KA order > Accusations of racism

Last paragraph of section text as of 11/4/19 reads as follows:

"In 2019, the fraternity suspended three members of its University of Mississippi chapter after they posted a photo on an Instagram account showing them posing with guns next to a bullet-riddled sign memorializing Emmett Till, a 14-year-old African-American lynched in Mississippi in 1955.[27] The local U.S. Attorney said that the matter had been referred for further investigation to the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.[27] The students withdraw from the university, but they are not charged with a hate crime.[28]"

Fn 28 links to the following: "White Supremacists Caught at Emmett Till Memorial Making Propaganda Film Jackson Free Press, Nov 2, 2019; retrieved Nov 3, 2019."

Comments:

1. Last sentence of paragraph is ungrammatical; presumably the verb should be "withdrew."

2. The article linked by fn 28 says nothing about either factual claim in the final sentence of the paragraph, the claim that (a) the students withdrew from Ole Miss or the one that (b) they have not been, seemingly implying that they will not be, charged. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.103.115.62 (talk) 18:07, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
