I whole heartedly agree that there is no place for discrimination against people for their race, religion, gender, etc. With that said, I am glad there weren’t 4K HD cameras and cell phones around to record every really dumb thing I said or screamed at the opposing teams or refs as an inebriated co-ed…. and that was back in the early 00’s….

If I was in charge, I would lean more towards a mandatory civics course focused on educating the involved parties about how we got to

the point where we need to have protected classes as opposed to expelling them or ruining their lives forever.

Educate about "protected classes?" What would that have to do with this offensive behavior?

Protected classes is broad enough to apply to lots of groups that are often discriminated against, including religious groups. I believe that applies here.

College is a time to make mistakes, learn, and grow. When I read Fredrick Douglas’s biography it radically changed my understanding on how I thought about slavery and racial discrimination vs what I learned growing up in Texas in the 90s.
