A student government leader at the University of Houston was suspended for 50 days and ordered to attend a diversity seminar after she criticized the Black Lives Matter movement online.

Shortly after the July 7 shooting in Dallas that killed five officers, Rohini Sethi went on Facebook and opined “Forget #BlackLivesMatter; more like AllLivesMatter.” The statement was later deleted, but only after numerous UH students denounced it as incredibly offensive or even hateful.

Just a small question:  How does the university teach diversity when it doesn't practice it?  Its like putting books on a mule and calling it educated.

  Its like putting books on a mule and calling it educated.

I think you've pretty much described most institutions of "higher education."

Well, obviously.....that student needs a trip to re-education camp...where she will be taught that 'only' black lives matter, or only Muslim lives matter, or only the lives that our current radical left masters deem worthy matter.  How dare she go off message.

Some diversity is more diverse than others.

By who? or what?

The state government needs to get involved to protect students from this kind of crap.

By who? or what?

That's exactly what I want to know! 50 Days??? I'd take the University to court.  This is ridiculous.  How can anyone DISAGREE to "All lives matter"? Seriously?

"Instead of going through that arduous process, the student senate approved a measure giving SGA president Shane Smith exceptional one-time powers to punish Sethi as he saw fit. In response, Smith released a letter Friday outlining a set of five punishments for Sethi. The punishments include:

1.  A 50-day suspension from SGA starting August 1. This suspension will be unpaid (she currently receives a stipend of about $700 a month).

2.  A requirement to attend a three-day diversity workshop in mid-August.

3.  A requirement to attend three “UH cultural events” each month from September through March, excluding December.

4.  An order to write a “letter of reflection” about how her harmful actions have impacted SGA and the UH student body

5.  An order to put on a public presentation Sept. 28 detailing “the knowledge she has gained about cultural issues facing our society.”

If Sethi refuses or fails any of the requirements, she will be kicked out of SGA entirely."

Sounds like North Korea

You shall attend mandatory ideological lectures and complete a session of public self-criticism, Comrade

[GrouchoTex]

As a parent who has children that received a degree from U of H, I am appalled that they chose to come down so hard on this student. If BLM can exist without censorship, so can opposing views.
We have the right to disagree.
We do not have the right to not be offended from time to time.

"Student governments" are still ridiculously stupid

Saw this coming a LONG time ago.  I was an adult student (age 29) at Kent State in the lat 1980s, when a black cleaning woman claimed she was the victim of a racial slur.  She claimed a certain student walked by in the dormitory where she was working and said "That's a black bitch, I hate her!"

What it was, was he was horsing around with his roommate.  His roommate said something about him and some girl, and he said, "Take it back, bitch!  I hate her!"

The black charwoman complained.  He was promptly expelled.

His father had money, and got a lawyer who took the university into Federal court on claims of violating the student's civil rights.

The University countersued.  They agreed to mediation.

Oh, it gets better!  The kid was allowed to remain at Kent - but ONLY if he changed to a dual-major to include Black Studies and ONLY if he was to write a thesis, graduate-level, on the "effects of racial discrimination on individuals and society."

Amazingly he accepted it.

There is no justice for whites in this racist nation today.  Has not been for a long time...this has been building.

"If Sethi refuses or fails any of the requirements, she will be kicked out of SGA entirely.""

If the young lass is smart, her next stop will be the lawyer's office.

Collect a BIG cash settlement, and then.... go to school somewhere else!

Not so easy as that.

The courts are politicized and are tools of the Leftist agenda.

Just above your post, I recounted what happened in Federal Court thirty years ago, when someone was framed up on-campus at a State University for race-related accusations.  The court tied itself in knots to not have to do what it needed to do, throw the claim out and award the victim damages.

Things are exponentially worse today.
