College sophomore Jonathan Peraza leads chants outside the Emory Administration Building during a student protest following pro-Trump slogans that were written in chalk across campus the night before. / Julia Munslow, Executive Editor
UPDATE (3/22 at 9:49 p.m.) Scroll down for the original article:
The following day, University President James W. Wagner, as well as representatives from College Council (CC) and Student Government Association (SGA) sent emails to the Emory community to address student concerns and responses. In his University-wide email, Wagner wrote that he intends to implement “immediate refinements to certain policy and procedural deficiencies, regular and structured opportunities for difficult dialogues, a formal process to institutionalize identification, review and [the] addressing of social justice opportunities and issues and a commitment to an annual retreat to renew our efforts.” Wagner added in his email that the previous day’s chalkings represented “values regarding diversity and respect that clash with Emory’s own.”
In the joint email sent on behalf of CC and SGA, representatives wrote that they “remain unapologetically dedicated to inclusion, diversity and equity,” and that both institutions will stand in solidarity with any Emory students who have encountered a lack of safety and support. To provide Emory students an opportunity to discuss such support and inclusivity on Emory’s campus, SGA will hold office hours on Thursday, March 24 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. and CC will hold office hours on Thursday from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
According to the Dobbs University Center’s (DUC) Posting Policy, chalking must be reserved and approved through Emory’s campus reservation service, 25Live. The Posting Policy says that: chalk cannot be on columns or walls, it must be done on horizontal, ground surfaces and areas where rain can easily wash it away. Failure to comply with these policies results in a clean up fee. Chalking also may only remain for 48 hours. After this time, another group can chalk, if they reserve their chalking through 25Live.
The DUC’s Posting Policy also points out that the DUC is guided by the University’s policy on open expression, and any member of the Emory community who violates the open expression of others will be held in violation of said policy.
According to Emory University’s Open Expression Policy 8.14.5.8, “nonpersonal protests” such as chalking, should follow “all applicable flyer posting policies and banner reservation rules.” It also states that “no nonpersonal protests will be denied because of the content” of the display as long as they falls within the law, and that members of the community who “deface the open expression of others” are also violating this policy.
The article will be updated as information becomes available.
Students protested yesterday at the Emory Administration Building following a series of overnight, apparent pro-Donald Trump for president chalkings throughout campus.
Roughly 40 students gathered shortly after 4:30 p.m. in the outdoors space between the Administration Building and Goodrich C. White Hall; many students carried signs featuring slogans such as “Stop Trump” or “Stop Hate” and an antiphonal chant addressed to University administration, led by College sophomore Jonathan Peraza, resounded “You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!” throughout the Quad. Peraza opened the door to the Administration Building and students moved forward towards the door, shouting “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”

After approximately ten minutes outside from the start of the demonstration, the gathered students were ushered into the Quad-facing entrance to the Administration Building and quickly filled a staircase to continue their demonstration. Pausing in the staircase, a few students shared their initial, personal reactions to the chalkings.
“I’m supposed to feel comfortable and safe [here],” one student said. “But this man is being supported by students on our campus and our administration shows that they, by their silence, support it as well … I don’t deserve to feel afraid at my school,” she added.
A short time later, students moved into the Henry L. Bowden Board Room, surrounding the long table that dominates its center, the students themselves surrounded by portraits of Emory University’s former presidents.
“What are we feeling?” Peraza asked those assembled. Responses of “frustration” and “fear” came from around the room, but individual students soon began to offer more detailed, personal reactions to feelings of racial tension that Trump and his ideology bring to the fore.
“How can you not [disavow Trump] when Trump’s platform and his values undermine Emory’s values that I believe are diversity and inclusivity when they are obviously not [something that Trump supports]” one student said tearfully. “Banning Muslims? How is that something Emory supports?” asked yet another.
University President James W. Wagner, who had been standing just inside the threshold of the door, had been called into the board room by students and listened at the head of the table while they described how the appearance of the chalkings made them feel. He addressed several questions throughout the time in the board room, including “Why did the swastikas [on the AEPi house in Fall 2014] receive a quick response while these chalkings did not?” to which Wagner replied that they “represented an outside threat” and clarified that it was a second set of swastikas that received a swift response from the University. “What do we have to do for you to listen to us?” students asked Wagner directly, to which he asked, “What actions should I take?” One student asked if Emory would send out a University-wide email to “decry the support for this fascist, racist candidate” to which Wagner replied, “No, we will not.” One student clarified that “the University doesn’t have to say they don’t support Trump, but just to acknowledge that there are students on this campus who feel this way about what’s happening … to acknowledge all of us here.”

Other students asked for improving diversity in the “higher positions” of the University, including the Board of Trustees and the faculty in general who should not be simply “diversity sprinkles” to improve statistics, as one student described it.
Grievances were not restricted to shortcomings of the administration. “[Faculty] are supporting this rhetoric by not ending it,” said one student, who went on to say that “people of color are struggling academically because they are so focused on trying to have a safe community and focus on these issues [related to having safe spaces on campus].”
While Wagner initially stated that he would not be writing a University-wide email regarding Trump, after over an hour of discussion in the board room, he appeared to have decided to begin working on an email concerned with at least the chalkings, at which point he gently wrapped up the conversation so that he could begin drafting it.

Assistant Vice President for Community Suzanne Onorato, who was also present during the protest and suggested that she would look into hosting a forum for those involved, agreed with Wagner’s sentiments. “I think it’s wonderful that students are taking a stand for something that they’re passionate about, for something that’s so much about themselves — and we want to support that,” she said in an interview with the Wheel.
The chalkings that generated such controversy appeared overnight throughout Emory’s campus. College junior Harpreet Singh said that, initially, he did not find the chalkings significant. “I saw one big one, ‘Trump 2016,’ so I thought it was an isolated incident and I didn’t think much of it,” he said. “I thought, ‘Okay, it’s just a guy who wants to write whatever he wants to believe in for his political campaign.’ I was like, ‘Okay, I’m fine with that, to a certain extent.’”

Singh reported having seen multiple chalkings that read “Trump 2016” between Cox Hall Bridge and the Dobbs University Center (DUC). “What I also saw on the steps near Cox [Hall] Bridge was ‘Accept the Inevitable: Trump 2016,’” he said. “That was a bit alarming. What exactly is the inevitable? Why does it have to be accepted?”

The University will review footage “up by the hospital [from] security cameras” to identify those who made the chalkings, Wagner told the protesters. He also added that if they’re students, they will go through the conduct violation process, while if they are from outside of the University, trespassing charges will be pressed.
Organization and coordination of the protest appears to have fermented in individual student groups independently of one another. Singh, who participated in the protests, also had a part in their planning. While he said that each group or community held their own discussions on the chalkings over social media, he noted that “[he] also reached out to the Muslim community” and that several of these students attended the gathering.
Julia Munslow, Executive Editor
While the University has not released an official response as of press time, Donald Trump obviously remains a flashpoint for many students, but according to Singh there is comfort to be found for those who feel oppressed. “For the students, it’s reassuring to see how they are able to voice out their opinions and, although it might be safe or uncomfortable, we know that we have a community behind us, whether that be the Latin[x] community, the Muslim community or the black student community — there are pools of safety we can go to,” Singh said.

From 1939 to 1945, 18 year olds risked their lives to fight for the freedom of speech 18 year olds today want to destroy.
We have the freedom to say you’re not thinking of the people it affects. If your words and actions affect my ability to live, well it isn’t free speech. Read a book on it to actually learn more.
Supporting Donald Trump doesn’t affect you just like supporting the communist Bernie Sanders doesn’t affect me even though the communists killed my entire family.
Lol you don’t know me. How would you know anything about not being able to live?
I live on below minimum wage waiting on tables at a restaurant called Doc Chey while also having work study at Emory.
I work 50 hours per week just to pay my bills. Now what’s your excuse.
Still my life is better here in America than where I was born. At least I have a mattress to sleep on…
Jon, I’ve just read your older posts. It seems that we were born in the same country and are the same age. I may have known you in real life, but anyway, I must say that I cannot agree with you more on many of your views. I should also like to express my deep respect to you, as if I were in your shoes, I could do no better.
Unfortunately Emory is not a place for free speech now, nor are many campuses nationwide. Though I am not a fan of Trump, nor do I hate political correctness, it is stupid to stick to superficial political correctness and ignore deeper problems (i.e. the cultural values), which really makes the poor remain poor. Of course, many young liberals do not remain liberal after they leave the campus. Let’s wait and see. America is made great by hard work, then and now.
Good we know where you work. You represent the company poorly. I’ll be talking to your boss. Your mom says hi… Sorry she’s blowing my dog right now.
You must be black, or gay.
We know enough about you people to ridicule you for being whiny, immature, racist sock puppets. You’re hilarious. Get a job and grow up.
Sanders isn’t really a communist and would not support totalitarian policies. Sanders is just dumb in not seeing the whole picture. He mainly expressed interest in Cuba’s communism due to the social programs (which work better there than some developing countries). Let us not attempt to be sensationalist here. You sound like a Fox News pundit using such language.
I find it ironic you are lecturing me, a former citizen of a communist country on communism/socialism
Also, don’t lecture me on socialism or communism if you don’t know the difference.
Obviously, you don’t if you think Sanders is a communist. You’re just as bad as these ninnies running to mommy. You’re all deluded.
My parents also come from one of those “socialist republics” (i.e. communist countries). They laugh at these imbeciles. Trump 2016!
How does chalk affect your ability to live? Do you know they sell chalk at most stores? You could buy your own chalk and write “not Trump 2016”. That’d show those chalk bullies.
What a great idea, how about you go tell the world you’re most brilliant idea? Chalk beats chalk!
Your*
“how about you go tell the world ****you’re**** most brilliant idea?”
You’re a student at Emory?
How does “Trump 2016” “affect (your) ability to live”? It IS free speech, whether you’re too fragile, frightened and constitutionally ignorant to accept it or not.
Trump 2016 doesn’t affect your ability to live, if it does you’re an idiot and should move out of the US.
If some chalk on the sidewalk affects your ability to live, well, then, you are DOOMED.
Just hold your breath till your face turns blue. It will all be over soon.
Boot licker!
What? So admiration for a Generation that fought Hitler and Japanese Imperialism under Tojo makes someone a Boot Licker? Then call me one too. My Grandfather left a Seneca Indian Tribal Boarding School In 1937 at age 17 to Enlist in the US Navy and served as an aviation mechanic from the biplane era into the Jet era on board Carriers in the Pacific during WW2 and Korea. Retired as a Master Chief. So what have you done with your life other than hurl insults?
People that worship authority and try to get it to fight the battles they should fight themselves are the Boot Lickers.
More likely the whiny protesting students are the Boot Lickers.
…an antiphonal chant addressed to University administration, led by College sophomore Jonathan Peraza, resounded “You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!”
Exhibit A: Why I hate Millennials. I stopped my alumni donations after 25 years of continuous support of the university. Enjoy your pain, snowflake.
Man if we have hateful alumni like you Scoots McKenzie, I’m so proud we
aren’t the school you like anymore. Who needs you? At least we’re
fighting for our safety. What did you do for Emory other than line it’s
pockets with hate?
Explain to me why the words “Donald Trump” is hate speech?
And while you are at that, name 3 countries in East Asia.
Random question? Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines?
I said East Asia, not Southeast Asia.
I feel offended by your lack of cultural understanding of the different Asian countries.
Emory Student for Justice’s comment is racist and my safe space has been violated.
^^ sorry, I’ll educate myself more, how about you do the same?
You are still unable to answer my question. You are still unable to name 3 East Asian countries.
Your lack of sympathy for East Asians is racist and my safe space has been violated. President Obama needs to come out and give a speech on how Emory Student for Justice has offended me.
Wow, just wow! If you are a sign of our future, we are doomed. Every comment you make just makes you sound more and more stupid, and yet, because you think your OPINION of Trump trumps everyone else’s opinion, you are completely blind to your own stupidity. smh
Explain to me how a man who spits hate isn’t racist? And while you’re at it, why not name three Central American nations?
Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua.
How does Trump spit hate?
Thank you, Karen. For we know, if it were Hillary, there’d be he!! to pay for responding that way!
Your hatred of Trump is unhinged. I hope the secret service is investigating. We allow political parties in this country. We allow freedom of speech.
The irony in your comment escapes you. Heil Trump!
Waaaaaaaah! Heil leftists! (You do know that Hitler was a leftist, don’t you?)
http://louderwithcrowder.com/myth-busted-actually-yes-hitler-was-a-socialist-liberal/
Waaaaaaaah! Heil leftists! (You do know that Hit_ler was a leftist, don’t you?)
We are socialists, we are enemies of today’s capitalistic economic system for the exploitation of the economically weak, with its unfair salaries, with its unseemly evaluation of a human being according to wealth and property instead of responsibility and performance, and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.” A.Hitler, German Workers’ National Socialist Party Convention, May 1st 1927
Hitler and the Nahzis (sic) played on the widespread opposition, often describing their ideas as ‘anti-capitalist’. The name Nahzi itself is an abbreviation of National Socialist.
they’ve been told to think that way by their indoctrinators
Rich. Thx for an honest retort. I agree.
Why does chalk scare you?
Why does justice scare you?
Justice doesn’t scare anyone.
Stupidity does.
Damn you must be terrified of yourself
Does ad hominem make you feel safe and proud?
She hasn’t the intellect to respond otherwise. She confuses feelings with critical thinking. Emory failed her miserably, isn’t that obvious by now????
What injustice is being perpetrated by chalk drawings of a Presidential candidate who has yet to actually say anything that could be considered racist? Muslim is not a race. He called for a ban on travel from countries known to house Muslim extremists. His son in law is Jewish. His media relations rep is a black woman. What world is this?
@arthurramsey:disqus : That is a slippery slope (let’s also be honest, Muslim is often code for those from certain nations who look a certain way. Many Trump supporters for example would assume that an Indian Hindu is Muslim simply because of how they look. GOP candidates are often good at using code) and also, regardless of his media rep….you assume that Trump actually directly interacts with such arms of his campaign.
