re: Racism in South Carolina

Look, what this student said is offensive, and people are justified in condemning the comments. But Coastal Carolina is a public university governed by the First Amendment, and the student has a right to express herself without sanction, no matter how offensive what she said is to many in the CCU community. CCU is correct in issuing a statement that the comments are offensive, and others in the university are free to condemn the comments vigorously, but that should be the end of the story.
