A White Nationalist Wrote a Law School Paper Promoting Racist Views. It Won Him an Award.

Whatevs Atticus wannabe...

 

When you say “must not be that bad”, that *IS* defending it. You get that?

I have zero interest in reading white nationalist trash or any rationalizations an articulate Nazi might have. The synopsis and social media hostility is enough for me. If you want to make defensive proclamations like “must not be that bad” maybe the onus is on you to read it?

 

So if a liberal writes a paper promoting Marxism, Socialism or communism, should we ban that student as well?

 

You think writing a paper promoting socialism is comparable to calling for the elimination of Jews by all means necessary?

 

If a liberal, writers a paper with the premise that “We the People” only included white male to promote DEI policies, are we going to ban that paper? Who makes the judgement as to what is allowed? I am sure some liberal administrator gets to make that call in your world.

 

No that’s antisemitism, which violates freedom of religion.

 

UF didn't ban him for writing the racist paper, they gave him an award for it. He was banned for calling for the elimination of Jews on social media among other things that could be seen as threatening.

 

Not sure why a lawyer would be writing a paper advocating communism. That would seem to me more in the realm of economics. An economics student writing a paper advocating communism could be handled by giving them an F grade, as it shows they don’t actually understand economics and probably need a new major! I don’t think that alone would be grounds for expulsion the same way as advocating a white ethnostate or genocide against Jews, which would be more akin to writing a paper on how to violently achieve communism.

 

As I said it my original post, if he did something more than writing a paper, action against the student could be justified.

 

What do you consider "something more"? Is calling for genocide on social media good enough to ban him from campus? I mean, that is just writing stuff, too ...

 

Florida undergrad. Utah Law School, which is higher ranked than UF law school.

 

Taking action would be trying to organize vandalism, protests and etc that creates an unsafe environment for Jews or discriminated against them in some way other than simply expressing their view.

I support freedom of speech expression and debate on all issues, so long as it doesn’t cross the line in discrimination and creating an unsafe environment.

 

Per the articles the action was taken based on his extremist social media rhetoric. Sounds to me based on the timing he was taking flak for the paper (which was circulating among students) and then had a meltdown which exposed his more violent views on social media and that’s what got him trespassed. Sounds from the quotes this guy was previously known to fellow students and faculty as well.

The paper is just sort of an embarrassment in retrospect that UF “awarded” a legal paper calling for a white ethnoststate.

 

Around the same time all this law school stuff was apparatly going on behind the scenes, there was a girl suspended for 3 years from UF who basically didn’t do anything at all except not leave one of those Gaza protests in a timely fashion. A disciplinary board recommended to reinstate, but the political higher ups suspended her 3 years because “anti-semitism”.

If that 3 years is the standard for a girl who did not advocate violence, what should the standard be for a male who suggests ethic cleansing (white ethnostate) and elimination of Jews “by any means necessary”?

 

If it was as stated, then they should both be treated equally. However, I haven’t read the case or facts, but even as you word it, I have concerns there is more to the story.

 

I don’t believe so. Regardless if he is Muslim Jew or Christian, it’s all the same to me. I have studied all religions, and always open to a debate on religion. All religions have good intention, it’s always a few extremists that give it a bad name. Just like doctors lawyers and etc.

 

You obviously didn’t go to law school. 99% of students are further left than you could ever lean. I’m shocked this guy was admitted to UF Law honestly if he was an outspoken as this pre-law.

 

Doesn't check out ... just yesterday you cited "death to America" chants as a justification to bomb Iran... seems words do mater to you sometimes, just depending on who is saying them....

 

Let’s impugn one persons thoughts and one professors grade to every Republican. Sound logic.

 

Death to America and taking steps to eliminate America is much more dangerous. You are comparing apples to oranges.

Two students expressing their views have no power to wipe out an entire country.

Besides we merely eliminated Iran’s ability to create nuclear warheads anytime soon. We didn’t declare war on Iranians or a religious group.
