According to KTXS, on Wednesday university officials stated “the message shared by this student is not reflective of the Christian values of our institution.” They also stated they were “actively investigating and taking decisive action.”

No details were released regarding the disciplinary actions regarding the student, but she will no longer attend Hardin Simmons. The school explained it received complaints from multiple students indicating the former’s student message was not “reflective of HSU.”

“As citizens, we have certain rights of freedom of speech in public forums, “said  Dr, Eric Bruntmyer, University President. "However, within the HSU community, that right is always linked with our responsibility as Christians, as well as inherent responsibility for the consequences of our words and our actions.”

"At Hardin-Simmons, we believe and practice unity through loving our neighbor as ourselves and treating all people equally with profound respect," Bruntmyer said. "Hate speech or racist comments by anyone are completely unacceptable and we do not want to condone behavior that questions people’s worth, their value, their dignity, or their equality."

$10 someone mentions that slavery is in the Bible.

Can't wait for the snowflakes to start losing their shyt.

The whiney "you'd betters" vs. the sanctimonious "thou shalts".

Get out the popcorn, this is going to be a good one.

HSU silences free speech. Student was simply expressing what she observed to be an inconsistency in reactions to violence against different groups of people. Fail to see how a Biblical principle was violated. And there are not "certain rights" of freedom of speech. You have freedom of speech or you don't. HSU is saying that you don't at least on their campus. So stop the double-speak. The student is a victim of the larger totalitarian mindset that is dominating social media and news media and seeks to silence views that don't agree with its own. Too bad HSU chooses to give in to this evil rather than stand up and fight against it.