Trump and/or supporters would likely claim that all such nations harbor terrorists and simply exclude anyone from such nations from coming whether their government harbors or sponsors extremist or not (some of these places do not even have stable government apparatuses and instead bad actor NGOs host or sponsor terrorists. I am willing to bet that even immigrants from countries without state-sponsored terror would be hindered greatly). What is needed is a strong vetting/screening process for those coming from ANY country (as many radicals also were born in and live in developed countries. Should go both ways as well. Some of America’s crazy evangelicals should not be able to enter another country especially as missionaries). Also, Trump wasn’t so far off from almost entertaining camps in an interview. His ideas/things he claims are ideas are just wack. He pretty much makes stuff up as he goes along and will say anything to activate the base be it subtly racist or directly racist. The guy flat out said with regard to Mexico: “They are sending their______” you know the rest. The “he has a black friend” thing hardly ever works and certainly will not work here. You can be racist or prejudiced against other groups that perhaps you are not used to interacting with (Black, White, and certain Asian ethnicities are normalized in the American context but there are “newcomers” that have turned into “threats” and Trump is exploiting that perception by others).
You make alot of assumptions. Isn’t your entire argument a slippery slope based on those assumptions?
I’m a Trump supporter and I know that Indonesia (a country in Southeast Asia) has more Muslims than the entire Middle East. I also know the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim.
No, I don’t make a lot of assumptions in this case. You are but one data point. Many polls and experience (as in reports from news media outlets after say, terrorist attacks or high terror alerts) tell us that such language to most whites (a HUGE amount of Trump’s support, probably most of it) and even others (perhaps non-Asian if you want to get specific) who would vote for him does indeed trigger certain images. There have been several instances of non-Muslim “brown” folks (as in not Hispanic or Latino) who have been attacked even physically by whites in this country. To deny that “Muslim” does not conjure a certain image in America and to claim that mentions of the religion conjure images based on “facts” for most just simply is silly and a bit overly optimistic and you know it(you still haven’t learned how to argue in a way that makes sense and assume that other folks who engage you don’t know anything about the U.S’s media landscape or political climate so you continue to throw what you think are curveballs just for the sake of doing so. As normal, I choose to bite). Using yourself as a datapoint is not ample evidence to refute the idea that Trump supporters or even Americans as a whole have enough geographic literacy (it has been historically poor) to imagine say, a black person (as many Africans are Muslim for obvious historical reasons) or an Indonesian as a Muslim. There is ample evidence whether based on polls anecdotal that demonstrates our lack of nuance in this area. Just because you know these things does not mean most of his supporters who are American do. Also, This slippery slope seems awful reminiscent of this period in the 1900s in America (low and mid. I remember the Chinese Exclusion Act and camps for the Japanese). My idea of slipper slope is based on historical precedent and the language I see being used in these campaigns and actually IS in context unlike what you claimed about Sanders. As a supporter, you should beware of this much like a Clinton supporter expecting great improvements for the middle-class may want to adjust their expectations.
That was a straight up incoherent unsupported rant.
I know that the evangelicals are well known for their terrorism overseas. A scourge on the planet. Seriously?
No one is trying to keep possibly extremist Muslims out to keep them from sharing about their religion; barely 100 miles away from me an extremist shot up two military facilities as an act of terrorism. Brussels today. NYC in 2001. This isn’t rocket science.
And not but a few days after Trump talked about the illegal immigrants from Mexico, a woman in San Franciso was murdered by an illegal immigrant. In trying to find the specifics on that story, I came across the story of Marilyn Pharis who was raped and beaten and died 8 days later from her injuries at the hands of an illegal immigrant. Illegal immigrants are operating a large human trafficking organization that has been discovered even in the reaches of rural Tennessee. Not all illegal immigrants are bad, but in allowing so many such leeway, we leave the door open for these evil people as well.
I’m actually not a Trump supporter, but I find the pure hysterics and vitriol coming from some people over him to be completely ridiculous. When the man’s name being written on a wall causes someone to be unsafe (in Atlanta…not exactly the safest city) it’s beyond ridiculous. I hope these students don’t end up in a hotel checking the mattresses. Some of those are the Serta Trump line. They’d lose their minds.
Glad you stood up to this vapid “intellectual “. I agree with you.
“Many Trump supporters for example would assume that an Indian Hindu is Muslim simply because of how they look” you are projecting based on supposition…you obviously don’t know many trump supporters.
i’m for a moratorium on all immigration to help the legal immigrants who have come here assimilate and deport the illegal ones. then let immigration resume.
Your intellectual ramblings don’t impress me.
Yes, because the goal was primarily to impress you, a person I don’t know. The goal is say something evidence based or more nuanced than others in this comment section which is mainly a sea of emotional and buzzword based BS right now. It may not have impressed you, but apparently it affected you somehow for you to respond to it as opposed to the other stuff on here.
“The goal is say something evidence based…”
Then why didn’t you include evidence, and instead just speak in generalizations about groups you don’t like?
a fantasy bubble that the exist in as long as their parents keep funneling money to them…
It’s the world where they can’t win with their arguments so they have to resort to bleating RAAAAAAAACIST!
Justice? What crime was committed?
Apparently you don’t promote justice because your fascist behavior and comments are shutting down other’s first amendment rights.
Justice? A crime was committed? Someone was wronged? Who was hurt? Oh it was feelings? Well no one cares. Grow up.
#ImAfraidOfChalk
and then it rained
Most Trump supporters will now say they don’t feel safe with your group protesting. Will you give them a safe space?
The idea of these realty-denying, emotionally stunted, immature children eventually ending up with any sort of political power triggers me and makes me feel horribly unsafe. It’ll be a macroaggression towards me if any of them ever seek office, and so I require them to pay me reparations for my pain and mental distress.
The irony is, Trump supporters have real cause to feel unsafe because “protesters” (read: instigators) who have come to Trump rallies started fights, rushed the stage, threatened, bullied, and shouted down any dissent. It is they who by action have demonstrated to be the actual threats. I have yet to see any Trump supporter be a threat.
You’re a moron. No doubt about it you people are mentally ill.
Does ad hominem make you feel safe and proud? Here’s one for you: You must have been raised by two lesbians. You have no testicles.
Your lesbian mom should disown you.
Your lesbian mom should stop trying to molest your sister.
When you throw a shoe into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps is the one that got hit.
Then put on your muzzle and shut up.
I can’t because you are wearing it, you gimp.
I have not seen or heard that insult in a while now.
time to put your big girl pants on Emory Student for Justice. Read the comments here, ya’ll are sad and pathetic and you wont make it in the real world b/c words hurt you and the real world doesn’t give you safe spaces. Enjoy your retardedness while you can, the real world won’t cater to your overly sensitive and miniscule brain
Proud to be in a school full of whiny pu$$ie$.
You have chalk phobia? Hundreds of thousands of Georgia residents voted for Trump. Do you prefer the Castro dictatorship?
It’s funny, because that isn’t what they were chanting. They were chanting “No justice, no peace.” sounds like a threat to me.
It’s amazing how much these “activists” resemble terrorists in word and deed. Then again, Mao’s mass-murdering Red Guard started off as a bunch of whiney campus leftists. A perfect example of what happens when SJWs get power, and why they must be prevented from gaining any.
Imagine the butt-hurt on the left when Trump actually becomes president!
I am not much of a Trump fan, but it would be worth it just to see the reactions.
They just parrot buzzwords they read on twitter from their BLM ringleaders. All of them are future low-status gov. employees. The Emory degree is wasted on them.
Mr. McKenzie, did you contact the alumni giving office (and cc: the administration too) and tell them exactly why you have stopped donating? Otherwise, I don’t think that colleges get the message, they just assume that you have lost interest or can’t afford it. Alums who are sick and tired of these shenanigans and really want their voices to be heard need to directly tell the alumni office and the administration that donations will cease as long as these sort of crybully antics are not just tolerated but endorsed. Otherwise it just goes on and on.
I did. I just returned the 25 year pin for consecutive years of donating.
That’s excellent. I hope others who stop donating also make their reasons known. I would like to think that you will hear back from them with some sort of explanation of why they allow these senseless distractions from the educational mission, but experience tells me that you will not.
HAHA. Toughen up kids.
President Wagner’s lack of sympathy for students of color further exhibits his continued neglect of already marginalized Emory students. As an alum, his inaction is embarrassing and wholly disappointing. I can only hope that his successor is less concerned with our endowment and more concerned with the ENTIRE Emory community’s well-being and safety.
I can’t see how the students’ speech, totally lacking reasoning and logic, could do any good to Emory’s well-being and safety. Even not voting Sanders seems politically incorrect on campus.
You have to remind yourself they are merely children. The failure of University leadership and the education process in general facilitates this immature behavior.
why do they need to be taught these skills? if they are smart enough to get into college, they should know this already. but then, we are talking about EMORY. ha. #ChalkEmory2016
He sent out an email Cara, and promised to prosecute the perps. That’s more than he needed to do.
Then he is as stupid as Cara!
I support Trump. Did I just trigger you? Oh no!!!
You suck off Trump? Now that is true support.
Those students are part of groups and cultures that are violent. They’re not marginalized. They have more rights than Whites after all they control the media. They’re just whiney, narcissistic morons who are most likely collecting ‘gibs me dats’.
That’s really appalling, that an Emory alumna would support calls for censorship and disciplining people for expressing their opinions. I’m ashamed to send my daughter to a college that produces people like you, although I’m happy to say that she doesn’t share your hatred and disdain for free expression.
Your daughter is really your son? Fascinating. How is the inbred life?
Basically what you’re saying is that if the School President doesn’t remove those responsible for writing “Trump 2016” in chalk that he’s neglecting you? What a load of crap. It’s time for people like you to GROW UP! GET A DOG!!!!!!!
Sounds like Students for Justice are making unhinged threats and taking away the safe space other students need and want to study and prosper.
So Emory has bred stupidity for how long?
what safety concerns do you have over the words “Trump 2016”? Maybe I’m not being enough of a liberal loony toon but its just a slogan and chalk, I don’t see how its a safety hazard, its just words.
Marginalized by chalk. You make a mockery of real pain.
Why do ‘students of color’ need sympathy? For what? What harm has been done to them? Don’t be concerned with endowment sugar plum. Maybe Pres Wagner has REAL issues to deal with. Grab an eraser and get to work if you are #AfraidOfChalk
Hey Cara, you’re not too bright are you? Cuba sounds like the place for you where only right thinking is allowed and wrong thinking is punished.
These students are over 18, correct? how can they be neglected? you want to see real neglect? Look at the children, a majority of color, who have been abandoned into the foster care system. That is neglect. What those students are feeling is anti-democracy feelings. They wish for totalitarianism, but they want to pick the dictator.
Don’t misuse the word neglect. It is shameful and disrespectful to those, especially, children who really have experienced neglect.
For the sake of my own faith in humanity, I am choosing to assume you are just trolling and not really this stupid.
That had to be sarcasm, it was too dumb otherwise.
Emory Student for Justice: I don’t believe you understand the whole concept of free speech. But humor me, how does “Trump 2016” affect your ability to live? Because it doesn’t agree with your personal beliefs? You do realize that by asking them to restrict the people who write “Trump 2016” you’re opening up your own thoughts and beliefs to being restricted? How about if Emory states that no student can chalk anything, can’t even draw a four square court on the ground, I thought we were in the world of trying to grant more freedoms, not to take rights away from others, even if you don’t agree with them.
Emory is a private college, if you don’t like things there, leave. The college doesn’t owe you anything, and it’s clear that you’re not taking advantage of the education they offer, as you’d rather protest about others thoughts then to form thoughts of your own.
I would imagine her major is outside STEM. Wanna make a side bet?
Engineering and pre-med kids are never at these “protests”. Weird.
Couldn’t agree more wholeheartedly.
and scheme some more…engineering students don’t have time for such insignificant garbage.
I’m enrolled in a general science degree. Since my two majors are computer science and mechanical engineering. Just calculus alone takes up most of my day. Like i said before dono how these kids get time.
My major is STEM. And yes, plenty of intelligent, talented people at Emory are also active at protests. If you knew anything about Emory at all.
Then stop faking like you’re afraid of everything a go study – that’s what you do in college. Crying doesn’t get you anywhere
Well see the issue is crying nowadays does get somewhere. An audience with the President who then placates the protesters instead of providing guidance and displaying leadership.
Intelligent people don’t cry over the advocating of a Presidential candidate.
Children do.
Well, when Obama was elected people were crying “anti-christ” and calling him a Kenyan muslim communist so it goes both ways.
I do not believe the Emory College Republicans were storming the President’s office over Obama’s election as President. Do not try and hand waive to condone or rationalize negative behavior. This is nonsense and therefore treat unacceptable behavior as such. If the Young Republicans would have done so I would’ve advised the same sort of action in even greater terms.
That is the point, it is irrational on either side, but I have yet to see anybody condemn that particular talk. This issue extends further than a university protest.
Haha I remember the night of the Obama election. There were probably ten college republicans watching, me included.
I’m surprised there’s a whole ten conservatives on campus at all. You should’ve been rounded up long ago. You could probably start a diary before they send you off to tolerance camp.
wait… they allow conservative republicans at emory?
lol –
Closeted Republican graduate – Emory College, class of 82
Intelligent people don’t start babbling about something totally unrelated to cover for their own fail in life.
Emory student, are you?
No, animals do.
Remember, it was Hillary Clinton who first questioned his “natural born” citizenship.
Its still true lol
all i know is you guys are_morons!!
Well, if I get a resume from anyone of them, its going in the trash.
I’m faculty at Emory pal in the sciences and this behavior along with the administration’s reaction bothers me greatly. I did three things while in college….worked, studied and when that was done I partied like a rock star.
I’m primary concerned that the named students in the Wheel are going to be targeted. It was a small minority of students that actually reacted to the chalk, and others were protesting about completely different problems on campus. I think the reaction to some little chalk writing is silly, but that doesn’t excuse others from completely dismissing the rest of the university who is embarrassed. At the moment, the Wheel (and Emory’s) Facebook pages are being spammed with posts about the damn chalk.
What do you mean, I am embarrassed and every time I now mention that I am faculty at Emory I will be laughed at and associated with immaturity. Do you realize how many Facebook potshots I am already taking from friends and colleagues over this???? Dozens. Decisions have consequences and so does crying wolf over chalk drawings. Therefore, the administration should have told these students to return to their studies and further disturbance would lead to disciplinary action. End of story. Emory supports the free exchange of ideas and facilitates an environment of diversity. Period. This is all a scam by students to either gain leverage with the administration as seen at U Missouri, Yale, Harvard, etc or simple effort aversion in order to get out of work assignments. Nothing more. No one with a lick of sense should be incensed to protest over chalk drawings of a leading candidate. There is a leadership void and an environmental issue with the lack of acceptance at Universities in the country. This episode only brings that fact closer to our environment. Personally, I reach out to those with differing views than my own, I am conservative to the core, because those are folks that challenge my thinking and provide me the greatest opportunity at learning. My worldview is not so fragile to be shaken by opposing arguments. This behavior is that of fragility and mental and emotional immaturity.
