What kind of B.S. society have we evolved into? Anyone, anywhere (in public, TV, or elsewhere) can criticize and lambaste the Christian faith and mock priests and scandalize those who hold strong to moral and spiritual values. But universities and other institutions are scrutinizing every word, thought or printed item by anybody (teacher, student, et al.) if it says anything negative or critical of Black Lives Matter? Also, of gay marriage, of transgenders, anything muslim, illegal immigrants and a few other sacred cows? And no one in the media or government is really crying foul?
This is so unbelievable what a sham of a moral and ethical and freedom of speech nation we have become. Of course it seems rather apparent a huge swath of young people, even a majority, have bought into this rhetoric and totally unjust ideology. So now this student at Purdue is called before the board or regents or the dean or whoever because on his own personal facebook he wrote “Black Lives Matter is trash because they do not really care about black lives. They simply care about making money and disrupting events for dead people.” And so they decided against expelling him for that --- really?... like they might have? And not only that, it becomes a big news event of sorts? Have far this nation has fallen.

Purdue won't expel student who criticized Black Lives Matter | Fox News
Purdue University will not expel a student who reportedly faced the possibility of being kicked out of school and received death threats for criticizing Black Lives Matter on Facebook.
Joshua Nash, a biology major who is gay and refers to himself as a “dangerous faggot” in his Twitter bio (a reference to conservative commentator Milo Yiannopoulos) was summoned to a mandatory “Administrative Meeting” after a student reported a posting of his made on Facebook. According to Nash, the Facebook posting was to the effect that “Black Lives Matter is trash because they do not really care about black lives. They simply care about making money and disrupting events for dead people.”
Nash says that when he called the university administration for clarification about this hearing, he was told he could face consequences for his posting up to and including expulsion.
On Wednesday, after widespread media attention to the issue — including fromHeat Street and The Drudge Report — the university is reaffirming its commitment to free speech and saying that the school merely wants to engage in “dialogue” with the student and offer him “support.”
The statement issued to Heat Street — similar to one issued to The College Fix— reads as follows:
Media reports on this matter have simply been inaccurate. Purdue University stands for freedom of expression. Purdue Northwest has never suggested, let alone threatened, the idea of disciplining the student in question for exercising his right to freedom of expression. When, as here, an administrative meeting is called with a student on our Purdue Northwest campuses, the purpose is to explore possible ways to support or establish a dialogue with that student, not to discipline him or her. Protecting free speech is of central importance at Purdue, a commitment recognized by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education when it conferred on Purdue Northwest its highest “green light” rating for its speech policies. Nothing involved in our administrative meeting process represents an abridgment of that stance.
