From his twitter feed, it appears he isn't backing down.

Good! We need more with his courage.

Re: serious and regrettable pushback

Much needed, and long overdue.

Remember that mocking and laughing at the left will burn them quicker than tear gas. They HATE it!

‘Jaden McNiel, whose Twitter bio identifies him as the president and founder of “America First Students,”

why do I think this person as stated above does not exist, and in reality is himself a black...?

I shouldn’t think things like that, should I...?

‘Protected by the 1st amendment’

nope; no more than the Dixie Chicks, or whatever they call themselves now, had when their actions brought unwanted consequences...

‘They can’t legally punish him for that comment. But then they will anyway.’

why do you think that...? K-State is not a governmental entity, and even if Kansas has a constitution modeled on the Bill of Rights, the state university has autonomy to act as it sees fit...

besides which, nobody has actually prevented this guy from speaking, which is what the first amendment protects; he said what he wanted, and on his own volition; no one moved against his right to speech...

But Kansas State is part of the government and is bound by that pesky 1st Amendment.

Assuming it's a public institution they have almost zero recourse.

That 1st Amendment thingy is real pesky, which is why the Left wants to get rid of it.

I do believe it is. It is funded and run by the State of Kansas so first amendment rights are guaranteed by the school. They cannot punish either students or teachers for expressing political opinion. They do. They will. But legally they can’t.

No. Students are in university, even public university, on a revocable contract. 1st amendment does not apply. Not even a little.

Freedom of speech has never included freedom from consequences. Just means the government can’t do anything to you. But everybody else is free to shun, mock and ban you.

Exactly like the Nazis did to the Jews.

Seems to me coordinated attacks ought to be regarded as civil rights violations and perhaps RICO violations.
