Parents & Students are upset about what took place between a student & representatives at Arkansas State University One student wrote I just got off the phone with the Chancellor’s office at Arkansas State University regarding what’s been happening on campus. It is extremely disappointing and unacceptable that representatives... from Turning Point USA are reportedly on campus making derogatory and racist remarks toward Black individuals—using terms like “ghetto,” “dusty,” and “ashy.” That kind of language is harmful, disrespectful, and creates a hostile environment for students. Yes, A-State is a public university, and I understand that under the First Amendment, even offensive speech can be protected. Court rulings like Brandenburg v. Ohio make it clear that speech is protected unless it incites imminent violence or is a direct threat. But let’s be clear just because something is legally protected does NOT make it right. Universities still have a responsibility to ensure their students feel safe, respected, and supported. Speech that targets and degrades people based on race can contribute to a hostile and discriminatory environment, and that should never be ignored. This is bigger than “free speech.” This is about dignity. This is about respect. This is about protecting ALL students. I am calling on Arkansas State University to take this seriously, review the situation, enforce their policies, and stand firm in their commitment to an inclusive campus. We can uphold free speech AND hold people accountable for harmful behavior at the same time. NAACP NAACP highlight #lrhnshow more