I understand and I agree with you. I think this has been blown way out of proportion.
I think there should definitely be a discussion about this, but now the university has a major PR catastrophe to take care of. Nobody is stifling free speech at Emory, at all. The problem is–People literally complained about it because they thought they were being targeted, and the Wheel took that story and ran with it. Now the rest of the student body is pissed and fighting about it.
I’m very disappointed that a student paper of all things would jump on a typical campus protest and make it into controversy when a vast majority of students disagree.
As they should be as it lowers the value of their education. Why do not the students attempt to police this themselves. Why was no one willing to tell them to think this through or advise them to be more accepting??? There was no threat to them. Young people have lost their ability to provide independent thought. It’s all groupthink, I must fit in or else I’ll be a target. Where is the leadership among the student body and focus on personal development??? You’re in college to learn and prepare for the workforce, not to be coddled and therefore incapable of productivity in the real world. Be honest or be ridiculed. If Emory does nothing to condemn this type of fascist, un-American, non-civilized behavior then the ridicule is deserved. Is it freedom of speech or not? There is no gray area. This behavior deserves robust ridicule. Decisions have consequences and better learned now than later.
Well for one, Emory gives a lot of funding to student groups and they use it however they see fit. Everyone has a right to protest in my opinion, but this is the Wheel’s fault for publicizing it in the first place as if it’s a university-wide controversy. And thus, you see the comments here disparaging the university and everyone in it.
How could they not address it when a University wide email was sent out by the President? I went looking for articles only after receiving the email. The failure was to acknowledge the legitimacy of the protesters rather than send them back to their studies. Leadership is required here as young folks need it. Perhaps they are confused or full of emotion? Even a greater need for clear leadership that provides what is and is not acceptable. Otherwise these types of incidents will only increase in frequency.
They are student reporters after all, people make mistakes.They’re receiving plenty of backlash from other students, but any complaint they’ve received about legitimizing the protests has been met with “freedom of the press” references. Wagner should have been fired years ago.

Absolutely. Same with Mizzou. President at Mizzou should have canceled the remaining football schedule and threatened to not allow makeup for school work. Done. There is a leadership void. Perhaps the Presidents have their hand tied, who knows? It’s all about profits anyhow. They do not want to rock the boat too much or potentially lose money. These student protesters are placing the administration in a no win situation.
Exactly. I think it can be handled correctly but if they’ve messed up once before, forget about it.
Though the immaturity of these children attending Emory is laughable, I place more blame on the University President. This could have been a helpful teaching moment and a way to squash this story quickly, with a stern look and some choice language. I’m thinking like, “Grow the f#*k up and go study for your finals!!
Yeah right, try being a conservative professor. I am ridiculed all the time and unable in any way to voice my opinions except to close colleagues that share my views behind closed doors. I would’ve liked to have been able to reach out to the administration concerning this, but I may be fired or it may affect my promotion potential. Who knows??? Being a conservative in academia is not easy at all and no, there is no freedom to express my “minority” views. Universities are more interested in profit rather than preparing capable young men and women for the workforce. Coddling them is only lowering their potential successes.
I feel for you. I spent 11 years at state universities, and I know there is no free speech there for conservatives. Now I am at a private university with a very conservative profile. Our administration would tell these “safe space” babies to suck it up or go home. I can be as conservative as I want, in and out of the classroom, and nobody bats an eyelash. I feel very fortunate.
I am glad you took action and changed where you go to school. You spoke by no giving your old school your money.
I use to be a teacher. I retired because I was tired of being forced to teach socialist propaganda over reading, writing, math, geography, and honest history. People complain about our educational system, but they haven’t realized why it has declined. Most of these young kids don’t even know what socialism, capitalism, and communism are. They just hear free handout from socialists and capitalism is evil. Every last one of us participates in capitalism.
Thank you for continuing to teach regardless of those who are literally racist against you.. I hear many parents complain about their kids unable to voice their thoughts because they are afraid to fail the class. That is sad. Maybe these socialist professors might learn something.
I speak my mind. I stood up to the teamsters at work. And I engaged in conversations with liberals. We can’t fix problems by shutting people off.
Conservative students, have courage. Speak out regardless of your future grade. There are things that are more important.
I chose not to pursue a career in academics after I earned my Ph.D. a good many years ago … primarily because I did not want to play the games that faculty have to play to get along and to be promoted. Conforming to absurd political standards would not likely have been a big factor in my field (geology), but all of the other nonsense would have been painful to tolerate. I wish you well. Just remember that you are probably on double-secret probation because of your conservative leanings.
I am old enough to remember a Christian America that was conservative. We were proud to be Americans. Everyone had the same moral values and treated people with respect. I am from the west, so racism isn’t and wasn’t the issue it is in the south or back east. One of my kids now lives back east and is astounded at the attitude she receives. My daughter is not use to such prejudges; it surprised her. She is nice to everyone no matter what. That is the way she was raised and how it is in the west or mid-west. Even when a black person automatically treats her as a racist because she is white, she still treats them with friendly respect. Then the surprise is on them and barriers are taken down. We follow the golden rule.
Profit is easy when one is guaranteed an income from federal grants , scholarships, and loans. When i first sought out a student loan as a foreigner. My first guess was to ask my bank for a student loan, only to find out that in the US this is not an option errr.
“Nobody is stifling free speech at Emory, at all. ”
I BEG YOUR PARDON???
“The University will review footage “up
by the hospital [from] security cameras” to identify those who made the
chalkings, Wagner told the protesters.”
How is that not a threat to free speech???
Agreed. As an alumni I don’t want my schools name to be shamed, but these kids never grew up and they’re a representative of Emory whether we like it or not
” I think the reaction to some little chalk writing is silly, but that
doesn’t excuse others from completely dismissing the rest of the
university who are embarrassed.”
I think that’s because the impression given is that the rest of the university isn’t speaking up against the coddling of the individuals who are “frightened” of chalk supporting Trump.
If that was my college, and I were still attending it, I would make it clear that my college shouldn’t be “investigating” who wrote chalk markings supporting a candidate.
The Wheel’s problem, finding a valid equation that empowers SJW activism by ignoring/discounting the downsides of SJW activism. GIGO.
and that’s the way we all did it. Did you go there? and if so, was that during the days of Wonderful Wednesday? And Dooley’s Den?
I’m a full time dual degree student. I have no idea how people have time for this nonsense.

Hey be nice an ethnic and gender studies degree will get you the coveted drive up window spot at McDonalds. Not too shabby!
These cry-bullies just seriously damaged the Emory brand.Their disgusting antics here have reached national attention. I think many HR hiring staff will now toss Emory graduate’s job applications directly into the trash.
The first question I would ask any new prospective employee would be “so while in college were you involved in any social activism?” If the answer is yes then that would mean they are going to be nothing but trouble and then show them the door!
Yep. I always test the young ones. No activists, liberals, women with hyphenated names…. you get the picture.
It’s STEM, but thank you!
I would bet against Julia can do long division.
No doubt about it.
Emory’s President, Jim Wagner, should be ashamed of himself for letting the Crybullies believe that they have a legitimate point. But, hey, I’ll let you judge for yourself. Here’s Wagner’s statement on the allegedly evil Trump chalkings:
Dear Emory Community,
Yesterday I received a visit from 40 to 50 student protesters upset by the unexpected chalkings on campus sidewalks and some buildings yesterday morning, in this case referencing Donald Trump. The students shared with me their concern that these messages were meant to intimidate rather than merely to advocate for a particular candidate, having appeared outside of the context of a Georgia election or campus campaign activity. During our conversation, they voiced their genuine concern and pain in the face of this perceived intimidation.
After meeting with our students, I cannot dismiss their expression of feelings and concern as motivated only by political preference or over-sensitivity. Instead, the students with whom I spoke heard a message, not about political process or candidate choice, but instead about values regarding diversity and respect that clash with Emory’s own.
As an academic community, we must value and encourage the expression of ideas, vigorous debate, speech, dissent, and protest. At the same time, our commitment to respect, civility, and inclusion calls us to provide a safe environment that inspires and supports courageous inquiry. It is important that we recognize, listen to, and honor the concerns of these students, as well as faculty and staff who may feel similarly.
On the heels of work begun by students last fall and advanced last month through the Racial Justice Retreat and subsequent working groups, Emory is taking a number of significant steps:
Immediate refinements to certain policy and procedural deficiencies (for example, our bias incident reporting and response process)
Regular and structured opportunities for difficult dialogues (like the Transforming Community Project of several years ago)
A formal process to institutionalize identification, review, and addressing of social justice opportunities and issues; and
Commitment to an annual retreat to renew our efforts.
To keep moving forward, we must continue to engage in rich and meaningful dialogue around critical issues facing our nation and our society. I learn from every conversation like the one that took place yesterday and know that further conversations are necessary. More than that, such discussions should lead to action that continues to foster a more just and inclusive Emory.
Sincerely,
Jim Wagner
“Racial Justice Retreat” “bias incident reporting” “Transforming Community Project” “institutionalize identification, review, and addressing of social justice opportunities and issues” “just and inclusive”.
This is an embarrassment.
Sounds like an excuse for a paid vacation to an exclusive resort.
That’s what I was thinking. “Racial Justice Retreat”, conveniently located in either someplace warm or near the slopes. Why were we here again? Oh yeah.. that “racial justice thingy”.
Orwell is rolling over in his grave, and I’m stopping all donations to Emory Alum dept until they make it clear academic freedom, political freedom, and freedom of choice matter more than snowflakes.
If they were offended at “Trump 2016”, imagine how awful they’ll feel this morning when they see basically 90% of the country making fun of them for over-reacting?
Seriously… you are in college. If you feel that bad about people challenging your beliefs while in college, you will never make it out into the real world. You took a few figurative steps out of your parents bedroom and figured out that not everyone agrees with you?
Get off of Facebook where you only allow your friends to post, and talk to real people who might disagree with you. Trust me; not everyone who disagrees with you is out to kill you.
Someone is afraid for their safety because there are Trump supporters on campus?
Some people have never known true danger and Lord help us if they ever encounter it.
What a bunch of sissies! Grow a pair you bunch of Nancy’s!
Millenial cucks
You’re in pain because people on campus are expressing support for a candidate you disagree with? And their support causes you fear and pain? Do you realize how embarrassing that is?
These clowns are never going to make it in the real world.
Look at them. What a bunch of sniveling little brats. People of color don’t feel safe because of Donald Trump? I am freaking half-Japanese. Grow up!
They don’t have safe spaces in their neighborhoods because of their criminal behavior. Those neighborhoods are violent.
Maybe people of color need to admit that the dont feel safe in their neighborhoods because of people of color?
Perfectly said.
That would be the 30318 zip code over West of GA Tech.
How many students over there have been robbed at gunpoint this year?
Unbelievable…ladies and gentlemen…behold the future..lol
These students are truly an embarrassment to Emory. There was a time when college campuses welcome free speech.
I am embarrassed to be associated with this generation of babied imbeciles.
I get the feeling that the support being expressed could potentially ironic or being sarcastic. There was someone last semester who did this in the library……also, even if Trump is a horrendous prospect, people (as they already have) ARE allowed to express their support. You should not be allowed to suppress such expressions. You may speak of or chalk in opposing viewpoints but do not complain to the administration because the speech was allowed. I pretty much hate Trumps politics and viewpoints, but am not here to suppress expressions of support for a presidential candidate simply because I find their ideas disagreeable. Nor will I be up in arms about this sort of incident (By the way, while many supporters of Trump are riled up racists, some actually are attracted to the wealth and celebrity aspect unfortunately and think it translates into running a country well….his support is a bit more complex so keep that in mind when you suppress expressions of support. Last I remember, Hillary isn’t particularly the best when it comes to issues of race or social justice, yet no one would be up in arms over her supporters. Back in the 50s and 60s, expressions support for someone Bernie Sanders would have been suppressed or even prosecuted due to the anti-Communist and socialist fervor at the time. I am uncomfortable with all of these scenarios). If you want to protest Trump for real, attend one of his actual rallies, or have an anti-Trump protest. Don’t tell anyone to swiftly act by suppressing such expressions. Soon we’ll migrate toward thought crimes.
We’re already there. Did not President Wagner state he would submit students to the conduct violation process and prosecute non-students for trespassing? I wonder what would happen if white students complained about a BLM chalking??? I mean they only advocate murdering police officers and ask whites to commit suicide due to white privilege. I would hope President Wagner would tell any such complaining students to take a hike. Stop fostering these hyper-sensitive behaviors as they are illegitimate.
Did the anti-democracy student protestors have a permit to protest? Aren’t they eligible for conduct violations? Political intimidation because of chalk by brats.
Amen brother
well you know what they say, “if you’re not a conservative by the time you are 30, chances are you’re an idiot”
Why is that?
Oh good. Captain America was there.
You at Emory should be absolutely ashamed.
Trust me, we are. We just cannot do anything about it in this toxic environment with the thought police everywhere. President Wagner’s hands are tied. CNN is just miles away. Does he want a U of Missouri incident affecting the education of motivated, disciplined students? No. So he attempts to address these students irrational claims. I do not envy his position, although I wish he would provide some tough love.
Your president is a weak man who gave into extortion by anti-democracy protestors.
Our president is now irrelevant and is on his way out anyway (the search committee for a replacement is in session). He can probably give 2 craps and is likely trying to leave on a good note by appeasing students in such a fashion…something he doesn’t have the best reputation for doing (the 3/5 slip and departmental closures come to mind. Mind you, at a place like Harvard, Wagner would have been pressured to pack his stuff….remember the Larry Summers incident?). One could argue that Wagner never really had but so much power to begin with (as other University presidents don’t). University administrative decisions appear to be a conglomerate of crap going on.
Uhmmm..Wagner is leaving anyway and the Missouri incident was actually much more serious IMO. The racial climate at Missouri is actually kind of toxic (as proven by the fallout of that incident). This case at Emory is just a matter of folks being “soft” if you ask me. I am for social justice and complaints and protests when it is actually deserved, but I am not going to lie (even as a URM) and say I feel unsafe by a person or persons claiming to support Donald Trump (If anything, I feel a little sorry for many of them as they are kind of being easily deceived into doing so. I am fairly liberal but do not ever endorse any democratic candidates without a lack of cynicism). I personally don’t know what suppressing them in such a way (by claiming it = swastika) achieves at all. I personally don’t get comfort in knowing that there could be lots of people with really bad ideas hiding in plain sight. Pretending that these folks do not exist gives no comfort. If someone has bad and perhaps even dangerous ideas, I would actually like to know who they are, how many they are, in hopes that such folks can be educated (on why the evidence, if any, behind their ideas is false) as opposed to shouted down or forced into an angry hiding. Emory is an educational institution. Supposedly it educates (though whether students want an actual education is a question in and of itself. As folks say: “Education is one thing people are willing to pay for and not get” and should do so. Let’s get the good and bad ideas out there on the table for people to actually discuss instead pretending that bad ideas that aren’t ours (yes, despite some liberals claiming to be for social justice, our logic and ideology is perhaps good in principle but far from impossible. Suppression of not really even hate speech and social justice have hardly no connection to me. Expensive private schools like this already specialize in coddling us academically and in terms of quality of life with fancy amenities and the like. Now we are to be coddled from ideas or opinions we oppose….awesome(sarcasm)! All for the sake of making the place less like a school and more like a “home” as the annoying girl at Yale suggested) do not exist and seeking the help of the administration to provide a faux “safe”environment.
