Writing “All Lives Matter” Gets Texas Student Suspended, Sent To Diversity Workshop
A student government leader at the University of Houston was suspended for 50 days and ordered to attend a diversity seminar after she criticized the Black Lives Matter movement online.
Shortly after the July 7 shooting in Dallas that killed five officers, Rohini Sethi went on Facebook and opined “Forget #BlackLivesMatter; more like AllLivesMatter.” The statement was later deleted, but only after numerous UH students denounced it as incredibly offensive or even hateful.
“Just for her to say, ‘forget Black Lives Matter,’ is a punch in the stomach,” student Nala Hughes told a local press outlet at the time.
Sethi serves as the vice president of UH’s student government association (SGA), and several UH students demanded her immediate removal.
A full removal of Sethi has significant hurdles, though. The student government constitution requires the student body president, president of the student senate and three-fourths of present student senators to approve impeachment proceedings. Sethi would then be tried by the student supreme court. (RELATED: U-Houston Faculty Told To Avoid Sensitive Topics To Keep Students From Shooting Them)
Instead of going through that arduous process, the student senate approved a measure giving SGA president Shane Smith exceptional one-time powers to punish Sethi as he saw fit. In response, Smith released a letter Friday outlining a set of five punishments for Sethi. The punishments include:
- A 50-day suspension from SGA starting August 1. This suspension will be unpaid (she currently receives a stipend of about $700 a month).
- A requirement to attend a three-day diversity workshop in mid-August.
- A requirement to attend three “UH cultural events” each month from September through March, excluding December.
- An order to write a “letter of reflection” about how her harmful actions have impacted SGA and the UH student body
- An order to put on a public presentation Sept. 28 detailing “the knowledge she has gained about cultural issues facing our society.”
If Sethi refuses or fails any of the requirements, she will be kicked out of SGA entirely.

Im sure glad I quit the University of Houston
Pure crap. You can say anything you want to, as long as it is how they feel. Hypocrites
I would take my credits and go to a different school. What happened to FREEDOM OF SPEECH. FUCK BLM BECAUSE ALL LIVES MATTER. BLM is just another gang riseing
Take your credits and change schools. BLM is a bigoted hate group. We should respect “pigs in a blanket, fry em like bacon”? “Whites owe us reparations”? “Whites marching must go to the back, blacks to the front”?? You don’t get more racist than this group. Honey, you were right and don’t apologize or play their games.
All lives matter is diversity. Black lives matter is exclusion. She should stand her ground and refuse to comply with their demands. If they try to academically harm her for exercising her right to free speech, she should sue.
I would sue anyway. They already trampled on her constitutional rights. They do extend to the colleges no matter what they think. As long as they get some federal funding, they have to uphold the Constitution. These colleges need to be revamped from the inside out which means CLEAN HOUSE!
This is beyond ridiculous!!! A college education is not a mandatory requirement but is paid for by the student or earned by way of scholarships. They should hold no power over her, nor should they treat her like she’s their property to do as they say!!! I pray she hires an attorney!!! If she didn’t threaten anyone, didn’t use a racial slur, she did nothing to warrant action like that!!! College education these days is paramount to an indoctrination into the absurd!!!
Forget Black Lives Matter. To qualify for representation by BLM the life must be able to be used as the EXCUSE to Protest, Assault, Riot, Pillage, Plunder, Commit Arson and Loot. #SupportSethisDenounceHouston.
One word: Idiots.
WOW, just WOW! All LIVES to matter, it’s not the color of skin we’re all one human race get that in your head already! Screw TRUMPARD!
Libtards are leftarded loons.
