Sigma Phi Epsilon has suspended the Alpha Chapter at the University of Mississippi because some of its members are suspected of hanging a noose and placing a Georgia flag on the statue of James Meredith, the first black student to enroll at the university. The FBI is investigating; however, the local district attorney said it's unlikely any charges will be filed by his office because the statue was not damaged and the students were not trespassing.
We've come to this -- it's free speech if you want to desecrate the American flag or burn a Republican President in effigy, but putting a piece of rope and a state flag on a statue is not.
