Colorado College Student Suspended 2-Years For Yik Yakking That Black Women “Matter, They’re Just Not Hot”
We already know you can get in some deep shit for posting anonymous threats on Yik Yak and saying you plan to shoot people. That makes sense. But was what this kid posted worthy of the two-year suspension he was dealt?
According to The FIRE, Thaddeus Pryor (frat name) is banned from stepping foot on the Colorado College campus or taking classes at other institutions for academic credit because he responded to a Yak that said “#blackwomenmatter” with “They matter, they’re just not hot,” in November.
(Side note: The article wasn’t totally clear, but I think he can get academic credit at another school, it just won’t count towards a degree from Colorado College).
Keep in mind, Colorado College is a tiny-ass liberal arts school with around 2,000 students in the most progressive place in America. If there’s any college that’s going to play the “we’re a private organization and we can kick out who we want” card over an offensive line posted on Yik Yak, it’s this one.
The Yak clearly wasn’t a threat, so Thaddy-boy’s freedom of speech should be preserved. He defended himself by saying it was a joke and is currently seeking an appeal.
I disagree with punishing Thad for the Yak, but I disagree with the Yak, too. There are SO many sexy black women out there.
That shit just don’t come on a white girl..

I have just pulled my application from Colorado College for this reason. Besides it was a backup school with terrible fraternities… #classywednesday
Pulling application because of infringement on first amendment. TPM (patriotic)

10 years ago at 12:18 amI lived very close to the college campus. And I completely disagree with the whole “one of the most progressive cities in America.” If Colorado Springs is so progressive, why is is one of the few cities in the state that still has a ban on recreational marijuana? And why did Forbes rank it the 4th most conservative city in the nation? Also, as stated in a previous TFM article, there are no hotties there to begin with. That was a big reason why I moved. So I guess I agree with Thad and disagree with Boosh.
