Singing along to popular songs is not typically covered under a “no tolerance “ policy. If it were there would need to be a huge amount of students with consequences held against them.Baconqueen13 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 12:29 pmHow do you know they only are enforcing it against certain races? They in all likelihood have a zero tolerance policy on it similar to most schools and universities.BobCobbMagob wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 12:17 pmPulling a scholarship due to unbecoming behavior, but only enforcing those rules against certain races is racist and by definition discriminatory.RIZZY_1 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 12:01 pm
I would rather not hear the words ever, from anyone, but I'm not going to go around dictating who can and can't say it from a legal perspective, white or not white. I just wouldn't choose to say it myself and I would probably not associate with people, or hire people, who felt they could freely use the word and post videos of themselves speaking that way on social media- white or not.
But that said, what exactly is the crime here? He's not even a student there yet. Has the university barred his admittance? Or just pulled the scholarship?
“Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs or activities receiving federal financial assistance.“
Then that would create another legal battle because that would mean the university was restricting the free speech rights of their students since it could also be argued that artists’ using whatever verbiage they chose when creating and individuals listening to music is covered.