No, he means you should be ashamed by the horrific trauma caused to your poor innocent students by this evil and soul-destroying chalking incident.
That’s true. Given the demographics of Atlanta, it’s not such a stretch that the BLM hooligans would find their way to campus.
You should tell your special little snowflakes to quit being whiny lil girls, to be honest, I’d be ashamed if I was part of the faculty and this is the type of person the school is churning out. You won’t hear this kind of story about the Young Republicans on campus, or any campus for that matter, they’re not stupid enough to get scared over non-threatening words written in chalk. Makes me wonder how in the world these prescious lil flowers that are so easily offended will make it in the real world. I would love to be there the first time they get yelled at by their boss.
It’s not about being scared. These students want to be provided with special treatment and merely use these types of incidents to further their leverage with the administration. I mean who is scared of chalk writings that state Trump 2016. Completely and utterly irrational. They want to suppress free speech so that their motives cannot be questioned.
I’m sure the Young Republicans have been run off campus as making the University unsafe.
No, they’re there.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, – Emory Student Body….
Poo-poo, goo-goo, ga-ga. — Emory student body followup
Time to raise the voting age, these kids these days don’t even get a job and get in the real world until they are 25, and yet they think they are adults.
Raise the voting age, exemptions to people who actually work for a living or serve in the military, they can vote earlier.
What a collection of faggots.
Alternative headlines: overfed Emory students hate democracy and want to force their candidate on everyone else.
There is only one way to deal with this: we all need a safe place from Emory graduates who cannot handle diversity of thought.
Entitled snowflakes. What will they do when the enter the real word and not a college campus.
GOOOOOOO TRUMP!!!!!
Get on the train PANSIES – We’re making America fu^$&ing great again.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsNXmQQSSp0
aww… those poor little special snowflakes.
Bunch of brainwashed sheep.
Wow. Those signs would get an F. Are there any art classes at Emory?
They ran out of crayons and glitter in their safe space. Lol
Do any of these idiots realise no one without a vested interest gives a damn about their feelings?
Probably not.
Rational thought isn’t something they have any acquaintance with.
This story is hilarious! These kids are in for a rude awakening. I wish I could see their faces when the alarm goes off. Trump 2016 by the way!!!
No need to worry about being replaced at your job by up and coming young people if this lot is typical. Imagine how hard it must be for the dean to keep a straight face when a student whines they were traumatized by a “Trump 2016” sticker
40 students on a campus of thousands. Non-news, non-issue. As an alumni I find their behavior ridiculous, but I’m not going to drop my support for the institution because a few of the students are morons. Wagner gave them their placating semi-political non-response. That’s all they’re going to get because they really don’t have a legitimate complaint.
How much more wonderful it would be if Wagner had given a ringing defense of free expression. I reserve my contributions for people like that, which does tend to reduce my contributions to any academic institution.
Honestly? Sure. But the man is almost on his way out. I think this is a, “pick your battles” sort of situation. Emory just issued a respectable defense of the value of free speech on campus several days ago. I think the institution, as a whole, is taking the right approach (and a stronger one than many colleges over the last several years), but this particular fight is just…not that important. Regardless, the right seems to think it was too placating and these students still aren’t happy with it regardless, so apparently it wasn’t the right approach either way.
But there are so many people clamoring for my contributions, I am entitled to be very selective.
I don’t really understand this post or how it follows from the prior discussion. Was this supposed to be in response to me?
Not important? Support for political candidates is about as core a part of free speech as one can imagine. Really, if the university gives any credence to whining over “Trump 2016,” then the previous defense of frees speech means far less. It ought to be a slam dunk that “Trump 2016” is more than OK to say or write on capus.
Yes, the hurt feelings of 40 students is not the hill to die on with respect to free speech. Political speech happens every day on Emory’s campus, they have no history of inhibiting it. There isn’t any reason to make some grand statement about the value of political speech over chalk drawings that said basically nothing and offended basically nobody. Again, pick your battles. You would choose to pick this battle for exactly the opposite reason that these students have. Both of you are stupid for doing so. This is a non-issue.
Sorry, but the adminstration decided to weigh in on what the 40 students had to say. Silence or some bland noncommital statement well may have been options, but once the administation decided to address the matter, in substantive fashion, the choice was to make a strong statement or make a weak one. In any event, there would have been no serious downside to a ringing endorsement of free speech; nobody woud be “dying” on a “hill,” to borrow your entirely inapt notion. BTW, if you can’t stick to reasoned argument, and have to call people “stupid,” then we are going to have to bring your mother into this. As you ought to know, it is best not to speak of her.
You’re entitled to your opinion. I continue to think it’s stupid–that’s my opinion. The rest of your post is without merit of response. Last response to you.
Wagner’s response is the real problem.
The usual assortment of marxist jews and their amalgam of misfits (blacks, queers, illegals, moslems, felons)
“EMORY COLLEGE: WE PRODUCE ALL-AMERICAN SISSY SURRENDER MONKEYS”…
Emory jewniversity seem to be full of accomplices to these marxists. The Trumpstaffel will remember what has happened here.
BOOO HOO HOO bunch of liberal pantywaists.
TRUMP 2016 DEAL WITH IT
I’m liberal, but what a bunch of babies. They give the left a bad name.
Thank you. I am not a liberal, but I am glad that there are liberals like you that realize that silencing one side is as bad as silencing the other.
Who raised these fluff ninnies? The Snuggle soft bear?!?! Ugh!
TRUMP 2016 btw.
Don’t get me wrong, I think a Trump presidency would literally be the worst thing possible for this country.
That said, all of these kids deserve a good punch in the teeth. What a joke.
I’m not exactly a fan of Trump either, but I am beginning to think he might be the least bad option. Someone who will cause the whole political system to collapse, so it can be rebuilt from scratch
I am not a Trump supporter, but think a dose of reality is due to the folks in vapors at him winning. First, we might actually see Congress reasserts its rightful Constitutional role. They let Obama trash the Constitution, but the irony is they may rein Trump in. Next, Trump can’t do anything unilaterally since he can’t pass law. He will have to work with Congress to get anything done. He can’t resort to executive orders and ignoring the law since he slammed Obama for it.
On the plus side, Trump lives to make deals. He may relish trying to negotiate with the Congress, as it puts him in his native element. What would make sense if to find some common ground and get quick wins on things like tax reform and border security.
Again, I am not a fan, but deal-making is a core political skill and Trump has this in spades. If he has a GOP Congress to temper him, he may do better than expected. With expectations so low, a few quick wins on agreed-to legislation would serve him strategically. He wants to be seen as a guy who gets things done — but so does the GOP Congress (the base wants to see some action, not excuses). If Trump and Congress work together on some legislation viewed favorably by the base, they both gain. Think of it as political profit via a good deal.
I am literally shaking.
“according to Singh there is comfort to be found for those who feel oppressed. “For the students, it’s reassuring to see how they are able to voice out their opinions”
It’s difficult to tell whether Singh is too stupid or too ideological to see the paradox of his statement. He and the other Buttercup Bolsheviks are reassured that they have the freedom of speech to voice their opinions while simultaneously trying to deny other students their right to voice their opinions. Oh, the irony.
This story hits on so many of the characteristics of today’s Social Justice Warriors — double standards, feelings over logic and rights, defining all differing views as “hate”, and a growing totalitarianism. While the students’ crybaby tone is hilarious, the growing trend of their repressive actions across numerous college campuses is a bad sign for America’s future.
What is wrong with these children that they are so fragile, so incapable of dealing with the slightest stress or conflict, that they demand to be protected from any opinion that doesn’t match their own?
Progressivism, as proscribed by the professors and administration of the American University system, has turned these children into weaklings, and simultaneously, monsters.
Baby boomers (the worst generation) raised them
These kids are too young to be baby boomer offspring. These are more likely Generation X offspring if that really matters. But I think it is the liberal dominated education system that is the true cause of it.
You have a point… thankfully, both my kids were STEM majors. They were way too busy with actual school work to get sucked into this crap.
They are fighting for their freedom… To suppress opinions and the free speech of others! Millennials are the most easily duped morons on the planet! Reactionary emotionally stunted puppets! They have no idea what they are even talking about! They live in a simple black and white cartoon world where anything they don’t like is the pinnacle of evil! Hahaha. Can’t wait til Trump beats Neocon war monger Hillary! These fools will lose their minds! Trump protestors are the most hateful people in America and somehow Trumps the hater?? This article proves just that..hateful people calling others haters! Oh the irony!
This is comedy gold. Look at their facial expressions! You’d think someone just killed their puppy. LOL
You want a safe space, try Brussels. How about trying George Mason University where 3 “students” were arrested for possession of bomb making materials. Feel safe now. Wake up cupcakes. This is the real world and certain people want to physically hurt you. Sorry if that makes you cry. Your faux tears and feelings of hurt are not going to be bought much longer. One certainty in life is that reality will always overtake the best made plans. The terrorists are coming and we need to be prepared.
. “[Faculty] are supporting this rhetoric by not ending it,” said one student
I’m sorry, what communist dictatorship did you grow up in? how DARE you sully an institution of higher learning with demands to silence all those with whome you disagree? how DARE you equate failure to censor a viewpoint with endorsement of that viewpoint?
i’m sorry anyone who voices such sentiments ought to be disenfranchised. someone like that is too dangerous to be allowed to vote. they’re a lot more like trump than they’d like to think.
Political speech is the foremost speech protected by the First Amendment. The fact that these students do not comprehend this evidences the utter failure of the University they attend to educate them.
Not just the university, but failure at parenting as well.
No self-respecting American parent should allow their child to reach adulthood without drilling into them the importance of the bill of rights.
These kids are lost.
That’s a really kind way of putting it.
Oh, THE TRIGGERING!! UNSAFE!
Cu@!#
Poor iittle crybabies need to have their diapers changed.
Let’s flip this around. If I see “Sanders 2016,” then I feel “unsafe” because Bernie wants to seize my money and give it to others. That leads to trauma, and suggests that Emory “devalues” and “invalidates” me.
It’s easy indeed to play the same moronic game as the campus snowflakes: SImply regurgitate, mindlessly, a series of campus-left label words. What a load of garbage.
Shame on the Emory administration for giving the tantrum-throwers the time of day. The correct administrstion repsonse would have been: “Support for a political candidate is a standard and accepted form of speech in the U.S.A., whether on a public or a private campus. If you don’t like it, too bad. P.S. You really need to get your diapers changed. You smell.”
And these young adults want to attend college for free? College is not for everyone, trade school is a respectable choice.
So sad that our young men and women are being trained in school to behave like babies. No wonder America is in deep, deep trouble with crybullies thinking they can cry their ways to justice. This story is going national now Emory… you kids should be ashamed of yourselves… just wait until Trump is in the White House…many of you folks will need full-fledged psych sessions daily, hourly, by the minute? #Trump2016
Russia teaches Pre-Teens to handle AK-47s. ISIS teaches 8 year olds to cut off heads. North Korea teaches the masses undying sacrifice for their leader. America teaches College students to panic and demand censorship if anyone has a different opinion.
Who will win, I wonder?
Great points Dave! Wonder if they planned it that way? Hmmm….
Gonna be interesting when those snowflakes score jobs, deal with an angry customer, and start screaming at their bosses for not giving them a room with play doh, bubbles, and videos of puppies.
Gonna be even more fun when, after they’re fired and try to find a new job, previous employers will answer the referral call with “Mentally unstable wuss” ^_^
Note to parents: if you are raising one of these snotflakes be prepared to enjoy their company in your home until you are dead.
Was there enough testosterone at this ‘protest’ to fill a thimble? I’m guessing not.
Taken to its logical conclusion, the Trump supporters must have felt terribly intimidated by the “Dump Trump” poster carried by the protesters. That seems much more aggressive than the “Trump 2016” chalk message. Given that, the protesters need to go through the conduct violation process. Or better yet, let’s just kick these sheeple out of the country for violating American values.
Yes. No one worries about the emotions of people who get shouted down on campuses for being “ideologically incorrect.” Campuses are becoming fascist.
Is this the Onion? It’s hilarious!
I understand how much fun it is to make generalizations about Millenials and Emory U. and academia but this is 40 students out of a student body of 14,000.
True, but it’s also the administration lowering itself to respond to them, which does reflect on the reputation of Emory as a place of Higher Learning.
Poor babies need to return to kindergarten!
If they don’t ant their views challenged, a College should not be their life path. It requires challenge, discussion, and testing ideas. If they are incapable of dealing with that, it is not the College’s fault, it is theirs.
How many of those 40 students are are STEM, accounting, finance, or econ majors?
That question triggers me!
These students think they are in chains? They should be treated for severe delusions and fantastic thinking. Grow up, children! There is a world out there where you will see words you don’t like.
Reads like an onion article. Embarrassing.
On the other hand, Emory should be proud that they produced a student able to troll more effectively with a paleolithic piece of chalk than thousands can with a computer or smartphone and a 2016 internet broadband connection.
I’ll wager that none of them are STEM students. Likely “women’s studies”, “ethnic studies” and sociology majors. And they probably cry when their class work impinges on their demonstration/activism time. ?
Oh, please! I went to a convention in a College in Bennington, Vermont back in the 2000s. Spray Painted on the catwalk in the Theater Building were the words “STOP BUSH” with one of the S’s painted backwards. (Must have been an English major.)
I don’t remember anyone having a nose out of joint about that, and that was spray paint inside a building. Tell these students to grow up, freedom of speech goes for all and if they don’t like that. let them move to North Korea, Cuba or Raqqa.
What will these poor lost babies do in the real “big bad world” I went to college during in the very early 70’s when there were REAL issues to deal and protest against. These poor babies are trying too hard.
Well said.
