Should schools be able to expel students because of their speech

The students shouldn't have been expelled but the fraternity should be shut down.

White people say the n-word in a hateful, racist manner all of the time without being punished. These students simply had the bad luck and poor judgement of recording themselves saying it. That's not a warrant for expulsion. Does that mean that the n-word should be permitted? No but it's not a punishable offense. The students should be required to take history or sociology classes focused on african-american issues without credit and they should be required to get at least an A-.

I don't like the idea of expelling people for hate speech because it forces universities to create a hierarchy of hate speech, which is liable to allow for hate speech against some groups but not others. For instance, I doubt if the students said "beaners won't be allowed in SAE" that they'd be expelled.

I would love to see a list of the kind of Unamerican speech, which can get students expelled.

This has nothing to do with being "Unamerican". Saying the n-word is American as apple pie, baseball and the 4th of July. The problem is that it's racist.
