ACLU: Um, Okay, I Guess We Have to Admit the OU SAE Expulsions are Completely Unconstitutional

Earlier the local ACLU had put out a statement reason calls "baffling:"

However, a spokesman with the Oklahoma chapter of the ACLU said it appeared OU had done nothing wrong.
"From everything we've seen it appears the university has stuck by their commitment to due process," Oklahoma ACLU director Ryan Kiesel said. “As deeply disturbing as what (SAE) has done, it appears the university is nevertheless committed to insuring all of their procedural rights.'"

I don't know what's happening to this country, when even the ACLU is getting behind Speech Purges, and only comes out against them when they're embarrassed into doing so.

I have to confess my own bad behavior on this score: My own post was similarly "baffling," despite this also being my pet issue. In my own case, I mistook the situation we were in; I thought the University was within its rights, so that the only thing to be argued over was whether it should do something it had the right to do (a fight I imagined, as I still do, which would be utterly futile*).

In fact, they do not have the right to do it, and universities are required by law, despite being private institutions, to administer questions of the first amendment with all/most of the restrictions placed on the government.

David Harsyani had the right position coming out of the gate. (As did many commenters here.)

Eugene Volokh asks: What's next?

Students talking to each other about a student group event about how Hamas has it right? (The Charter of Hamas, recall, expressly says, "The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him salvation, has said: 'The Day of Judgement will not come about until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say O Moslems, O Abdulla, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. Only the Gharkad tree, (evidently a certain kind of tree) would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.' (related by al-Bukhari and Moslem).") Why, that could be labeled leading an anti-Semitic and exclusionary discussion that, once it’s publicized on campus, creates a hostile educational environment for Jews.
Black students talking to each other about how all whites are racist, and white cops -- and maybe other whites --- should get shot? Again, that could be labeled racist and exclusionary speech that, when publicized, can create a hostile educational environment for whites

Part of my problem with that kind of analysis is this: It is idealistic, and departs far from reality. We all understand the reality we are dealing with: Whites are now legally second-class citizens as regards this sort of law (and many others), and no college would ever try to boot out students for the kind of "racism" Volokh discusses. Oh, I suppose maybe some explicitly, actually Christian university might try the former, but they'd be backed down quickly after a bevy of lawyers and newsvans swarmed the campus.

No, what we are talking about with these Speechcraft trials is more-or-less explicitly a tool for non-whites to punish whites. (Caveat: Conservative minorities can expect to be treated as "white" for these purposes, because Race Traitors.)

And no, that's not just An Racist talking. The leftwingers pushing these Speechcraft trials are admirably upfront about their belief that speech codes bind "Oppressors" only, and do not bind "The Oppressed."

There is even a claim made -- frequently -- that blacks are definitionally incapable of being racist, no matter how filled with racist animus a particular black person might be. The silly claim goes that Racism equals Racial Animus Plus Power, and as they have explicitly defined themselves as the powerless Oppressed, it is actually impossible for a black person to be racist.

(They ignore the situations in which black people do in fact have "power" over other people. But that's what silly ideologues do, ignore reality.)

So really the only realistic situation where this sort of unconstitutional-but-politically-correct persecution happens is against one of the "Oppressor" cohorts (white, male, cisgendered, Christian, etc.) for the socially hard-to-defend speech that upsets one of the designated "Oppressed" castes (nonwhite, female, gay or trans, Muslim etc.)

Trotting out "what if they do it to Muslims" or "what if they do it to blacks" is silly-- Muslims and blacks know they won't do it to them. These sorts of unjust prosecutions are nothing but upside for the "Oppressed" -- they are a wonderful vehicle for inflicting cruelty upon hypothetical Oppressors, but they have near-zero chance of being turned against "the Oppressed" themselves.**

Perhaps we need to change that. Perhaps we need to inflict as much stupid cruelty versus these things on the so-called "Oppressed" to achieve a Balance of Terror on the process, an aversion about it from all sides.

But that's silly too: Liberals in universities are not going to also bring unconstitutional speech prosecutions against blacks, gays, women, and Muslims.

I don't know. I have no idea.

Pretty much the country is lost.

* My crusades of late have been about situations where a company has a right to fire an employee (and a company has the right to fire any white at-will employee, and most people under contract, too), but which could be pressured, possibly, into not exercising that right. My thinking was, if a Mob pressured them to harass someone for his speech, another Mob -- a better Mob -- can pressure them into not harassing someone for his speech.

I thought, incorrectly it turns out, that OU had the right to do this, so we were in a Clash of Mobs situation, and I figured our Mob had no chance.

