Two Oklahoma students expelled for racist video

The University of Oklahoma on Tuesday expelled two students accused of playing a "leadership role" in a fraternity's racist video.

University President David Boren issued a statement saying the investigation into the Sigma Alpha Epsilon video was continuing.

"I have acted today to expel two students who were leaders in the singing of a racist chant," Boren said in a tweet that linked to the statement. When the identities of others involved is confirmed, they will face "appropriate disciplinary action," he said.

They were wrong to use the n-word, but why expel two of them and kick SAE out of OU.

I have seen frats that have done worse through hazing that results in death and they get suspended.  :???: :wtf2:

You can burn the flag, throw rocks at cops and it's all about free speech and tolerance but use the "N" word and the world crashes down on you....if you're not black that is.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

I'm of 2 minds on this.
One is, in this day and age, who would think they could get away with such brazen racism.
The other is addressed in JohnnyReb's post in that speech codes are politically directed.
