I am a representative of the school I attend. I'd argue that it's exactly the same and not different at all.

Not aware of the Georgia Tik Toks. There is a line where I would agree with you. Directly advocating for violence against people would certainly cross it for me.
Freedom of speech shouldn’t be silenced by government institutions whereas a private institution certainly can create consequences for that speech. When a government institution creates consequences for speech it effectively bans it. So it that case the speech needs to be far more egregious for the same consequence.
The question for you is the same though at what threshold on the spectrum of ignorance to racism to inciting hate driven violence do you expel someone.