Excellent response in the Atlanta Journal Constitution: http://politics.blog.ajc.com/2016/03/22/chalk-one-up-to-donald-trump-at-emory-university/
These kids might be a little delicate, but the “toughen up” crowd here in the comments is far more pathetic, frankly. I bet most of you keyboard warriors barely have your own lives together.
I had a paying job from the time I was 13. I traded 5 years of my life for my education, made it through flight school, got water boarded in SERE school, retired from the Navy and am reaching the end of a successful civilian career. I see these kids and wonder what is going to happen to this country. If they don’t toughen up, they’ll be praying to Mecca 5 times a day and if you think their sensibilities are offended now, wait till the Taliban starts throwing them off the roof. They are clueless.
Cool story, bro. Don’t you have some other Gawker link to troll?
You’re the one that threw down the “bet”. Sound like a sore loser.
You followed up an account of your entirely boring sounding life with notions of the Taliban taking over America and you think you actually have something to say here? Back to Fox News, chump, let them tell you what to think some more.
Boring, wow. I’ve been all around the world, flown from an aircraft carrier, lived at the base of the Dolomite Alps (hence my handle Feltre), fathered 2 intelligent, conservative kids, lived in Hawaii, etc. etc. I can’t imagine how wonderful your life must be if mine was boring. I do listen to Fox News on the way home from work but I listen to NPR on the way in. It sounds like you are the one who needs a little more excitement and balance in your life.
You keep feeling the need to trot out your so-called successes, don’t you? But if you’re so secure in it, why do I keep needling you successfully? Maybe because something about what I’m saying stings you? My insinuations are clearly hurting you on some level. And yet here you are, giving static to the kids in this story. But it’s not as fun when it gets turned back on you, is it?
You are the one who is hurt because you lost the bet. Get over it. You lost.
Anything to avoid a little honest self-regard, huh? Keep that wool tightly over your eyes, where it’s been all your life.
Loser!
Keep on proving my point, sunshine.
What point? That you are a second rate troll?
Second rate is over-rating. What would be the lowest grade of troll?
I’m still living in your head rent free. Boring never left college
Loser
You know, Boy, the Navy doesn’t send boys to do a man’s job.
He isn’t stuck in here with you, wimp Elvis. You’re stuck in here with him.
And my hat is off to you Feltre, and all naval aviators.
Thank you sir.
Feltre is living rent free in your head
Annoyance isn’t hurt.
Oh, and ask Belgium about the threat of Islam today as they scrub body parts. Ask France, as Jews start to leave the country. Not many years ago the idea that Europe would face a serious threat from Islam would have been seen as far-fetched. Not so much so today.
That’s better than Soros PAYING you what to think loser!
Another leftist jackass with his Disqus history “private,” to hide the fact that he’s a ridiculous troll.
Maybe you should go to some internet “safe zone” so your wittle feewings won’t be hurt?
Waaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!
You would lose that bet….and likely cry about it…a lot.
Even if they don’t, they will surely allow an OPPOSING opinion to be heard without much ado. Geezus…
I wouldn’t take that as gospel either. Go on Breitbart or someplace and oppose them, and see how they take it.
They take it by making an argument….not running to the principal like these kids. FFS.
Trust me, on Breitbart and similar echo chambers they’ll go running to the admins quicker than you can blink.
What is an admin? Do all websites have similar creatures? Are they the overlords nowadays? Also, are you serious with this argument?
On some websites, admins moderate discussions, ban troublemakers, etc. It’s a site administrator, basically. I wouldn’t call them overlords, but some of them are little Ceasars.
I am serious, yes. My tone might be light but I do have a point: Who are we to judge? Are the commentators here really “better” somehow than the kids in the story, as they endlessly insinuate? Did none of them every say or do anything foolish as youngsters? I see a lot of knee-jerk reactions to this story but very little critical thought.
And look at the huffy responses I’m getting. People are getting super defensive over an extremely non-general insinuation they aren’t necessarily all that themselves. I find it telling.
Yes, they are young and would certainly be forgiven for their foolishness…unless it wasn’t so obviously pervasive as to be generally considered endemic at our institutions of higher learning. Which, sadly, imo, it is. These youngsters aren’t speaking truth to power or any other admirable (albeit perhaps foolish) descriptor that might have been used historically. They want to shut down speech, nothing “light” in that tone at all, sadly.
I’m not defending that. These kids are going about this in entirely the wrong manner. But what’s the right manner? Not the ad hominem crap I’m seeing in these comments, that’s for sure.
Calling someone a special snowflake is really no better than being one, you dig?
Mockery is effective in the face of “la-la-la-la, gonna put my fingers in my ears”. It’s a good start. Just sayin’.
Well, I was testing that for the record by turning the mockery around. But what actually started a dialogue was when I broke character, as it were, and started talking straight. I don’t think most of the posters here have any intention of taking it that far. I think the bulk of them just want to express their own outrage and wander off. Nothing gets done that way.
But no, silencing opposing viewpoints is bad policy. It’s anti-democratic. I get why Trump scares these kids, but they can’t hide from him. They can’t ask the grownups to make him go away. If they want to win they are going to have to stand up. The college president did them no favors by caving on this.
Yep. This is a good forum for them to push back, practice as it were. But, as far as I can tell, they are no where to be found. (Safe spaces win I guess. Sad)
Well, time will tell. It’s a sink-or-swim kind of world and ultimately there are no safe spaces, and these kids are going to find that out the hard way. But you know, every generation looks at the one coming up behind and says, “What a bunch of sissies. This world is in so much trouble when they take charge.” But in every generation enough people smarten up and keep things rolling, and I think it will happen again with these kids.
Hope so, but these kids are truly f*c*tards. Sorry. Rarely do that, but *shrug* – if the shoe fits.
I can handle an f-bomb, censored or no. But again, time will tell. My generation’s parents thought that about us, and their parents thought it about them, and probably on and on back to the time when the first of us learned to walk upright.
WHERE ARE THEY??? No fight in them, unless it’s for the “admins”. They gotta learn. Oh well, ‘night!
I’m a college administrator myself, and trust me, I watch these guys as they work multiple jobs to get through school, suffer stress disorder from their tours in Iraq, graduate in crippling debt, and still get their lives together. All is not lost, I promise you!
JFC…you still don’t even com-pre-hend. I’m done. Forgive me, apologies. It’s late…
The ones you describe need to be put in charge. They also likely don’t whine much. They just go to class, go to work, get the job done, and try to get some sleep. They don’t get much spotlight, since they are not on the lawn protesting but off studying.
I think the difference is prior generations expected more and were less coddling. They expected us to get on with our lives, gain a few scars, learn some hard (and sometimes painful) lessons, and become adults.
I would like to agree more, but the SJW crowd tends to migrate into government, media, and law. Once in power, they seek to remake society into a giant safe space. They take things that work, like the military, and break them. At times I would be willing to pay them to stay in school forever if it meant they couldn’t do harm by graduating.
Bernie Sanders scares me more, since his policies are disastrous. But, I don’t break into tears if I see his bumpers stickers. I just vote against him, help an opposing candidate, and refute his arguments.
Actually, calling someone a special snowflake when they act like one is appropriate and helpful. I got called a lot worse in basic training. So did everybody else.
You sound like a little snowflake yourself,,,Using terms as banning troublemakers and overlords. Run to your safe space.
Yes, we are certainly more capable than these snowflakes. Tougher mentally. Able to reason better. Also, less prone to mob violence.
So how much did the chalk make you cry?
Retired railroad supervisor, little Elvis. Thirty years of a wonderful marriage which produced a gem of a daughter who works with special needs children. Took up tango lessons at 66 and enjoy the challenge. I rather think I have my life very together.
Served in the US Army Reserves and have worked now approaching 40 years. Will pay off a mortgage in five years. Along the way lived in trailers, slept in vehicles, washed up with a garden hose, had a wife nearly die right after childbirth, and spent my teen years in school break building silos. So, I guess I know nothing of life and have no qualifications to speak.
Oh, and toughen up.
We are raising a nation of sissies.
I’m voting Trump 2016 to Make America Great Again.
Anyone who is seriously upset about a “Trump 2016” chalking is manifestly unfit for the intellectual life of college. They should seek immediate help from the local mental health community and only return to college once they have regained at least a basic level of sanity.
Unfortunately, there is no intellectual life left at most American colleges. Today’s students would have been inmates at the asylum in days gone by.
What pathetically childish students you have. Clearly they are not mature enough to be in college, and I find myself wondering how they were admitted.
Tell the crybullies it’s time to grow up and tolerate opposing political opinion.
If you’re legal there is nothing to fear.
These poor delegate flowers are upset because they saw “Trump 2016” written somewhere? What a bunch of crybabies. I’m offended by their intolerance of others and their selfish whining. This is the kind of students that go to this school?? How pathetic.
Good lord what a bunch of pathetic wimps. Yeah surprise-surprise you spoiled, silly faux-intellectuals: there are people outside of your little far-left “safe space” bubble who actually *gasp* HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS FROM YOURS, I know, I know, it’s terrifying, but surely you can manage it, just like everybody else. It’s amazing watching college students preach about “diversity” and “inclusiveness” but then demand complete conformity of thought and the ostracism or even punishment of those who don’t share you ideology. You are some of the most closed-minded, regressive people on the planet, and you are FAR more regressive than Trump could ever be on his worst day.
The new Klan.
Cultural Revolution types.
Sat Cong you bastards.
Thissyfied pansies cwy and cwy when dey sees the bad sign! Pants are pissed. Pablum is puked. Diapers are changed. Yellow lines are magically painted down the backs of these cowards. Life goes on.
So, it is a expulsion offense at a university to advocate support for a major party Presidential candidate? Be sure to notify the alumni during pledge week.
For me, I’m adding “Emory” to my “never hire” list.
Hollywood needs to start mocking these kids in their shows and whatnot, so the snowflakes can see how ridiculous they look to the grown-ups. Should do the trick. That’s where the snowflakes “get their news”, right?
To the wittle babies of Emory,
Thank you. Thank you pushing me over the edge to want to vote for Trump. Because of your hurt feels over a word in chalk I have decided to vote for Trump this fall. The real world is going to scare the ever loving s**t out of yall. There will be many people who you come across with different opinion than you that will probably destroy your fragile senses. I was going to vote 3rd party this year because Trump is a huge dumbass and aweful man, but your actions brought me back to his side.
Oh, Puhleese!
Crybullies! I guess nobody at the university taught them that suppression of speech, thought crimes and physical intimidation were hallmarks of both the Communists and the Nazis. They have to suppress speech because these systems in practice are so unpopular that if people would speak out, the entire system would fall apart.
WAH!
Here’s something else to cry about, crybullies: DONALD TRUMP WILL BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT!
Unless and until the author of this article, and the crybullies he writes about, and the Emory administrators enabling this entire fiasco, finally understand that it is *this* article and everything like it that is feeding the Trump beast, then Trump will continue to be a thing. Wake up!!! This article exists because of irresponsibility on the part of many who should know better. And people who can see the irresponsibility involved in its creation are voting for Trump to make it stop.
They need SJW Hitler, leader of the National Social Justice Party. He’s a kinder, gentler, and more inclusive Hitler. He can bridge the chasm between right and left and lead us out of this morass :
oops here he is :
After Trump is inaugurated will the tumbrils roll?
Fortunately the guillotine is triggering.
Do I get to trigger the guillotine?
Do you suppose any of these pampered snowflakes even know which revolution I am alluding to?
No, that would require actual knowledge of actual history and not just SJW made-up crap.
Only if I get to watch.
Heh! Do you knit?
Put a fence around the campus, install padding over all hard surfaces, and lock the gates forever. Send in marshmallows and tissues from time to time.
You sissies have safe spaces with Hot Pockets, juice boxes and coloring books.
My safe space is well supplied with food, water, medical supplies, ammo and also has over lapping fields of fire.
So, Emory joins the ranks of extraordinarily expensive pre-schools.
Your degrees are officially worthless, children. Explain that to Mom and Dad. Don’t worry. You’ll have time when you’re living at home until you’re 30.
30!? They’ll be lucky if they ever move out.
You shouldn’t judge people based on how things were in your time. The sad reality is that regardless of where you go to school now, it is hard to find a good paying job. People just aren’t hiring millennials and there are multiple reasons for that trend; from changes in technology to decreased rates of retirement in the older generation and the devaluation of a college degree. You shouldn’t shame people under 30 for living at home when that has become commonplace as a result of circumstances beyond their control. If they do not wish to live at home and are doing there best to change the situation then there is no need to mock them and honestly even if they live at home by choice they are beyond your reprieve. What matters is individual happiness and that is not at all related to your arbitrary standards about how they should live their lives. Instead of commenting on students far younger than you, perhaps you should analyze your own happiness and determine what brought you so low that you would try to undermine the efforts of those far younger than yourself.
Do you write for The Onion?
Things are spinning out of control in this comment section.
Few trolls really have power in making hiring decisions as they boast to have. Even as a Republican deeply disappointed at these young alums I would never side with haters. Our system is so flawed that both parties should reflect on themselves rather than simply blame each other, which is slothful and irresponsible.
Perhaps such an open comment section is not a place for intellectual exchange from the beginning, but I hope at least Emory could be a place for open communication.
Don’t make me get my chalk out!
I think the electorate is doing the reflecting for the parties. Apparently the party hacks aren’t enjoying it either. Such is life.
Millennials can’t get jobs in large measure because of the elected officials these same millennials elected to high office. They first bought “hope and change” and now are wanting a geezer socialist who promises them lots of cool free stuff.
Oh, and they also studied at declining institutions that sold them worthless degrees. You want a job? Then study a field where folks are hiring — and at a place where adults are still in charge. Then go to class, not to a protest (riot).
At the same age as these whiners my grandparents were weathering the great depression working around a farm for boiled rabbits and potato soup. Toughen up, snowflakes.
