A University of Kansas student was expelled for calling his ex-girlfriend a “psycho bitch” on Twitter. The tweet, which did not mention the woman by the name—and was not visible to her—is disallowed under Title IX, KU has argued.

The matter is now before the Kansas Court of Appeals. Both the American Civil Liberties Union and the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education have filed briefs in support of the former student, Navid Yeasin.

I love FIRE. They are the only sane voice in the jungle of activist idiots that our universities have become.

I'd say expulsion is letting him off easy. The first amendment doesn't give you the right to bully and cyber-assault like he did. This type of virtual rape needs to be punished or it will only continue.

If calling an ex a psycho bitch is illegal, lock me up and throw away the key. I've dated some psyco bitches in my day.

Another reason why I don't understand why so many people want their real identity out there for everyone to see. Use an anonymous profile and you don't have this problem. BUt in this social media obsessed society, everyone wants to have their name out there so they can get recognized. Well guess what, between the ages of 15 and 30, most of the things you do and think don't need to be recognized by the rest of the world.

Technically true but you are kind of leaving out the fact that they specifically told him to leave her alone and to not comment on social media about her.
quote:


Yeasin was expelled in November 2013 for violating an order not to contact the woman after the collapse of their relationship, which court documents say was "tumultuous and at times toxic."

The university had warned Yeasin against harassing the woman, including making references to her on social media, which came after a series of incidents that included Yeasin allegedly detaining the woman in a car, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported. When he tweeted demeaning messages that apparently targeted her, Yeasin was warned again but continued the behavior, the school said.

In his Douglas County suit, Yeasin argued that KU had violated his right to free speech, and that neither the car incident nor his tweeting took place on school property.

The case has drawn attention from free speech groups and Kansas State University, which filed an amicus brief arguing that Yeasin's tweets were off-campus, so the University of Kansas was not required to sanction him.

Judge Stephen Hill's interrogation began Tuesday soon after KU's attorney, Sara Trower, began speaking.

"Why isn't that prior restraint of speech?" he asked. "You can't talk about anybody, isn't that right? Isn't that what you're saying?"

Trower responded that the school is saying "you can't persist by retaliating and harassing her, seeking to alienate her."

It sounds like Kansas overreached and is about to get whupped in court by the ACLU and FIRE.

After a dispute between Yeasin and his ex-girlfriend—who was also a student—KU imposed a no-contact order on him. KU then accused him of violating that order by tweeting “psycho bitch” and “#psycho,” even though the tweets did not identify his ex-girlfriend as the target of these insults
Colleges really have become the "thought police". Can you imagine what they would have done if he had included a picture of the Rebel flag with his tweet?

Psycho - Triggering the negative emotions of all mentally ill people.

Bitch - Triggering the negative emotions of all women.

Psycho bitch - triggering the negative emotions of transgenders who have been called crazy for identifying as a female instead of male

Using Twitter - Using social media as a means of triggering others when social media is clearly a tool for promoting social justice

Living in Kansas - Willfully identifying as a resident of a red state thus being most likely aligned with Republicanism, white supremacy, and racism.

This guy deserves scaphism for the atrocities he has committed against his fellow genders.

Should have done what any other average of member would do.

PIIHB, spray her face, and only then call her a psycho bitch