But it's a different thing entirely if OU actually has no right to do this in the first place.

** This mode of argument is of possible usefulness with Liberals. However, it is useless with Leftists. A Liberal might actually care that what is sought is a two-tiered system of justice and rights.

A Leftist cares, too, but he's in favor of that, explicitly. Perhaps there was a time with Leftists would lie about their objective; but they're admirably forthright now. If you tell a Leftist, "But you're creating a system wherein whites have lesser speech rights than blacks," the Leftist will say, proudly, "Exactly."

The media likes to talk about conservatives become MOAR XXXTREME; they never seem to notice that many former marginal Liberals are now simply Leftists, and that all Leftists have become more radicalized and militant about their Leftism.***

*** It is useful to note that "social justice" expressly means group justice, as opposed to individual justice; the very notion of "social justice" is intended as a corrective to the perceived perfidies of individual justice.

Leftism is exactly antithetical to the Enlightenment values of justice for each individual, the cornerstone of the liberal tradition (of which liberal conservatives are the most fructuous and vigorous descendants). Leftism posits that doing justice in each individual case will result in "injustices" for the Oppressed groups who are Poorly Served by Your White Man's Justice; "social justice" is therefore explicitly about one group demanding collective punishment of another group.

And the Left has not created this system so that they may be punished by it; as I already mentioned, they have a great many doctrines justifying explicitly two-tiered, race-conscious "justice." The "Racism = Racial Animus Plus Power" is simply the most well known and easiest to repeat doctrine. It's so simple, in fact, that idiots like Spike Lee can understand it and are fond of repeating its stupid falsity.

19 Almost anything said that is controversial is going to offend someone. Nobody seems to mind when the person being offended is white, Christian, or pro-US, and that is where the slippery slope begins. There should not be criminal or financial penalties applied to speech, no matter how offensive it is, coming from a governmental or quasi-governmental agency, and the only penalty from private interests should be in refusing to do business with them.

25 Country's not lost, but for the longest time (and perhaps even today) an honest discussion on race was discouraged on AoSHQ, with inevitably some silly little "cleanup on aisle 36" comment whenever a poster acknowledges that, as it stands today, blacks hate whites. Not all, mind you, but close to the 95% who voted for Obama ... TWICE.

The Race War began some time ago -- maybe it never really stopped, I dunno -- but the first step toward fixing a problem is correctly acknowledging the problem, and I'm delighted these doors for discussion seem to be opening a crack on this otherwise phenomenally accommodating site.

70 If you disagree with what OU did, you're a Klansman.

--

There is a movement trying to ensure that a double standard is applied to the chosen group versus the unwelcome group. The reasoning is that the unwelcome group is often the one who pays the bills or carries the weight of the system, so they must be either enslaved, or held to a different standard, so that they can be milked while not enjoying the fruits of the system. Note that this also applies to the political parties, so that certain types of democrats are kept from the spoils system, and that certain types of republicans (read: Tea Party) are driven out in the primary process. The process also applies everywhere from college campuses to boardrooms. It isn't a conspiracy, it is human nature. Orwell noted it well when he observed the communist systems.

We still have a choice to be here-for when our kids come home from school, when our spouse wants to tell us about their hard day at work, to listen and pray when someone on the board needs prayer, to go out in the sunshine and take a walk to get their 10,000 a day steps,, to call Senators or Congresspeople, to write important blogposts on politics, Every day we have choices for good or evil which cannot be taken away from us unless we cannot rationally think or relate to others. This man, Fr, Walter Ciszek, a Priest from PA imprisoned in the Soviet Union, tortured and sent to the gulags and then returned to America says this much better than I ever could about freedom:

Oh, also whites invented AIDS and crack to kill off blacks. And they put STDs in condoms to make black men sterile. (all of those statements are fairly common in the black community)

And the rampant conspiracy nonsense urban legends make it easy to see why so many people still buy the 'Wilson executed Michael Brown with his hands up' BS.

A "candid camera" type of documentary where blacks are interviewed about the racism they have personally suffered.

No, not the ginned up racism they heard some black, some where suffered--the actual, real-life examples of what racist acts they think they have been subject to.

I wonder: Are the people who say real racism is largely dead in this country right?
Or are the blacks who say racism is alive and well and widespread right?

That, that would be an honest conversation about race in this country.

You know what events I have personally witness where a black person has claimed racism?

A busy restaurant and bar on a Friday night in Dallas--nobody is getting a table in under an hour--but the black fellow started throwing a fit.
A busy store on a Saturday afternoon in San Francisco in a shopping district, two sales clerks and something like 20 people in the store. The black guy starts shouting about how it's racist he's not getting helped.