Wrong on all counts. First of all, it takes a very long time for the government to bring about economic change, the current economic climate cannot be blamed on the single president some millennials may have voted for. The current economic climate is probably more a result of those that came before him than him, perhaps someone else could have done a better job to make immediate change, but someone else was not elected so debating over who could or would have done a better job is pointless. Secondly the only people with the right to elect the president is the electoral college, they are the ones that did electing. In reality, voting for the president makes little difference. We do not actually vote on the president but on who will represent us in the electoral college. In many states, members of the electoral college do not even have to go with what the voters thought was best (there are over 80 recorded instances of electoral college voters voting against popular opinion).Next, the institutions are not declining, the problem is that everyone is getting college degrees. As a result, there is more competition for the same jobs and the value of a bachelors as a whole has gone down. In addition, the quantity of people with bachelors degrees has made it hard to find jobs that will hire those without degrees which forced more people to go to college and exacerbated the problem. In your day or your grandfathers day it was a lot easier to get a job without a college degree, that is no longer true. Not only is it necessary to get a college degree now, but it is far more expensive and almost all millennials have to deal with massive student loans as a result. Saying study a field where folks are hiring is ridiculous, because it is nearly impossible to predict what that is. The media has created a false shortage of S.T.E.M degrees, but in reality a shortage does not exist and this is true in many fields, in addition in the coming years many jobs will be lost to machines and people will be forced to do jobs that are “hiring” now, crowding people out. Did you know that people in your grandparents age during the great depression actually had it better than millennials that are living now based on modern work environment? The modern workforce is unnecessarily overworked. They actually work now more than ever before, even during the great depression and for less money, because of outdated hiring practices. Did you know that the average worker in the US works 10 work weeks (420 hours) more than the average worker in germany for the same money? Most of the modern american workforce works from 9-5 5 days a week, based on research done, this lowers worker moral and lowers productivity (workers only really work 45 percent of the time but have to be there anyway) and this situation is far worse now than it was during the great depression. Geezer socialist? You know who else is voting for him? The man that the character of Gordon Gekko is based on. Do you know why? Because his ideas to fix the economy are the only ones that make sense in terms of money velocity. The economy will collapse if money is not redistributed so that the poor and middle class have more money and time so that they can feed the economy by increasing spending.
Are you a student or teacher?
9-5 5 days a week would feel like retirement to me.
That seems to be what is going away.
You are either stuck at part time so that a company does not have to provide insurance or you work 50+ hours a week to cover the inflated costs.
Anyone that supports negative interest rates to increase monetary velocity in the economy is a Banker shill.
We ought to limit the creation of easy unbacked credit and reward savings.
Zero interest rate policies have destroyed pension funds and insurance companies that rely upon laddered bond portfolios to meet long term obligations in a safe predictable investment.
Saying the Depression was not as bad as today is almost at the same level of absurdity as denial of the Holocaust.
Most of the infrastructure that you take for granted didn’t even exist back then.
The REA was a Depression Era project to get electrical service out to rural communities. Ever been in a hard rock coal mine? A steel mill?
Have you ever done farm or construction labor or worked on a freight dock?
All of the above for me. I went to school by day and worked freight till past midnight to take care of a family and pay for books and tuition.
No lottery scholarships back in the 80’s.
Just wow.
I am seriously happy my son turned down Emory’s acceptance…
Did he find a real alternative?
We’ll see…..
Cost of attending Emory University: $63,058 per year. Number of Trump voters created by this: Significant. Especially if a lot of people read this entire article.
8
At this rate, The Onion is going out of business.
Where’s a reliable suicide bomber when you need one?
Don’t be a bunch of sissies. In the 1960s we had real protests.
In the 1960s they protested for the 1st Amendment. Now they protest against it.
The issue is their belief that their feelings are greater than the constitutional values of the Republic and Western Civilization.
Kaiser is afraid they were “hurt” by free speech.
Just the Future Baristas of America lashing out because they’re spending $100K on some BS Humanities degree. Suck on that while you’re fetching lattes, losers.
More like $250,000. Amazing.
Gender studies; Black studies, etc.
Victicrat Studies.
Basically various “Victim Studies.” Disciplines with less academic merit than authoring the little slips that go into fortune cookies.
I have an applied Physics degree from Emory and it got me into multiple top ten engineering grad programs ….. you’re right completely useless.
Would Trump 2016 written in chalk on the sidewalk have sent you into a tizzy?
Wow. We’re all impressed.
Congratulations. Be all you can be!
Wow, I bet you weren’t one of the assclowns sniveling over chalk either.
It’s obviously bothering you also Kaiser. And i don’t blame you either. You’ve obviously worked hard to achieve your goals. Now you have to watch total morons make a mockery of your university.
Join the other poster and let the school know that you will be cutting off donations until the administrators do their due diligence to educate the kids. They can start by explaining to the self absorbed feeble minded students that Emory is not the place for them if they shatter so easily when the world doesn’t run as they think it ought.
This is, simply put, mass mental illness.
Not really. These are leftists … Oh! Wait!
Poor babies!
And people wonder why we say these people are unemployable.
Can these kids, sorry – Emory students, not see these comments? Why aren’t any of them here defending their positions? Weird.
They’re hiding in their safe spaces. They don’t want to face…chalk.
Lolz. So sad, they could practice! Le Chalke!
They are very inclusive of fascism.
Hey President Wagner, get an effin’ backbone and shut down these knuckleheads. The future of America needs men and women; not crybabies!
You do wish that one of these jellyfish would finally grow a pair and go full Walt Kowalski on these…
Our company has solved a lot of problems with human resources by putting most of these elite universities on a “Do NOT Hire FROM” list. Mizzou, Emory, Harvard, Yale et al. Reasons for activities such as in this article. Other issues such as the faux rape epidemic being pushed by DOE and its Dear Colleague letter. The letter is not legal and its is not even a regulation, its just ruminations from a regulatory mindset.
Congrats on your stand against the practices of elite universities. I’m sure punishing students who went to these schools is an excellent way of showing them. Except it is not…., how can you hold administration decisions against the students? All your doing by not hiring from top schools is decreasing the talent pool at your company. People that went to these schools will not have problems finding jobs regardless of if you hire them or not, not letting them work for you if they want to and are qualified to is not doing anyone any good and honestly if that is your ideology I doubt anyone from these institutions would even bother applying wherever it is you work.
Unless he owns a Starbucks, there probably isn’t any job in the organization that the graduates of these so-called “top schools” can do.
Who wants to hire delicate Snowflakes?
The school will react even if a very small number of students come forward with complaints. Just because a few people were hurt enough to complain doesn’t say about the student body as a whole. People have felt the need to complain about stupid things throughout all of human history and will continue to do so.You yourself are delicate enough to complain about how bothered you are by how you perceive Emory’s current student population.
Hurt? You know who was hurt? The people who had Muslim terrorists bombs with nails go off in their faces in Belgium. Hurt? You can’t be serious.
Meanwhile, thugs on a campus can block the doors to events, rush a stage and assault speakers, and generally threaten as a mob anyone who disagrees. These are not micro-aggression; these are crimes and they go unpunished.
But we don’t p!ss our pants when we see a Hillary or Bernie sign. We are adult enough to know there are millions of fellow Americans who don’t share our worldview. Its called democracy.
My previous employer (a Forbes Global 100 company) did not specifically exclude these schools but they recruited exclusively at a small set of “State” schools. This was an evidence based recruitment strategy. Historically, the science and engineering students from the State schools were more successful employees and better team players.
If by top talent you mean a bunch of entitled wusses who were forced by their parents to take practice ACT/SAT tests for breakfast, to not play sports, to have zero social skills, then no. Many companies will take a state school grad with a good GPA and demonstrated leadership and social skills any day of the week over what you see pictured above.
Plus they learned to regurgitate lib talking points from their NEA teachers in grade school and high school. Free thinking is not allowed by the Socialist Fascists that run education these days.
If none apply, then problem solved. The stand being taken is against the mentality of said students and the possibility they might bring that poison with them to the workplace, where workers don’t have a safe place to retreat should someone at the work place have a Trump bumper sticker on his car. Pretty much abundantly obvious to everyone but….you, I suppose.
Imagine having to work with a Trump or Cruz supporter? Oh da horrah!
Everyone makes a stand for what they think is right. They have different views than you do and are exercising there own right of free speech to make their stand. Just because they are making a stand does not mean that they are right and I am not advocating their beliefs or their approach to problem solving, but you are condemning them for speaking their mind and as a result are guilty for the same intolerance to other ideas you are condemning. My point is just that people are being ridiculous and condemning Emory and its students as a whole because they find fault with the actions or behavior of a few students. Even if you look at something inane like Emory’s yik yak you’d see that most the student body is making fun of the people that reacted to this and don’t share the same opinions. This whole thing is being blown completely out of proportion.
It is exactly the proper response. When alumni donations start declining at a rapid clip there are bound to be questions by enquiring minds. Minds that may actually care a great deal about the university and its bottom line. People get fired all the time over silly little issues like money. When enough faculty and administrators have been shown the error of their ways, change will come about rather swiftly.
HR at any real world company would never hire a worthless Snowflake major from one of these Safe Space hellhole institutions. STEM majors have a chance.
Liberalism is definitely a mental disease and it is reinforce in these so called academic institutions.
Really? The words “Trump 2016” make students feel unsafe? The words “Hillary 2016” make me nauseous but I acknowledge that folks have the right to speak or write those words. I’m an alum of the medical school and look forward to President Wagner’s response, which will guide my decision regarding future donations.
What a bunch of facists. No free speech at Emory don’t send your kids there.
Oh. My. God. Seventy years ago, 19 year olds were landing on the beaches of Normandy. And now? Such sad, pouty little Snowflakes. How in the world does one look in a mirror and not be just completely mortified at ones epic wussification? Um, kids? Nobody can MAKE you feel anything. FYI.
$63K/yr for becoming stupider, more delicate, and more fearful. These “students” would have been better off burning the money and spending the 4 years pulling espressos for their idiot peers.
I guess the Ebola at Emory wasn’t contained. They’ve all lost their damned minds.
This is terrifying. Students now feel unsafe and threatened by chalk writing. Wonder if they wear Che t-shirts in the safe space.
Pssssst…don’t let them know Che was anti-LGBT and racist against blacks.
And a full blown sociopath…
I’m so proud of my fellow leftist. War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. Obama be praised! Heil Hussein! Heil Hussein! Heil Hussein!
Fascist liberal snowflakes are now afraid of chalk.
Good. If these are the future leaders I may have to revolt against, I want them to be real cowards with no life experience dealing with blood and guts hanging out levels of violence. I am restrained by the small bit of civility left in society, the Law, the likelihood of evading punishment by the law, and a bit of religion. When those factors change, I will enjoy visiting such violence upon these kids that will scatter like sheep.
It is fun being a wolf.
OH NOOOOO!!!
RUN!!
IT’S CHALK!!!
This is what happens when your kids are raised in a bubble. Chalk, Oh My God! The Sky is Falling! We’re All Gonna Die!
What a disgrace. Future, unemployed who will default on their student loans. Know nothing about the world, or our constitution, but masters of the Starbucks app.
Poor Snowflakes!
Pathetic imbeciles….all.
The Comments section is far more entertaining than this appalling nauseous Emory Wheel article.
Thank God someone finally knows the meaning of the word “nauseous.” People who think it’s a synonym for “nauseated” make me sick.
How to tell if someone is a loser – they flip their **** over a Trump chalking.
BAN CHALK!
Careful. Writing the word “chalk” might be a microaggression of some sort. Perhaps you should just write “ch*lk” and we’ll fill in the rest.
These little, fragile snowflakes are hilarious and frightening at the same time…I hope they do not procreate…for obvious reasons, but also, untrained baby humans are sca-wee…and may require parental safe spaces.
Chalk doesn’t offend people. People offend people.
Help help, i’m being repressed!
Oh you poor little dears, traumatized by a simple chalk message. My heart bleeds for all of you. Actually, no it doesn’t, but I do weep for the fact that our universities seem only able to turn out the most fragile of flowers anymore who think their precious feelings are paramount and are unable to tolerate any other point of view.
I live in Atlanta where Emory is. The guy in the foreground of the top picture is EXACTLY what I envision as an Emory student.
He looks traumatized by the prospect of being exposed to a new idea. His parents are paying more than the median household income so that he can have a glorified pre-school education. I’ll bet they look a lot worse.
I’m sick of all these betas and gammas.
so to be pro trump is evil to be against is soothing?
these infants need a diaper and pacifier …….. they do NOT deserve to vote, drive, consume alcohol or taken seriously .
the same for any person in the college administration who are talking to this rabble
Ooooo, I dont feel safe knowing our government and education system is encouraging such a generation of wusses.
“…we are in pain!”
What a crock. This school should be embarrassed that these kids represent their best efforts at education. These kids are doomed to failure. They will never have the fortitude to make it in the real world. They should all consider doing a semester abroad in Syria.
Send them to Belgium and see what real pain looks like.
I can’t wait until these “snowflakes” hit the job market……
they’re in for a big surprise.
They’re never going to have actual jobs.
These kids are going to remain sheltered in the non-profit and academic fields for their entire lives, perhaps with a few of them venturing off into social justice law or the government bureaucracy. But actual jobs as we know them are not their goal.
I am in pain because of the excruciatingly petty whininess and self entitlement these pathetic little pod people exhibit daily. I demand that safe spaces be created to shelter me from the pain I feel being in their presence and listening to them recite the contents of their programmed brains like talking parrots.
I also demand they be educated in programs that teach them to honor political, intellectual and cultural diversity and to understand the pain they cause people like me by supporting Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton, by expressing their views in any form, and especially by engaging in these risible copycat protests and pity parties.
I am embarrassed for the administration. Apparently the entire bunch is unaware of the meaning of inclusiveness. Popular speech has no need of protection. Unpopular speech and ideas need protection and this administration is a failing. It mys be humiliating to look in the mirror.
Well said.
Find the next idiot wearing a Che Guevara and report them for supporting someone who undermines the Emory values of diversity and inclusivity.
Che did hate the LGBT and black communities…how could Obama allow himself to be posed next to a picture of such an undiverse monster?
Obama, in case you haven’t noticed – isn’t particularly bright – but he is an absolute sucker for having his picture taken.
The Korans have to go too. Trump isn’t my guy, but people aren’t throwing gays off rooftops and waging jihad in his name like they are with Mohammed.
Hold on….we have all been played for fools…isnt that Fred Armisen? LOL. Maybe Emory is now a set for Portlandia??? LOL
I so wish that whomever wrote the chalk message had thought to join in the protest wearing a Che t-shirt.
I think I’ve come across the most satisfying comment on this topic. Thank you.
Thanks! They’re so lacking in self-awareness (among other things) that they wouldn’t even understand the comment.
Why is the president coddling these infants?
Because their parents can afford to pay their tuition.
With enough public episodes like this, they may not WANT to pay their tuition anymore. Seems to be the case at Missouri.
What’s really terrifying is that the alleged grown-ups, the University administrators, goes along with this absurd behavior rather than demonstrating adult leadership. Did they not see what happened at Missouri?
What a pack of faggots
—
Trump wins Arizona! Lock down the Emory campus and tell the snowflakes to shelter in place. Crying towels will be distributed immediately and the grief counselors will be available all day tomorrow at the administration building.
