KU theta should be ashamed

by:    

All I have to say... theta should be ashamed for silencing someone’s voice. Certain views can be pushed, advocated and beyond heard while others are shoved to the shadows and punished for the slightest things. Shame on theta. Shame on KU.

YESSS. agreed. Theta...... ever heard of freedom of speech???? You’re lucky you’re not getting sued.

You know freedom of speech protects you only from the government stopping you from voicing your opinions, right? Other people can call you out for saying bs

Call out whoever you want. Have the conversation. Try to convince but never strive to silence. And never ask anyone to disregard their deeply held beliefs and conform to yours. That kind of mentality only breeds resentment and does not change hearts. Only true problem with the ‘sentence’ is the one sided hypocrisy of it. Probation sent the wrong message, as if thinking for yourself is a crime. Bring in all parties involved, let them each pick materials that represent their views. View them together and have the discussion. That is how you model ‘positive collegial discussion’. Don’t punish people for expressing themselves.

It seems to me like Theta was not shaming her for her views, but rather her personal attacks against other members. That article doesn't appear to be the full story.

People every day who are liberal post but the day someone who is conservative speaks up about the TRUTH she’s shunned. Smh. Ridiculous. That’s not freedom of speech, theta.

a private organization can choose to hold members accountable to certain social media guidelines. therefore, this is not a violation of free speech. it's the same rule/policy that exists as if a member would post a picture with a red solo cup in letters, etc. it simply does not uphold the values of theta, therefore there is punishment along with the action. this is not a violation of free speech, just an organization reprimanding a member for not following their specific guidelines.

Srats are vilified for many actions of their members and an individual's actions easily impacts all the members of the srat, thus members sign a media contract while active members. Extreme views either way, improper dress, drinking in photos, pda in photos are all discouraged. Each private srat has same media policies to prevent individuals actions being interpreted as views of the whole group. Members can drink, hold extreme views, etc, they are just encouraged to keep extreme behaviors off social media. Its a private club and can require members to be more private online.

While CO has large following, she should do a better job checking facts. Go to factcheck.org on this.. which notes her allegations are completely false.