Whitey invented the criminal justice system to keep the black man down. That's why 1 out of 3 black men will see the inside of a prison in their lifetime.

Cops are racist, judges are racist, prisons are racist, laws are racist, and besides, this country was founded by racist slave owners who had the gall to say "all men are created equal" while they had their slaves cleaning their houses.

This is all pretty well accepted in the black community and in our public school system and in academia and in government and anywhere blacks and/or white liberals are.

129 I know it rankles some people, but this is the problem with lawyers. You talk yourselves into circles of logic, where common sense and reasonable decency are not part of the equation.

Either what these kids did was bad and therefore punishable, or it wasn't. And if the Constitution says we don't punish people for speech, then we shouldn't. Parsing this down, depending on whether this is a public institution or not SHOULD NOT matter.

The only reason it does is because lawyers are in the business of interpreting law.

I say this with complete sincerity: Lawyers should either be in the business of making law, or interpreting it. Not both. Because we live in a land where the average lay person CAN NO LONGER interpret law for himself, we have lost many of our most basic freedoms.

We won't get them back until we ditch this rule of lawyers, and go back to rule of law.

The cocaine content was nearly zero in 1903 and gone by the 1920s. I told this man that if he could find a can of CocaCola from the 1970s with any amount of cocaine in it he'd be a wealthy man. This would not be hard to do because people collect old cans. Full or empty you could get a swab.

Schools have the right to yank a fraternity charter, since a fraternity is essentially a school-endorsed club.

That being said, assuming the school doesnt own the fraternity house (they may or may not), they have no right to kick the kids out of the house and tell them they dont have the "freedom of assembly" to continue fratdoggin it up.

But i think SAE nationals also yanked the OU SAE's charter, so they couldn't continue to operate under that name.

The house will die out pretty quickly once the school stops recognizing them as a legitimate house.

Yellow #7 or whatever (one of those dyes that used to be in mountain dew and in the "drink" juices) also causes infertility in black men.

172 The hoist by their own petard argument has been going on for decades. The problem is that the Right, writ large, is unwilling to use those tools since those tools are terrible.

A Leftist cares, too, but he's in favor of that, explicitly. Perhaps there was a time with Leftists would lie about their objective; but they're admirably forthright now. If you tell a Leftist, "But you're creating a system wherein whites have lesser speech rights than blacks," the Leftist will say, proudly, "Exactly."

Yup.

This is why I must be read out of existence. My very existence denies the Leftist demand in pure identity politics and their claim to be able to set the terms as to what is authentic and true and what is not.

Of course there is a grain of truth in that thinking; white doctors did deliberately give blacks syphilis in the 1930s, and abortions are part of the eugenics agenda to get rid of blacks. Of course the people doing all of this were Democrats - but I guess that if blacks can be conned into voting for the party of the Ku Klux Klan and against the party that was specifically formed to abolish slavery - that they can also be conned into backing the very people who are trying to kill them.

Then at some moment a little after midnight, something clicked in this guy's head and he starts getting aggressive with everyone, saying we're all racist and cursing at everyone, slinging racial insults at us, the whole shebang.

It seemed to come out of nowhere, and really surprised everyone. I didn't get to hear from him once he got sober because I went after him after he called my sister a "white bitch" and he was "escorted" from the house.

Heh.

Well to be fair, I think part of the disconnect is that white liberal politicians have convinced blacks (and others, of course) that government is awesome and infallible.

So if government says drugs are illegal and guns need to be permitted, etc., yet drugs and illegal guns are plentiful... well, how do you square that circle?

Easy. Obviously the government keeps illegal guns and drugs out of WHITE neighborhoods, but purposefully flood black neighborhoods with them so that they kill each other and/or all go to jail.

Because the if all powerful government REALLY WANTED to keep guns and drugs out of the ghetto, of course they could. But they secretly want them there.

That's where all of this stuff is borne of. We see that and say, "yep, typical government. They suck at everything." Blacks say, "yep, typical government. They're all powerful, they can do whatever they want to black people and white people secretly cheer it on." and white liberals feed in to that narrative constantly.

For example, he got pulled over for driving with expired plates, and the cops impounded his car. When he told us about it at first, he was like "yeah, I probably should have stayed on top of renewing my registration, my bad." At the bar that weekend though, the story morphed in to how a racist white cop was out trying to find anything he could to ruin a black guys day.

I wasn't there, so I don't know what happened. But I mean... yeah dude, if you drive around with expired tags, you're most likely going to get pulled over. Cops have license plate scanners on their trunks, they scan every plate they drive past and if one comes back "expired" they're not going to ignore it, no matter who is driving the car.

