Expel me from College?

Question

Hi I was trying to start a student organization at my school. We were called The Committee on Racial Integrity and the Furtherance of White Causes. When I was in the process of recruiting members and potential officers I was stopped by the campus police and accused of being a racist and prejudiced when I am not. They said that I would likely be thrown out of school for what I had done.

I had also printed out campaign literature documenting instances in black popular culture that they [the blacks] might want to sooner forget about and statistics on mexicans and blacks that may have provided a discriminatory slant against said peoples.

The main objective of my organization was not to inspire hate but rather pride in the white culture in heritage. It was about Christian, white, young men getting together and celebrating our history as a people in North America. Nothing racist at all about that.

Now my question to you is, do they have the authority to throw me out of school for this?

And plus I am mildly autistic if that helps any.

Answer 1

Yeah this is a tough situation. I think there should be no problem, as long as you promote good and positive things, not about the slavery or anything else that wasn't exactly good.

But I've always wondered why there is so many recognitions for other races, such as Black History Month, but if we were to propose a White History Month we would be considered racist and horrible.

Answer 2

Unless the college's rules violate the rights of a legally protected group (race, s*x, religion, age, disabled, etc.), then they can pretty much do what they like.

You have the right to believe what you want to believe, and to promote your beliefs how you see fit. But you do not have a right to be enrolled in college.

Answer 3

what history? white people slaughtered all the native americans then drove them off their land. we have a great history of violence. is that what you want to promote?

Answer 4

no matter how you describe your agenda its still racist

Answer 5

before you established this organization, did you consult the rules and regulations of your school? the constitution for every clubs and organizations? if such rules exist, you should have. if there are no such printed rules, you have every right to establish any club or organization anytime. the legality of your organization does not depend on its purpose but as to how was it established. did it follow the school protocol? was it approved by school authorities (this may or may not be done depending on your school rules)?

if "illegal" clubs are established in a school, the first disciplinary action should not be expulsion right away. there should be a dialogue between the members of the club and the school administration to clear this matter.
