Said college doesn't want Johnny Smith on their campus because he either supports Nazism or thinks the whole thing is a joke. So bye bye Johnny. THAT is not a violation of freedom of speech and expression. It's natural consequences for being an idiot.

It is if the college in question accepts taxpayer funding.........

No it's not.

Does every single applicant get in to public colleges and universities? Nope.

Do public colleges and universities pick and choose who they admit based on what they deem to be valuable? Yep.

This is #fakenews. The photographer said it was an ill timed shot of them waving.

I said I was willing to believe that, but the kids and father would rather tell lies.

I also said that a few of the kids probably went along with it, not realizing the significance.

Some of the kids, especially the one doing the white power sign need this tied to them for life. They're old enough to be charged as adults, so the whole kids being kids thing is just bs.

You’re the one who’s triggered and can’t handle reality.

What a f’n weak attempt at obfuscation.

You people will believe and say anything to water down reality - it’s obviously not an “ill timed wave”.

Geez.

They don't look - at all - like they're doing the Nazi salute.

Everyone back to work. Nothing to see here.

The photographer suggested they do a “seig heil”, and there are students on the record stating just that.

Why do you feel the need to provide cover for a bunch of wannabe nazis?

your juvenile cursing is further evidence of your triggered state, and your attempted 'i know you are, but what am i?' repartee is tired and sad

Lol.

You can’t rationally justify their actions, and were the first one to start with “juvenile” name calling.

The only thing that’s “sad”, is that you think you’re being witty.
