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.”

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

They didn't in this case, he was ratted out by a woman who disagreed with his posts. She called on many others to also complain about him.

Sounds like TCU is no longer culturally Texan; certainly not Christian; and fast becoming a mockery of the very concept of a University.

If there are still some Conservative Alumni, I would suggest that they start making themselves heard. Meanwhile, someone at a more Conservative University, might consider giving the young man an award recognizing his willingness to speak his mind.

No, I am not per se, anti-Muslim; nor per se, anti-Mexican--but no religion or race is beyond criticism. As for the Baltimore rioters? I would love to hear anyone on the faculty or Administration at TCU endeavor to justify their behavior. Anyone?

Dear Texas, you have a cancer.

We actually have several. Austin could use a tactical nuclear strike to cleanse the area. The large cities (Houston, Dallas) are also being infested by liberals migrating in after having destroyed their previous nest.

“TCU should move its campus to CA.”

That makes sense....Texas Christian University,
Los Angeles. Ha!

No, don’t dump PC crap on Cali this time.
Open your eyes and you will see that the
lefties have over run colleges all over
the US. Hell, check out some of the crap that
has happened at the U of Texas.

BTW, the largest college GOP membership has traditionally
been at Cal Berkeley....

I thought “beaner” was a term of endearment.

“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.”

So? What is untrue about all that? Can’t defend it so go after the person voicing an opinion. I’d rather see a cognitive rebuttal.

Academia is a bigger threat to America than ISIS, Islam, ghettos, illegals, Russia, and Iran.

Academia is its own culture worldwide. It's the same fascist place everywhere outside of a select few colleges.

“Greaser” is the derogatory term, not “beaner.” But I could be wrong. “Wetback” or “Wet Mexican” used to be in common usage in rural, ranching Texas. No one ever meant anything derogatory by it, it was just a fact that those beaners swam over to help on the ranches. Still do, but now they get money and free citizen benefits.

The stuff that guys like txrefugee mock California for was brought about by the emigration of their relatives, neighbors, and friends to California. They saw a paradise of good weather, and a booming economy brought on by a conservative Republican government and changed it into the crap-hole they left behind in their native states....

I don’t blame it all on the liberal wack jobs..... those east coast Rockefeller Republican emigrates had a hand in it too!
