Well, at least they can't yet put her and us in a gulag for a crime against the Party Line.

quote:

According to a report by the College Fix, incoming Marquette University freshman Samantha Pfefferle almost had her admission revoked after students expressed outrage over her conservative social media posts.

The post, which featured the song “GOOBA” by 6ix9ine, is titled “When the libs find their way to your page.” The video has been played 592,000 since it was posted.

“They try to hate on me…and think I’ll change my views,” Pfefferle wrote in a caption featured in the short video.

Pfefferle claims that Brian Troyer, dean of admissions at Marquette University, contacted her after her video went viral. Pfefferle claims that Troyer told her admissions status was “in limbo” before asking her about her stance on DACA recipients.

Would lose badly, Marquette is a private university so they are able to essentially do as they please regarding admissions.

Brian Troyer needs to be harassed and have his life ruined. If a conservative administrator asked a liberal student bullshite personal questions like that he’d be buried to his neck and stoned to death

To which my response would be..."Is this new criteria for entrance into your university? If so, you have yet to update your entrance/admission criteria and I was accepted prior to said criteria. If no, then I decline to answer this question. Followed by, "Are you contacting all incoming students to ask them their stance on this particular issue or are you singling me out based on my skin color?"

I believe you mean legal, not acceptable. At least I hope that is what you meant.

Glad this student is making an issue out of this.

I’m not sure that’s true hoss. If courts can force a baker to bake gay wedding cakes, than I think a conservative who had her university acceptance threatened for her political beliefs has a case.

That’s not how it works, they are still classified as a private university which means they essentially have the ability to do as they please regarding admissions. They are not a government entity and therefore, do not fall under the scope of the first amendment, same as private businesses.

SCOTUS ruled in favor of the baker... Its settled law the the first amendment does not apply to private schools.
