Apparently a person dress in a Confederate outfit who saluted infront of a statue to honor his ancestors had to be escorted out in a police car.
The part that surprised me was two things
1) How in your face the people who just showed up to yell at this kid who wasn't doing anything
2) How they shook off the blame for the riot and pushed it onto the police entirely.
Don't worry though the kid was kicked out of school for doing this completely legal activity. Said person is Anti-Nazi / Anti-Fascist who finds their attaching themselves to confederate history to be insulting.
Should I be linking? I am sure there is more to this, but I am more interested in some of the surface details.
Not sure about that specific student. But PCC was known* as an insane, almost cult like, college. It was not accredited meaning classes from there would not transfer to other schools nor were many of its degrees recognized as having much value. Among other things, besides apparently limiting their students from saluting Confederate statues, they require their students outside of campus to be in single sex groups at all times. Men and Women are not allowed to meet off campus or interact alone on campus, even by accident. As part of their studies (possibly only for the ministry degree) they're required to stand on street corners and in public spaces and preach to passerby. Punishments include being assigned to a 24/7 chaperone you must even share a room with at night. They don't even simply watch for bad behavior, they troll social media trying to trap PCC students into doing something against the rules.
For all we know the college kicked him out for idolatry rather than any semi-sane reason.
*"Was known." Last I did research into this particular college was several years ago. It's possible they've changed, but I'm going to assume nutjobs are going to remain nutjobs.
