    Not really. Schools expel people all the time for saying/doing reprehensible things.

    Yes, basically first amendment free speech is just about the fact that there can't be laws on the books that prevent someone's right to express their opinion (including even a disgusting one like this K-State student). However, there are non-legal consequences of someone speaking their mind every day. Colleges set their own admission standards as to who they will accept and set their own student conduct policies for their own campus. Even if someone gets kicked out of college for vulgar speech, it doesn't mean their first amendment right was violated as long as they aren't legally prosecuted. Even if this guy was kicked out of K-State nobody is stopping him from exercising his free speech rights. He can keep on saying what he wants to say but he just won't be saying it as a K-State student.

    You are free to say whatever you want, as long as you are ready to face the consequences. Free doesn't mean without consequences.
    A statement like that is despicable. Not really sure what their code of conduct covers, but it could mean expulsion.
