Ole Miss student kicked out of fraternity for making racist gestures toward protester
SUMMARY: The Ole Miss Phi Delta Theta fraternity dismissed James “JP” Staples after he mimicked a primate at a Black student, Jaylin Smith, during a pro-Palestine protest – an act caught on video sparking outrage. The frat emphasized racist behavior clashes with its values. The NAACP's Ole Miss chapter has urged the expulsion of Staples along with Connor Moore, Jr., and Rouse Bouce for their conduct at the protest. The university, while not making any expulsions or arrests, is conducting an investigation into the incident. Chancellor Boyce noted this undermines efforts to distance from the university's racist history.
