LSU shouldn’t do anything more but that kid is not going to make it past his freshman year. He’s a living target

LSU, for years now, has had absolute idiots running their accounts. There is absolutely no excuse for them acknowledging this, much less responding to it.

I would guess, at the very least, they are encouraging him to not come

This would be a great opportunity for a high level black alum or prominent student to defend this kid and offer to meet him, counsel him, help him.

Teachable moment.

Problem is now LSU can’t walk this original statement back with anything other than we have denied him admission.

It will result in more mandated diversity training for the entire university and an increased budget for diversity programs on campus. They will not let this “crisis” go to waste.

Are the not in a tough spot being they depend on federal dollars to stay open? Trampling on the constitutional rights of any students could put them in bad spot federal funding and federal student loan / grant wise.

Not that I am agreeing with the little sh$t, but free speech doesn’t mean only non offensive speech.

My cousin is friends with him and apparently he meant to send it to one of his friends but he sent it to a girl on accident and she screen recorded it and posted it on Instagram. LSU has rescinded his admittance

Even without federal dollars, they are a state school. Kid is completely covered by the first amendment. Kicking him out of school would let the kid collect a nice fat check from LSU for violating a constitutional right. LSU's best bet is to convince him to go somewhere else and let other groups attempt to do it. That's usually what happens when students do stupid shite like this because the school can't do shite about it.

Tennessee had that incoming cheerleader that bailed on attending just recently for the same shite.

LSU is a public university governed fully by the First Amendment. As a government body, LSU cannot sanction a student, faculty member, or other employee for expression that is protected by the First Amendment. There is no hate speech exception to the First Amendment, so while the expression referred to in the original post is deeply offensive and hateful, it is fully protected. The student is fully entitled to the admission that has been granted by the university.

That doesn't mean that people cannot express their own views about his expression and stand in opposition to what he said. Individuals should not be subject to harassment, but those who object to what was said also have a right to free expression and can state that they object.
