A Texas Christian University student was suspended after Tweeting insulting statements against the Islamic State, Baltimore rioters and against Mexicans. The student, Harry Vincent, was banned from joining university activities like football games, using the university facilities such as cafeteria or recreational center, and was required perform 60 hours of community service and finish a diversity training class, Fox News reported.
The 19-year-old student is a member of the organizations, College Republican and Young Americans for Freedom. The university told him that his particular views were deemed "inappropriate".
The university made a public statement pointing out that, "When a student's conduct violates the university's behavioral standards, they are subject to a disciplinary process, and will be held accountable for their actions," according to Town Hall.
TCU stated that Vincent has violated two provisions of their Student Code of Conduct. According to the university, his online posts were considered as "infliction of bodily or emotional harm" and "disorderly conduct."
One of his Facebook posts states: "These hoodrat criminals in Baltimore need to be shipped off and exiled to the sahara desert. Maybe then they'll realize how much we provide for them (welfare, college tuition, obama's phone's, medicare, etc.)."
He also tweeted derogatory statements describing the rioters in Baltimore as "poor, uneducated druggy hoodrats."
His opinion regarding Islam stated that: "This is clearly not a religion of peace."
He also used the term "beaner" to label Mexicans.
A childhood acquaintance from Maryland compiled all his tweets and posts and went viral through Tumblr. His social media account names were posted so he was immediately identified and that easily caught his school's attention, according to Dailymail UK.
Vincent already apologized for his demeaning posts and has taken responsibility for his comments. He also added said, "However, I still stand behind the fact that nothing I said was breaking a law and was protected under the Constitution."
