Cancel culture tried to force LSU into not accepting a student in the fall that had a video saying “I hate N’s”
LSU responds:

To be clear, we at LSU condemn hate and bigotry in any form, including racially incendiary remarks. As a state university, however, we are subject to constitutional limitation on our ability to take action in response to free speech.

fricking terrible PR move for LSU.
I don’t know the actual law either. Does the 1st amendment cover hate speech? Is this considered hate speech since it doesn’t seem to be a call to violence? I have no idea.
What I do know is a statement somewhere along the lines of “ We, as a university, are currently investigating this situation closely. We stand tall with our members of the black community at this time. Geaux Tigers” would’ve been a whole lot less inflammatory than the shite they put out

I’m sure they were posting exactly what they were told. I’m sure the social media person doesn’t have the authority to freewheel a response

The terrible response was any response at all to unverified twitter posts of a known race baiter who has wrongly “outed” the incorrect person on multiple occasions.
That is not the avenue for that type of discussion

Unfortunately hate speech is included in free speech.

We are in a better spot from Top to Bottom leadership wise in my lifetime regarding the football program.
I trust whatever decision that is made on this matter will be the right one for the team as a whole.

Unfortunately?
Controversial speech is the only speech that needs protection.

Why even make a statement?

Because silence is racism. Get with the times man.

Well said, man. Once we start defining free speech, we start losing it.

If everyone read the entire statement they would see that LSU said they are doing something but the can’t announce it publicly
