On the other hand, if it's the memes of Trump showing his drawings/writing in the oval office, then it's absurd.

As shitty as it might be for this kid, he's not a citizen, so the standard response should probably err on the side of caution. Not letting a kid study abroad here is a shitty situation for them. Knowing about a potential threat and ignoring is is a worse situation, though.

Would like to know more information about the situation before I really settle on one side or the other, though.

Another consideration should be that the school had to have some kind of vetting process.  I know, I know, it was more or less "can he afford it" but apparently he/his family can.  I'd agree with you that if he was just coming here and didn't have a job, wasn't going to school, etc then we need to really check him out (that's what is done anyway) but if his story holds up it will appear to be more targeted at where he comes from than anything he did.
