TCU student punished for criticizing Islam, Baltimore riots
Fox News ^ | 8-4-15 | Todd Starnes

All it took was 140 characters for Texas Christian University to suspend a conservative student who posted a series of social networking posts that insulted the Islamic State, the Baltimore rioters and Mexicans.

TCU banned Harry Vincent from most campus activities, ordered him to perform 60 hours of community service and attend a diversity training class.

The 19-year-old, who is a member of the College Republicans and the Young Americans for Freedom, said he was told by the university that his conservative views were “inappropriate.”

Its high time that the Justice Department come down on college campuses and start arresting people for violating basic civil rights.

That is absurd. If they are in the US they abide by the 1st amendment.

TCU is known more for the amount of campus rapes and drug use than anything else so they go after a Conservative Christian for his political views. Got it.

TCU just received a hefty grant from the NEH (National Endowment for the Humanities) for one of their professors and his oral history project of ‘Black and Brown Civil Rights’ in Texas. I think he’s a believer of “white privilege”.

I suspect most native Texans can’t afford TCU. Probably has a lot of affirmative action and dreamer types who don’t have to pay their way.

Austin and several other urban areas in Texas are oasises of liberalism in an otherwise Conservative state. The liberals are like festering pimples on our ass. We pop them but they just keep coming. The doctor has prescribed conservatism and we are treating the condition by keeping Texas red.

Foat Wuth is an exception, pretty much still conservative despite TCU. Too many old cowboys and vaqueros and other throwbacks to the conservative heritage of a bygone era I guess.

And yes, they used to shoot animals in the stockyards and eat them in the steakhouses. Not lions but loins.

From the link:

The charges stemmed from a half dozen tweets he had posted online referencing radical Islam along with a Facebook message about the Baltimore riots.

“These hoodrat criminals in Baltimore need to be shipped off and exiled to the sahara desert,” he wrote. “Maybe then they’ll realize how much we provide for them (welfare, college tuition, Obama phone’s, medicare, etc.”

In regards to Islam he wrote, “This is clearly not a religion of peace.”

He also used the word “beaner” a derogatory term to describe Mexicans.

A former middle school classmate took great offense at Harry’s tweets and launched what became a Twitter lynch mob. The unnamed woman, who has no ties to TCU, urged her followers to contact the university and complain. “This a**hole has been posting racist and disgusting comments on Twitter/Facebook,” she wrote on Tumblr. “When I confronted him about it, he referred to me as an ‘Islamic s**thead.”

Why California?

California’s current one party, liberal Democrat state politic is the product of its legislature (among other factors) being run by a TEXAS transplant....Willie Brown!

If other states would keep their nut jobs at home California would revert to it’s former Conservative Republican self!

Note that this forum is in CALIFORNIA! Ronald Reagan was a 2 time CALIFORNIA Governor, elected by what once was a dependably Republican state.

I agree, this is very dangerous that Universities monitor social media. That is why I called TCU fascist

While Texas Christian University is located in the conservative state of Texas, it is neither Christian, nor conservative.

Sounds like it's not even Texan. ;-)

You can only talk like that about Republicans and conservative Christians.

Unreal. Half the people in this eff’d up country should move to a communist country and leave us real Americans alone.
