The University of Florida campus group says the suspension over an off-campus post violated free speech
A dispute among student Republican groups in Florida over alleged antisemitic behavior is heading for a courtroom after a chapter at the state’s flagship university was suspended for an online post featuring two people giving Nazi salutes.
On Saturday, University of Florida (UF) blocked campus operations of the school’s College Republicans after the group’s state leadership said it had disbanded the chapter for engaging in “a pattern of conduct that violated its rules and values, including a recent antisemitic gesture”.
The chapter responded Monday by filing a free speech lawsuit against UF leadership, arguing that the action violated the constitutional first amendment rights of a member engaging in an off-campus activity.
These Republicans are Nazis. Nazis have a basic plank of calling for the death of groups of people based upon race, ethnicity, birth defects, and even world views (Communists, Atheists).
The university has every right to protect the other students at the university from genocidal maniacs. It’s not an issue of Tolerance. These Nazis broke the social contract of a pluralistic society so they’re no longer protected by the contract.
