We speak today out of profound personal concern about a student at Marshall University. This person has been caught in possession and distribution of child pornography, revealing them to be a child predator. Unimaginable and absolutely disgusting, this behavior is unacceptable and jeopardizes the safety and innocence of the most vulnerable among us, children. According to FBI reports, child pornography is a rampant crime in our nation with about 300,000 individuals involved every year. This crime is not just an individual depravity; it contributes to a broader societal issue. Expelling this student from Marshall University would be a small but critical step towards justice and protection of our children from such heinous acts. As a university whose mission statement highlights the importance of integrity and safety alongside its commitment to personal and academic excellence, Marshall University has the moral duty to cut ties with any individual proven to engage in such egregious behavior. Stand with us in ensuring our universities are safe and just environments for all. Sign this petition to demand the expulsion of this child predator from Marshall University.
