The Lexington Herald Leader has been reporting on Transylvania University student Paola Garcia’s Youtube plea that went viral after she posted it on Sunday.
In a tearful six-minute video posted to YouTube on Sunday, Transy senior Paola Garcia said fellow student Taylor Ragg posted a picture of her Facebook profile, saying, “Everyone go report this illegal at my school bragging about breaking the law.” The profile shows Garcia under a picture of President Donald Trump, which says “Not My President.” [...]
Garcia, who said Ragg made the post in late August, sought help from Transy officials last Friday, but she said, “According to them, his activities don’t violate the school’s non-discrimination policy.”
“It’s obvious that he did,” she says in the video. “It just doesn’t make sense to me how that was their conclusion.”
Ragg, for his part seems to have released an email exchange between he and the school, to an alt-right-seeming website The Narrative Times—which is clearly a tad bit insane when it comes to its use of breathless large font and all-caps to defend all things Trump and anti-DACA. Since then, Transylvania University has sped up its wheels.
Spokeswoman Michele Sparks said senior Taylor Ragg left campus following a grievance process performed by school administrators. Citing federal privacy laws, Sparks said she could not say whether Ragg had been expelled or left voluntarily. [...]
Transy, which came under intense pressure from the public after Garcia said the school had refused to help her, couldn’t comment specifically about the dispute between Garcia and Ragg until Wednesday because of due process requirements, Sparks said.
“The story got ahead of us,” she said. “We need to go through the policy as a university before the decision is made.”
According to the Herald Leader, Ragg’s only response was that the newspaper was “fake news.” Ahhh, the sound of the right-wing bigoted snowflake. A website has been created with the purpose of outing Taylor Ragg. There also seems to be a profile page for Taylor Ragg that’s newly created with video, images and updates.
Here is is Paola Garcia’s original plea on Youtube.
This is reportedly Taylor Ragg with Richard Spencer and another man weeping about how the left wing of our country are bigger snowflakes than they are … you know, as they weep about how intolerant everyone else is … of their intolerance.
