    No they didn?t, he was dismissed from the baseball team, not the school and you will find that the Supreme Court has consistently struck down expelling students for racist speech on college campuses unless it incites immediate violence. Schools who have tried to write student code of conduct rules trying to eliminate free speech in some form have not fared well in the courts because just being offensive to a group of people for various reasons but the biggest is they all leave too much gray area for free speech rights to be subverted...and it?s a broad spectrum of right, left, race, culture, etc. speech that the Supreme Court has struck down from public universities attempting to restrict speech. Including cases about racist speech. And the ACLU, who most people identify as strictly as defending left side ideology the vast majority of the time, have also fought hard for right wing extremist speech as well on college campuses. Read a bunch of these decisions guys, I?m not saying that KSU won?t expell him, I?m saying they will lose and lose badly in this case, if he sues them. The Supreme Court has allowed much stronger language, much stronger racists remarks, much harsher bigotry ideals and speech at Universities. Faculty and students alike have said, organized, published, etc. much much worse and been found to have had their rights infringed upon by public universities who expell/fire them for such speech.
