Still no definition of what racism is. Is it a crime? Is it offensive speech? What is the purpose of the First Amendment? To protect speech that we love? Wah. I don't like what he said, throw him off campus.

The University of Oklahoma closed a fraternity linked to a video of students singing racial epithets, ordered its members to move out of the house and labeled the actions of those involved “disgraceful.”
“Effective immediately, all ties and affiliations between the university and the local SAE (Sigma Alpha Epsilon) chapter are hereby severed,” University President David Boren said on Monday.
Members have until midnight on Tuesday to vacate the premises and people could be seen loading goods into moving trucks behind the fraternity house.

“To those who have misused their free speech in such a reprehensible way, I have a message for you. You are disgraceful,” Boren said.

“We apologize for the unacceptable and racist behavior of the individuals in the video, and we are disgusted that any member would act in such a way,” Sigma Alpha Epsilon’s national headquarters said in a statement after verifying its OU members were involved.
