MANHATTAN, Kan. (WIBW) - Kansas State is launching an “immediate review of the university’s options” after a tweet by a student making light of the death of George Floyd.

Jaden McNiel, whose Twitter bio identifies him as the president and founder of “America First Students,” wrote: “Congratulations to George Floyd on being drug free for an entire month!”

As a result, as of 11:00 a.m. Friday, “K-State” is trending nationally on Twitter.

Lol

Free speech, adios.

Works both ways. Nobody stopped him from posting it. And nobody should be stopped from criticizing him for it.

Hey! One day at a time.🤪😻🙀

[OrangeHoof]

Touchy, aren’t they?

Joe Biden LOVES to use little girls in his campaign publicity.

Thanks for proving my point.

Thanks for not even bothering to try to bring facts. Thus proving you know you’re wrong but can’t admit it. And now you clearly desperately want the last word, go ahead. I’m sure it will be pointless, probably an insult, and make no attempt at all to address that there is a long established history of expelling students for violating the code of conduct and making the college look bad.

K-State black athletes threatening to leave if an example is not made of this rasist cracka.

I don’t think its nearly as cut and dried as you make it out to be. If he were an employee with an at will contract, sure but the way you describe their power to expel a student there are practically no limits to their powers. The Courts are not going to go along with that.

This kid has a future in stand up. He’d be even funnier if he went to KU.

[Rummyfan]

It may be in poor taste but illegal? No.

[right way right]

Don’t apologize and sue the university.
This is just free speech.

[untenured]

Do you have any jurisprudence to back that up?

[Pining_4_TX]

Great minds think alike! :-)

I'll bet he does!

[Clioman]

Hmm. He hasn’t tried to pass any bogus $20 bills, either. Probably a coincidence.

[Clioman]

What a shame. Don’t let the door hit you on your backsides, fellas.
