I got offered a great job to go back to LSU. Glad I turned it down.
Keep voting Democrat! We are almost there!

The pivot in the narrative here is "student safety", not the speech. In other words, the speech is protected but if the instructor or other students don't feel safe because of the speech, they can take action.
"Safety" has been the all encompassing phrase the left has used in order to impose their will, whether it be free speech or coronavirus lockdowns

Non-ironically the same verbiage used by dictators and authoritarian regimes since the beginning of time.

Well, she didn't say students that have certain physical features would receive certain treatment.
I know. I was just making a comparison of her threatening to take action against a protected class vs threatening to take action against protected speech.
I'm not saying one way or the other what should be done. I'm just curious.

This isn't cancel culture. She's not expressing an opinion as a private citizen. She's threatening unconstitutional action as a public servant. That's a big difference. One is tried in the court of public opinion. The other is tried in a federal court.

They know it's bullshite every time they justify their tactics as "safety measures". But they know that, in today's NERF culture, it's the number one priority so no one will dare challenge it.

Attacking the words and actions of idiots in middle school and high school really underlines the fact that the BLM group doesn't give one shite about actually ending racism in this country.
Thing is it really isn’t BLM doing this. It’s virtue signaling white (or in this case Asian) liberals.

First, racist speech is constitutionally protected, just as is expression of other contemptible ideas; and universities may not discipline students based on their speech. That has been the unanimous view of courts that have considered campus speech codes and other campus speech restrictions — see here for some citations.
The university president wrote that the students are being expelled for “your leadership role in leading a racist and exclusionary chant which has created a hostile educational environment for others.” But there is no First Amendment exception for racist speech, or exclusionary speech, or — as the cases I mentioned above — for speech by university students that “has created a hostile educational environment for others.”
Likewise, speech doesn’t lose its constitutional protection just because it refers to violence — “You can hang him from a tree,” “the capitalists will be the first ones up against the wall when the revolution comes,” “by any means necessary” with pictures of guns, “apostates from Islam should be killed.”
To be sure, in specific situations, such speech might fall within a First Amendment exception. One example is if it is likely to be perceived as a “true threat” of violence (e.g., saying “apostates from Islam will be killed” or “we’ll hang you from a tree” to a particular person who will likely perceive it as expressing the speaker’s intention to kill him); but that’s not the situation here, where the speech wouldn’t have been taken by any listener as a threat against him or her.

Applying that rule to only certain races is actually racist.

It's not out of the realm for her purposely try to fail students if she can't just outright drop them.
Exactly. Who is going to be keeping track of all the grades for people she has on her “list?”

From LSU's code of conduct
5.1 Jurisdiction of the Code
The Code applies to conduct that occurs on the Campus, at LSU-sponsored activities, and/or when the Student or RSO is representing LSU. The University shall have discretion to extend jurisdiction over conduct that occurs off campus when the conduct adversely and significantly affects the learning environment or University community and would be in violation of the Code if the conduct had occurred on campus. In determining whether or not to extend jurisdiction, the University may consider its ability to gather information. The University may extend jurisdiction if the alleged conduct:
A. Involves violence or produced a reasonable fear of physical harm; and/or....

frick no. What she is trying to do is irresponsible. It’s an impossible standard to attempt to police and I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s reprimanded in someway
The only way to stop it is to fire her.
So admin tells her she cannot drop students based on their political views.
What’s to stop her from keeping a list and making sure those students fail her class based on purely subjective undefinable criteria.

How does saying a naughty word produce reasonable fear of physical harm?