Inclusiveness and support are only for liberal.students. if you are a Trump.supporter or a conservative then you must be excluded and persecuted. Exclusion for the sake of inclusion. Diversity as long as they are all the same.
So chalk-on-a-sidewalk support for the leading Republican presidential candidate is morally equivalent to spray painting a swastica on a Jewish frat house? Are you kidding me?
This is Emory’s Kent State. Neil Young is writing a song about it right now.
Ha. They have “died” of fright at the scariest word they know “Trump”, written on the sidewalk.
Written IN CHALK on the sidewalk.
lol oh the horror someone disagrees with them and wants to vote for trump how scary…those kids are in for a rude awakening once they hit the real world
I sure hope these pampered little hothouse orchids are never exposed to anything GENUINELY traumatic. They might die of sheer shock.
No doubt you’re correct. But the survivors would grow backbones and transform into vertibrates.
Your optimism is boundless.
I am by no means a Trump supporter – quite the opposite – but reading this story makes me ashamed to be an Emory grad. Oh the special snowflakes and the horror of people voting for people they don’t like.
And writing about it. In chalk. On the ground.
In public! The horror!
Trump 2016, snowflakes.
These little sprinkles need to be in nursery school. It is beyond my comprehension that these young “adults” (sarcasm) get so worked up over nonsense. How in the world will these little snowflakes ever survive in the big bad world? What will they do if someone says something naughty to them? Melt? Frankly, the administration is enabling this infantile behavior. Peter Pan would be very happy in Emory Neverland.
The desire for the so-called “safety” being demanded is contemptible. I wonder if these students understand how wildly implausible it is that they could be unsafe because a speaker with outrageous ideas speaks on campus? Obviously they are being taught to complain that that sort of thing is lack of safety. That is a dishonest and cowardly doctrine. If robbers and rapists attack them, _that_ is a lack of safety worth complaining about; freedom from that is the kind of safety they are entitled to. Hearing ideas they disagree with is a part of their education.
HR managers are taking note. I suspect it will be tougher for recent grads of Emory to find a job in their field. They may want to offer a course to seniors in “Can I supersize that for you”.
I’d never hire one.
If a resume’ crosses your desk from a Emory graduate of any year after 2000, shitcan it just to be on the safe side.
Understood. Thank you.
I’ve also passed that cutoff year to others in the field.
It’s sad that in the 1940s, 18 year olds were giving their lives to defend the world, and today they are “injured” by words they disagree with, and demand “protection” from those words.
The pitiful Eloi fear the Morlocks. Wait till they meet ISIS.
Nice Time Machine reference. And poignant
And so apropos
Wait…this is a college? Not a nursery school? Good grief. The coddling they got at home continues in school. How are these children supposed to survive in the real world? I am so afraid for the future of this country.
Kill yourselves. All of you. Seriously just do it.
Look if the guy had written “candyman” 3 times is freak out with them.
College ’89 grad here
Sad to see current Emory students appear unable to cope with reality
Chalk microaggressions? Wait until you graduate and life after college smacks you with a clue-by-four
As someone who has spent the better part of the last three decades recovering from an unfortunate “Ross for Boss” Perot Sharpie incident I can empathize with these students.
If you looked like the people in these photographs, you would be terrified too. It looks like a convention of Star Trek fans.
That’s an insult to Star Trek fans everywhere…
Its official. College kids are wussies. Kids, get your lunch money out. I’m coming to Atlanta
College is where manhood and humor goes to die
Dude, you get around don’t you
shhh, dont tell everyone
This might seem like a non sequitur, but it isn’t. I’ll bet you dollars to donuts that the vast majority of the student who have been affected by the chalk-writing did not participate in sports in high school or at Emory.
I’ll take that same bet that they can speak or write proper English
“I saw where someone chalked that they support Trump. That Chalk scares me so bad I get failing grades.””” OMG – Allah help those simple minded spineless wussies. Everyone gets to use the 1st Amendment unless it scared these ignorant liberal freaks.
The future leaders of our great nation are a bunch of whining turds.
Leaders? 90% chance they’ll be back in their home state working for the Gov.
Leaders? If they can be upset by this , they are leading much of anything
The only good news here is that my kids will be competing against these infants in the job market for the next 50 years.
This is not so much of a blessing, considering we’ll all be paying for these unemployable morons in the form of useless government jobs, unproductive sloth and welfare, increased incompetency when they become our “bosses” in the bureaucracy, etc.
These societal cast-offs have consequences – they don’t just “go away”, far from it.
The problem is the American culture of putting too much stock in a useless “job license”. Our company has finally gotten wise and stopped making a bachelor degree a “requirement” for promotion. We’ve also stopped encouraging our promising employees to get a degree (it’s just too distracting and a worthless use of valuable man-hours).
We’re not the only ones.
The industry-college relationship is changing, at least in the productive vocations.
The man who patents a micro-aggression calming suppository will be one seriously wealthy individual.
Face it America – your kids would stand an exponentially better chance at getting a ‘higher education’ simply locked in the nearest library four years – as opposed to paying to attend one of the kindergartens currently posing as college.
Affirmative action policies come back and bite college administrators. Emory let in thousands of students who can’t hack it, and now they’re bitter, insecure, professionals complainers.
Most of these students can’t hack it in real life, affirmative action or not.
That’s why I don’t hire any college students without a series of referrals, work history, security clearance, etc.
Colleges like Emory and Harvard “prepare” students to run an office, not manage a business environment. I would never trust anybody fresh out of college to run so much as a single CNC on our floor no matter how fluent he was at macro-programming. The ability to manage resources and time with maturity is not something these “elite” colleges prepare their students for – even their engineering schools are famously worthless, little more than credentialism.
If these snowflakes are traumatized by “Trump 2016” written in chalk what will their reaction be to the comments here? Oh, the humanity!
one student, who went on to say that “people of color are struggling academically because they are so focused on trying to have a safe community and focus on these issues [related to having safe spaces on campus].”
Yeah, or maybe they’re struggling academically because they aren’t smart enough to be there and only got in with affirmative action.
A good solution for this issue would be to place the affirmative action kids in a second and third step process. Upon graduation, place these deficient students in jobs for which they are not qualified to hold, then put them on pensions that they did not earn and the problem disappears.
How about we do it the cheap way and let them earn what they get? Novel concept ay?
So they are so distressed that they are “triggered” at seeing a word. Yet they still find courage to act like the leftist thugs that they are when the time comes. Funny.
Okay, you need to close down your university and send all the students home. You’ve failed.
Actually, universities have been for decades, the epicenters of liberal training. They built these people. Now the Frankenstein`s monster has come back to the castle.
An actual quote from the article:
“[Faculty] are supporting this rhetoric by not ending it,” said one student, who went on to say that “people of color are struggling academically because they are so focused on trying to have a safe community and focus on these issues [related to having safe spaces on campus].”
Perhaps doubling or tripling the tuition would make Emory so much safer. And then they should give everyone A pluses and a pony! This new policy could then be widely publicized so that no one can fail to provide graduates with the level of respect they so richly deserve.
They are struggling academically because they aren’t studying or were a social promotion to college on the first place. When I was in college, I barely had time to work my 45 hrs a week job, much less go to class and do home work
If I were the university president, I would tell the pained students that not only am I voting for Mr. Trump, but also I would be inviting him there to receive an honorary degree and the library is going to be re-named the Donald J. Trump library for conservative studies. They would probably have a mass suicide.
Well now that these children have expressed their hatred of Trump and Trump supporters, I no longer feel safe. I demand that the Administration punish these micro-agressors and provide counseling for the conservative students that have been traumatized by these children.
We simply don’t hire students out of college.
If the first thing a prospective gofer tells us about his skills is a referral to his “college experience”, our interviewers have instructions to dismiss the applicant out of hand – I don’t care how much they think of the greenhorns, I’m the one who has to supervise him, but I insist on working with an adult, particularly when our actions and decisions impact millions of dollars in equipment and revenue.
Smart move Terry.
Be adults, for goodness sake!
They could be “adults” like Diane Rodham I mean “Hillary Clinton” and wear “adult” diapers like she does.
Vote Trump!
This behavior of pretending to be fragile will continue as long as it is rewarded. Incentives matter.
These people are basically bullies who try to squelch speech they do not agree with and then cry about how hurt they feel when their efforts to intimidate others fail. They are cry bullies and are beneath contempt.
Excellent point
Am I reading the Onion or are today’s college kids really this lame?
It’s not that they’re all this lame.
It’s that they all enable this kind of unprofessional and childish behavior.
Another simple reason for the drop in hiring out of college is that this culture cannot be allowed into to incubate and fester in a serious work environment. There’s too many livelihoods and too much money at stake. We have families to provide for.
If you “tolerate” this kind of behavior, make excuses for it, look the other way – even if you think you’re not engaging in it, you are.
Find employment elsewhere, because we don’t need you.
Yes, the thought of either Hillary or Bernie is scary. Both are indeed borderline fascists.
You realize out here in the real world no one cares about your feelings. Especially potential employers outside academia.
I have never, ever, felt so relieved that neither I nor any member of my family, nor any friend has ever attended Emory. Yikes! These whiners should go back to high school until they grow up.
Once upon a time Emory was a respectable university with a fine reputation for its law and medical programs.
Can you imagine one of these delicate little flowers performing under any type of pressure without instantly curling up into a fetal ball?
The more I see this type of hysterical nonsense, the more I want to vote for Trump just to watch their heads explode.
The practical effect is actually that the “atmosphere” of discourse will change.
Rather than having a political agitator as the Head of the country, there’ll be a serious businessman looking over the shoulders of these busy-body bureaucrats.
Whether that gives even these private colleges pause (though they’re all publicly funded one way or another), or inspires them to lash out, they’ll be uncomfortable, at the least.
Leadership matters, even if it’s only an inspirational figurehead.
The “mid-level” managers like us will handle the details.
It’s amazing how uninformed today’s college students are and how intolerant they are of those who have different opinions. Equating pro-Trump chalkings to Swastika chalkings is ridiculous. They can’t really be that stupid. So sick of these far left extremists spreading fear and lies in an attempt to bully others into thinking like they do.
I’m going to vote for trump now.
Already did that in NC’S primary
How to immediately shut down debate, 2016 College Campus Edition:
1.) Kick and scream about your feelings to college officials.
2.) Win.
There would’ve been no problem if it was a pro Che or Castro. Your ‘solidarity’ Emory is sick.
Nice going, Jonathan Peraza and Harpreet Singh, your names will now show up in Internet searches from future employers who will consider carefully if they want to hire thuggish snowflakes.
No kidding. Offend by a chalk drawing supporting a Presidential candidate. How are these twits going to deal work any kind of real world issues? A real conflict or real danger? Will they be like the fainting goats? That’s not a good survival strategy.
Do these clowns think that their position is the only valid position? It would appear so.
Oh you poor delicate snowflakes, did someone hurt your wittle feewings with some political speech? Ohhhh you poor wittle dears! You want the Emory administration to kiss your boo boo and make it better?? Good lord. I feel sorry for all the soldiers, airmen, sailors and marines who’ve given their lives over the centuries to uphold American ideals such as freedom of speech and freedom of assembly. And this is what our spoiled, entitled, coddled youth is doing to honor that legacy!! Trying to hide in a Safe Space. My heart weeps for what the left has done to this country.
It does appear that to be a college President these days you have to be demonstrably feckless
Didn’t this used to be a good university?
How old are these students. They don’t look like whiny little babies to me.
These students need to go back to teaching autofellatio to dogs which is the only things they have ever been good at.
Afraid of chalk–that may be a new low.
No wonder these people want free college, so they can stay there in their safe spaces and not have to deal with the real world. Who would ever hire these snowflakes? Maybe flipping burgers is a good career choice for these kids
No, it wouldn’t be. They’d never survive their first unsatisfied customer.
Aww, the “special” (education) snowflakes are ALL “triggered”, best they run to their “safe spaces” might I suggest an oven but only after turning the gas on “high” and blowing out the pilot light?
BTW: The half-Waldo, half-Chinese-food delivery boi, in the center of the top photo looks like the the “crapper creeper” I saw soliciting “males” while lisping “phuckee-suckee fife dolla” at the Rest Area men’s room on I-85
Vote Trump!
Hey dink where’s my pork lo-mein?
Hey $lant eyes “No tip for you” if my order isn’t at my door in TWO minutes!
Listen here Chairman Mao I said 222 White Street NOT Choo, Choo, Choo Rite wheat.
Vote Trump!
These sissies need to be turned over a grown man’s knee and given a good dose of reality 101. Cry baby, sissified whiny brats.
If you put one of THOSE “males” over your knee and spank them they’ll stain their pants and yours with jism.., they’re into that sort of thing.
Vote Trump!
Exactly. That’s my biggest beef with the online “aww, special snowflakes!” reactions. Human nature hasn’t changed, kids are what kids have always been. And these kids’ problem is not that they are especially sensitive, not made of the stuff they’re grandparents’ generation was made of. They’re made of exactly the same stuff. No, these kids’ problem is that they have been failed by the adults in their lives. They are what they have been raised to be, and anybody who complains about the kids is complaining about the wrong person.
Parents, government officials, and school administrators. That’s where the problem lies.
If the name of a political candidate you do not like written in chalk makes you feel “fear”, then go back home to Mommy and Daddy. You are not ready for college and certainly not ready for the big, bad real world where everyone will not be preoccupied with affirming your delicate “feelings”.
“[Faculty] are supporting this rhetoric by not ending it,”
Who are the real fascists here? And if “students of color” are struggling academically, it’s probably more because of affirmative action admitting unqualified students than because of racism.
There is good federal money in those students, which is one of the primary reasons for diversity. The longer they can keep them before they totally fail out, the more money the school will get.
Trump sucks but this country has free speech whether you agree with what the person says or not! Feelings hurt? Be a damn adult! Deal with it!
Emory students are nuts.
Guess these idiots don’t believe in free speech……such a shame these people want to be leaders of the future. I wouldn’t follow them to the bathroom….Losers.
God help you poor flowers when you actually have to go out into the world and compete to make a living.
This is one where I can go and chalk a few things up. And it might be worthwhile to remind those hyper sensitive children that Georgia is a state where you can defend yourself.
One of the most pathetic articles I’ve read about anyone in at least 3 years. Absolute ID10Ts.
It is the DUTY of any “university” to CHALLENGE fools like this daily, not to coddle these little “hot house flowers”.
Challenge these narcissistic brats or shutter the school.
I feel strongly that protest is an important part of the college experience and often argue that people are missing the real point when they come down too strongly against the pettiness of the issues, but this taxes even my support.
