A K-Stater. That makes sense. It's gross what some find to be humor.
My father's rule on humor: "If you're the only one who thinks it's funny then it wasn't funny; you're just an a$$hole who finds being an a$$hole funny"

Distasteful and there's no doubt the kid is a racist tool, but good luck kicking a kid out of a public institution for that Tweet alone.
I'd just bet this kid is loving the extra attention and would love to be given the boot so he could play the victim and sue the school.
From what I can tell just a student and the head of some right-wing student group.
I don't think there's much of any chance they expel him, and if they do I imagine they've got a legal battle on their hands.
I can understand why football players, and others, don't want him representing K State but I don't think there's a ton the University can do based on that Tweet alone.
I've had friends tell me how their life in rural Iowa is great because they can stay away from drugs.
While they're drinking and driving since it's engrained, and live down the road from heavy alcoholics and could get all sorts of drugs within a 5 mile radius.

Yeah he's definitely a racist *******, but K-State can't avoid people associated with it saying dumb things 24/7. Doesn't make it right, but technically that ******* is allowed to be racist if he wants or at least until Twitter bans him and he finds some other way to be a horrible human being.
Probably true but what I can't imagine is how a guy like that hasn't gotten the **** beaten out of him by someone. Yeah, I know the guy is 100% packing and and just dying to shoot someone but still, it is a state with a violent vigilante history.
Kid is a d-bag, but I'm not sure what they expect. If he is connected to the football program yeah that is one thing, but not sure how you can kick someone out of a public school for that even if they deserve it.
My bold prediction - the student union, woke student govt, diversity campus organizations will have this kid run off campus quickly and loudly.
Oh, that's rich. I remember an a$$hole who posted -- "Just getting myself a chuckle on an otherwise somber day. Try it, it's fun.". Nobody thought it was funny.
Seems like your father knew what he was talking about.
Instead of tweeting the players should have just went and kicked his ass.

Is it?
We'd have to check their student code of conduct. There may or may not very well be reasons in black and white to expel him for white supremacist and nasty speech.
You don't have to be woke to recognize when someone is a colossal ******* and your campus would be better off without them.
That's the problem with the Tweet though. I'm not in any way condoning it. But I'm not sure there's anything overtly racist about the Tweet itself, even if we know given his affiliations and past actions there are likely racist motives to it.
As awful as it is, I can't imagine a joke about a dead person is going to fall under any conduct barred by the Student Code.
