Five students at the University of Texas (UT) lost their scholarships because they kneeled during the national anthem to protest racial injustice. This caused a lot of debate.
Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick started the kneeling protest in 2016. It has since become a strong way to fight against racism and police brutality. The UT players joined a larger movement that was calling for justice for groups that were being ignored.
People have very different thoughts on UT’s claimed scholarship withdrawal. People who support the athletes say they should be able to use their First Amendment rights to speak out, especially about important problems like racial inequality.
Others say that punishing students for protesting goes against the university’s goal to build a welcoming and diverse community and violates their right to free speech.
As student activity grows, colleges and universities across the country have to make a tough choice. Will they put institutional rules and customs ahead of their duty to protect free speech, even when it’s controversial? The result of this debate will have long-lasting effects on how colleges handle the areas where free speech, activism, and education all come together.
