideals that differ from yours. Yes, that does include being accepting of people with views you deem offensive, even racist.

If you support demonizing, punishing, "going after" people with views that differ from yours then you are no better than the worst fascist. The only difference is you are hiding behind the current definition(s) of political correctness. You are the fascist.

How long before they scan postings of Whites and fire anyone who had something remotely racist? Wait! They already do that!

DJT should cut off or attempt to cut off all federal funds going to any college or university which doesn’t fully support First Amendment Rights. No censorship. The First Amendment was crafted specifically to protect so-called hate speech.

I’ve yet to see which side these so called racist and offensive posts lean. Going out on a limb, I’d guess they were anti-white, anit-conservative, anti-Christian and pro-ANTIFA. A&M is fast becoming UT.

Here's my quick answer to this... every single time I get asked a question, I first respond with "Are you sure that you want to ask me such a racist question?" While the answer to a simple question of "do you want vanilla ice cream with that pie?" should have the answer "yes", it instead leads to a discussion of "what's racist about vanilla ice cream?" to which the answer is "because vanilla ice cream is white and white is about privilege."..... and so it goes.

I'm only kidding a little bit here...

Look different, think the same.

I remember talking about when I was in college 40 years ago.

Social media has put it on steroids.

A&M has been a politically correct cesspool for years. All too many examples of “white privilege” highly qualified kids who were non-selected for admission based on race alone and A&M’s quest for diversity.

I just went to post on the FB page of our local school sistrict.

THEY WILL BE SICCING POLICE (I thought they hate them?) ON STUDENTS WHO HAVE POSTED “RACIALLY CHARGED” OR BIASED LANGUAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA. AND SEEKING HATE-CRIME CHARGES!

What business do these Big Brothers have getting people arrested outside their property, and pressing charges????

Of course our local commies are all applauding, but I posted long about it. I’m sick of letting all this go unchallenged!

“RACIALLY CHARGED” OR BIASED LANGUAGE

And guess who gets to define what "racially charged" or "biased" language is.