229 Expired tags are no jokes. Cops will leave you on the side of the road with a ticket in your hand and tow the car to an impound lot that charges a shit ton of money for the tow and to "store" the car.

Oh, and you can't get the car out until you show proof of the registration being current, or if you show up with a flat bed truck.

Like most off-the-wall completely cuckoo bullshit leftists throw out every day about subjects such as feminism and race, it actually hurts their cause.

It's entirely possible some of these people of whom we speak have indeed endured racism, or sexism. However, when they turn the grievance up to 11 and find racism and sexism in everything, it makes a liar out of them and then no one wants to hear anything about either topic.

Very few people who are still alive have experience "institutional racism" in the sense that their governments made laws specifically targeting people by race. Those that did lived under progressive D governors and D legislatures in the south post - Plessy (so the jim crow days).

Do people still have unpleasant "bullying" experiences based on their race or gender? Yeah, probably. But who doesn't go through that kind of shit?

To me, that's a way lesser problem. Yes, bullying is bad and it sucks and we should (in our personal lives) call people out who say / do mean / rude things just to be dicks, regardless of the race / sex / body type / whatever of the victim.

But that's VERY different from government-enforced discrimination.

Go to any urban/ black blog about anything celebrity gossip Daily news , movies , every second comment racist diatribe against whites or any race not of their own
Most racist, tribal people in America, while whites with help from people like Ace are being conditioned to not say, think any negatives thoughts about blacks in general or person.

Police deaths are up 50% in 2014, police or being conditioned forfeit their own lives before they shoot a black person in self defense, even now studies and stactics bare it out white cops will shoot white suspect in self defense and hesitate to shoot black suspect in self defence, kinda puts them in danger when blacks are 55% of all violent crime .

256 228 comments as I post this. I do not have the time to read all of them, so what I am saying has probably been posted, and maybe even refuted by many.

But, I agree, sadly, the country is lost. Not only politically, but generationally. There are moment when I simply want to disappear, to run off to some unkown hidden location in the mountains, get off of the grid, and live the simplistic lifestyle of survival. There are other times when I see that it is truly time for a grand revolution, where we fight, to the very end for our rights and freedoms, where we totally and completely defeat the forces of evil that are being waged against us.

I do see a glimmer of hope in that some of the younger generation are actually thinking critically, on their own, and I hope that maybe more of them will come to the conclusion that what they see, hear and are taught in the universities and school systems are not just wrong, but evil, coming from the mouths and mind of group think, where one can have no other opinion, or thought, other than those than that they are programmed to speak or think.

I simply do not know. Maybe I am just old, tired, worn out, Maybe I have been too disillusioned from watching our party make some great advances, electorally, to take back control of the entire Congress, and even the Presidency, simply to be sold out to Establishment interests. I, for one, do not have the time to wait for the emergence of some grand new Political Party which will rise to power (only to eventually succumb to the corruption and evil of Washington D.C.).

Maybe it's time for Texas, and like minded states to simply secede, to bow out of this grand experiment that we once, proudly, called the United States.

As I said, I simply do not know at this point which way I am leaning. I will keep doing my part, but, at times, it simply feels hopeless.

257 This is incorrect. In the Tuskegee experiment the men already had
Syphilis. What the experimenters did, which was criminal and terrible,
was to pretend to treat it. Their goal was to watch what happens with
untreated Syphilis.

Yes that is correct - over the years I had forgotten the specifics of what happened - thanks for the correction.

As someone in the "younger generation," I disagree.

Yes, many of my contemporaries see our government as shitty, corrupt, and inept.

But they DON'T see free markets as the solution. That's what rich white people want, and my generation is about as averse to rich white people as any generation ever.

Also, for many cities (and I think I read it's true nation-wide now) there are more minority students enrolled in schools than white students.

So it will not be long before socialists from central america and other assorted imported Dem voters outnumber "white people" and the system of government that has been built in this country.

The left has spent 100 years taking over the schools so that they can propagandize generations of children against "the white mans patriarchy" and our unjust, horrible system of government, founded by unjust, horrible, racist, slave owning white men who didn't want to pay their fair share of taxes to the King.

As I've said before.. I think it's too late to really fix this situation.

279 I think UO runs into constitutional problems specifically because it's a *public* University, so (courts have held) it has to apply the first amendment to its students.

Private universities don't have to do this, as a legal matter. Mind you, they end up having to follow all kinds of rules because of the strings attached to various federal grants (Title IX being the gold-plated example), but they're always free to say "keep your filthy government money, we're following our own rules". A public university doesn't have that option.
