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.

    How can you believe that you know someone else else’s thoughts without blowing your own head off?

        Of course you were wrong. Apparently, you have more holes in your head than most humans

            Are you on shrooms or acid? Cause I definitely never said that.

            What the fuck is wrong with you?

              I said:

              I assumed you weren’t calling Nazis courageous. Was I wrong?

              You replied:

              Of course you were wrong

              Dunno how else to interpret that.

                Something is extraordinarily wrong with your brain. If you interpreted that in the way you did.

                Your brain is explosively broken

                    Your problems are no longer mine to figure out. I’m gonna block you now. Bother someone else with your problems.

                  That’s how everybody’s interpreting that. That’s the only logical way to interpret that. Maybe you need to reread it. Because if you don’t mean to sound pro Nazi you should change it and change your behavior here, that is how you are coming off to outside observers.

              Cause I definitely never said that.

              You called Nazis “mettlesome.” As another user pointed out, mettlesome means characterized by courage. Rather than just saying “ah, my mistake I must’ve meant meddlesome like you said” you had a weird crashout over being corrected that included you saying someone was wrong to assume you weren’t calling Nazis courageous.

              So not only did you technically say it from the get-go, you then doubled down later on. You said it twice in two different ways.
