I disagree, as soon as the discrimination lawsuit is filed, the University will be writing this kid a big fat check, if he plays his cards right he will never have to work.

There won't be a lawsuit. Not only do this kid's parents want the whole matter to quickly disappear but there's the issue of "Hostile Learning Environment" at play. The song they were singing talked about lynching. That's going to be a problem.

“Hostile learning environment” won’t cut it as long as the “hostility” is created by mere speech. Read Professor Eugene Volokh’s article on this at the Volokh Conspiracy blog (Washington Post). It’s a public university so the First Amendment applies.

I’m pretty much a free speech enthusiast. But that song went beyond the pale. That kid is too stupidly arrogant to escape harsh consequences.

Oh he has a case alright, whether he pursues it is a different story, wait til the dust settles and see what happens. I think he will sue when all is said and done, and the University will pay.

Sounds like the protesters’ death threats outside the family home is a “hostile environment” and a more credible physical threat than a foul song sung on a bus.

Will there be legal prosecutions of the lynch mob?