Why are college administrators such feckless weaklings? Is there no “social justice” cause too stupid for them to pander to?
30+ people died in a terrorist attack yesterday, and these snowflakes want a safe space because of chalk. I weep for our country if this is our future.
It was actually worse than that. They also included a defense of the creed which inspired the terrorists in their passion play they put on for the dean. Trump is a mortal threat to them even though his supporters have not been moved to murder anyone by his words. But Mohammed is just fine even though his teachings have left a pile of corpses behind wherever they have been applied.
Apparently Emory has given up completely on teaching critical thinking.
If you need “support” for your feelings upon seeing the name of a political candidate you don’t like, you don’t know how to get along with people different from you and aren’t mature enough to be in college.
Go home to Mommy and Daddy, give up your place at Emory and let someone use it who can benefit from it.
The gentle little snowflakes are melting.
They are so fk’d
But totally entertaining
They would be entertaining if the youth weren’t the future of our country. I hope there are enough young adults with common sense to offset these children as I hope my year old great grandson has a decent country to grow up in.
These kids are in for a RUDE awakening when they enter the real world.
Disagreeing with someone’s point of view is not a reason to be fearful. If it makes you feel afraid, you have mental health issues that are keeping you from normal functioning. These cry bullies will never survive in the real world. University has become a huge diaper changer for babies who cannot defend their ideas in any way except with insults and plugging their ears.
The butthurt is strong with them.
College students today:
A. “We respect diversity. Yay diversity!”
B. “We demand the powers that be enforce ideological conformity! Hooray safe spaces!”
Anyone see the problem?
Silly Rich, when they say “diversity” they mean skin color and sexual behaviors
You helpless, infantalized children will have more than chalk drawings of Presidential candidates names to worry about when you’re thrust into the real world with extreme debt and worthless Emory degrees.
Good luck. You’re going to need it.
My God, who let the lunatics run the asylum? Why is the school’s administration pandering to these whiney brats? Tell them to shut up already. It’s chalk. On a sidewalk. And it just spelled out a name. If you can’t handle that, then you’re not capable of functioning in a normal society and should be given treatment for mental illness.
Sorry kids, but you need to go home and slap the ever living s**t out of your parents, because they’ve failed you miserably. You’re too sensitive, you’re narcissistic, and your selfish, and that’s 100% the fault of those who raised you.
FFS our nation is screwed…
FFS, he isnt “banning muslims”, he is saying “ban muslims from immigrating here” which, we should do, along with every other person we dont KNOW will help the country. #brusselsattack #parisattack #bringbackourgirls #hashtagsrepointlessespeciallyondisqus
Actually he is saying ban Muslim immigration until we can figure out who these people are. Immigration can be done if it’s done right.
Trump is not even saying “ban muslims” he is saying “ban muslims until we can figure out what is going on.” Apparently you do not have to be smart to get into Emory any more. These young people are stupid sheep lead by an Alinsky agitator of two.
Something the people of Paris, Brussels, and San Bernardino should have learnt by now.
You would think they would have learned, but they havent. They still are asking why they angered these peaceful people. They dont get that islamic radicals are just murderous barbarians.
ban muslims and close borders.
Thats not what he is saying, but if you want that, its on you. Remember, if they can “ban muslims” then they can “ban you”. Stopping immigrants/refugees is just smart though. We have 93+Million out of work. We dont NEED more workers.
All of these students would have been victims of panty raids when I was in school and I do mean ALL of them.
Why are the parents not speaking out with their wallets and purses? Every dime spent sending their children to these academic petri dishes just continues to cultivate the “poor me” mentality of self-deserving righteousness. Perhaps the 2010’s decade will see the demise of higher education and a restructuring of academia? Let’s turn our questions over to the Mizzou administration officials to find out how that’s working for them? Ultimately it will be all about that dollar.
A lot of these people are paid for to keep the “diversity” quotas up to snuff.
It was not too long ago people this same age or younger stormed the beaches of Normandy facing almost certain death to defeat fasc ism. Now they want fasc ism on campus so as to not offend the the thin skin of the affirmative action enrollees.
In 1944 Americans were not afraid to cross German fields of fire, now Emory “students” are afraid of chalk on their sidewalks.
If they keep this up, I think they should pay for it out of their own pockets and the tax payers should walk away.
Free college? For this unappreciative rabble, my ….
They will never survive the real world.
Good God. We’re seeing the rise of an entire generation of pu$$ies!
No. It’s not a rise. They’re here. It makes the Zombie Apocalypse look insignificant.
“led by College sophomore Jonathan Peraza, resounded “You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!” throughout the Quad”
Yes, I’m sure Jonathan is in a ton of pain. Be careful or that scary chalk monster will get you!
I’m an Emory grad and one with with a lot of money for philanthropic and charitable endeavors. This is Exhibit A as to why I will never give Emory a penny and never send my children to school here. I’m embarrassed and have been for years that I actually went to this school.
Seconded. Glad I’m not the only one. It’s important to hit Emory where it hurts — alumni giving. The Oxford – Rhodes statue saga offers a great blueprint.
Generation Snowflake.
The proper response from a competent president would have been, “would you like me to call your mother to drive you home?”
^^^^^
“We are in pain!” they said…
Really? You are ALL afraid of words in chalk? It “pains” you to see them?
I hope ALL of you are holding a 4.0 GPA to have the kind of time it takes to engage in these particularly pointless protests.
If you all believe actual chalk writings will manifest themselves as a reality, then you have far more personal problems than the feeling of pain.
You promote diversity in beliefs, but cry foul when an an expressed belief counters your own. Your functioning is not normal, and it’s a detriment to you and those around you.
You need to have a clear mind in order to effectively reconcile discourse in your environment. This style of protesting demonstrates an inability to effect fair and proper change.
Go eff yourselves you stupid little twits. Wait until you get to the real world.
This is the saddest little story about sad little children who feel sad that I have ever read in my life. If these sad little children cannot tolerate any opinions at all that they do not agree with in advance, if their sad little feelings are so terribly, terribly hurt, I think it’s best if we call their mommies and daddies and have them come get their sad little children and take them back to their sad, safe little homes.
Parents, I hope you are proud of all you have accomplished in raising children like this who have apparently never in their lives heard a discouraging word. Good job!
These students should grow up and the president of the school shouldn’t coddle them like babies!
What trolls with nothing better to do than post belittling tripe telling these kids to go back to their moms and dads. First, have you said anything that a hundred other people in this thread haven’t said? Second, are your feelings so hurt that you have to oppose who these kids are instead of the ideas that they’re representing?
If you disagree with them on free speech grounds, do so. The rest of it makes you look bad.
An operative question I haven’t seen considered – does Emory have rules regulating where chalking may be done irrespective of the content of the speech?
1. Read the article, yes there are chalking rules, no these leftist snowflake fascists are not upset because these rules were broken, they’re upset that they were confronted with an opposing political viewpoint and that hurt their feefees.
2. This is leftist fascism, pure and simple. These leftists do not want to debate their positions in the open market place of ideas, they want leftist doctrine spoon fed to them and have those that disagree with them outed in a public sphere akin to Maoist struggle sessions.
Shame on Wagner for capitulating, as an Emory grad I’m embarrassed.
Using terms like “feefees” is precisely my point. If you can’t say why they’re unacceptable without resorting to personal attacks and dwelling on your own sore points, you’re not a credible commentator for anyone who disagrees with you. You’re also letting your personal feelings get ahead of the defense of free speech.
Then you have no concept of what a “personal attack” means. These sheltered children are driven by their emotions, they claim to be “in pain” because they encountered a political viewpoint they oppose, hence their “feelings” were hurt and they demand protection from those in power to silence that opposing viewpoint. There are strong parallels between the actions of leftists in college today with those students in China during the cultural revolution.
The fact that you support efforts to shut down opposing speech (or relegating it to a “free speech area”) shows how out of touch you are with the basic tenets of freedom.
Again, you’re letting your personal feelings get ahead of the defense of free speech, which makes you look bad. I don’t support their efforts to shut down opposing speech, though I do accept that procedural methods may be used to ensure that every side follows agreed-upon rules.
Maybe, just maybe, people are getting a little tired of these children and their tantrums. And a little worried about the direction our country will take as these kids graduate and go out into the real world. If you haven’t noticed, these tantrums are not simply going on at Emory, and they are not only about Trump 2016. College age kids (and yes, kids, as they do not act even a little like adults) are trying to squelch any speech but what they like on campuses all over this country. Safe places. Scared of chalk. Coloring books and counselors. If you don’t like the derision with which so many of us hold them, don’t read the comments.
you sound like Clinton
A neutral rule prohibiting “chalking” as a form of vandalism would be fine. However, I doubt that these students would be afraid of “Bernie 2016” on the sidewalk and it would probably be overlooked.
There is a much larger issue here. People should not be encouraged to be weak. They need to be encouraged to be strong. Bad ideas need to be responded to with good ideas. The desire to simply ban uncomfortable ideas because they cause pain is so damaging to society and these kids.
Another thing – one of the strategies tyrannical governments used on their people was the redefinition of words. This is happening on campuses with regard to the word “safe”. The word has been robbed of its meaning. It is simply impossible for a neutral message like “Trump 2016” written on a sidewalk to make someone unsafe.
“Trump 2016” is not a neutral message. It may not be a message that does direct harm to others (I agree, that’s absurd), but to call it or “Bernie 2016” a neutral message ignores precisely what free speech protects. It protects expression even when it’s not neutral.
I wish these students had protested Trump 2016. I wish they had used procedural methods like rules surrounding vandalism. And I wish the Trump chalkers had made special efforts to either stay within these rules (giving the protesters no opportunity) or that they will challenge these rules. I want better engagements that don’t immediately descend into the depths of people’s prejudices about millennials or nanny generations.
If you accept that people should respond to bad ideas with good ideas, then you probably agree that attacking these kids and telling them to go back to their parents attacks a bad idea with another bad idea. The desire to simply exclude people you disagree with because they represent X bad thing is damaging to society and to these commenters.
I guess by neutral I meant non-threatening. If the message was “Kill the fascist liberal students!” then there might be reason for concern.
Many (most) people do not generally argue in the most refined way. Name-calling or sneering condensation are not the best strategies. However, the behavior of these kids is so absurd that the kids themselves do need to challenged. Their character needs to be examined and criticized. They need to be taken to task. They need to be taught honor and strength.
Then repliers should show honor and strength as well.
I agree with you.
I just realized that I did not use the word neutral to describe “Trump 2016”. I used it to describe a rule against vandalism. This rule would be content-neutral, meaning it would be enforced without the content of the message having any effect on enforcement (hopefully).
Violation of “chalking rules” is not a justification for feeling “unsafe” or similar pathetic reaction.
I never said it was.
So do tell, exactly what “ideas” are these wannabe revolutionaries “representing”?
The loaded terms of your question aside (they never identify themselves as revolutionaries), readers should be competent enough to identify these points themselves. I’ll point out three, and then distinguish one point often identified with the students but which lies securely within the purview of the administration
1. They oppose Mr. Trump on several grounds. Some allude to particular policy suggestions like banning all Muslims from entering the US. Others alluded to racism and other policy issues.
2. They want the university to disavow Trump as a candidate or, lacking that, to acknowledge that people on the campus do not agree with Trump or his policies.
3. Within the previous claims at least one person implied that they want a ban on speech because of its content (“[Faculty] are supporting this rhetoric by not ending it”).
Then the university, without further prompting, began investigating whether the postings were within university codes of conduct for chalk writing on university property.
1 and 2 are not free speech issues. People may agree or disagree with these points, but they constitute no violation of free speech. 3 might, if you believe that campaigning for Trump doesn’t constitute a personal attack or some form of non-protected speech. Independently, so might the university’s response, if you believe that chalking (regardless of content) should not be regulated on campus.
Telling these kids to go back to their mothers and fathers fails to contribute meaningfully to any of these points. At best, it’s mere venting. At worst, they obscure legitimate concerns about free speech for the sake of hating on a few students, while missing that the only teeth here are in the administration’s response.
The fact that they are carrying signs addressing the “chains” they are force to endure by being exposed to chalk of the sidewalk certainly questions their level of “competence”.
The real question is, do they get so worked up over other illicit graffiti on campus or is their spleen venting reserved for politicians they’re supposed to oppose? It’s an absolute guarantee that were the “chalking” deemed to be a form of tagging the same group opposing it would be strenuously defending it.
All in all it’s not a question of free speech but rather of thin skinned children incapable of accepting that there are those who disagree with them.
Okay. So you disagree with them. The other stuff (“thin skinned [sic] children”) just makes you look bad.
The “protestors” are spoiled and pampered children who simply regurgitate well worn leftist talking points that most of them are incapable of understanding. If mere chalk on a sidewalk induces trauma that requires therapeutic intervention they need to withdraw from pubic life and hide out in their parents basements where they will always feel safe and secure.
You have nothing but personal attacks without substance, and are thus not worth reading. Goodbye.
Translation: “I cannot refute your statements so I don’t want to talk to you anymore – so I’ll just insult you and attempt to look like I’m taking the high road.”
Rather than running away to your safe space why not simply refute the fact that the protestors are play acting a drama scripted in circa 1968? Of course scurrying off to your lair is much, much easier.
Makes him look bad? Hardly.
It is merely a statement of fact.
“Thin-skinned” –
To take from the article – one student felt “unsafe” simply at the thought that someone on campus wanted Trump for President.
Now, I’m not a Trump supporter – far from it. But, it is simply a fact that a lot of people are. Emory College is in Georgia where Mr. Trump received more than half a million votes.
So, this young lady is so delicate she feels “unsafe” with the possibility that she attends school near any of those half-million primary voters, to say nothing of the ones who didn’t vote but would still support him.
That’s pretty much the definition of “thin-skinned” – being so delicate you cannot handle even being near a large segment of the population simply because they have committed the “crime” of thinking differently than you.
“Children”
They are young adults but they are certainly acting like children – loud, emotional, irrational responses to innocuous events.
His estimation is spot-on.
It’s perfectly reasonable to add your voice to that of others in a forum like this. You might as well ask, why did 40 students join the protest against the signs; wouldn’t one of them be sufficient? The fact is, the presidents wouldn’t meet with one student, and one comment here would not demonstrate how widespread is the disdain that large numbers of people feel for both the Emory students who feel “threatened” by others’ free expression and the Emory administration that endeavors to shut down free expression.
Which student in the picture are you?
I was not a part of this, nor would I want to be.
Isn’t it odd that most leftist arguments are usually some variation of the theme “shut up”?
That’s neither unique or distinctive of “leftists,” given most of the comments here tell the protesters to shut up, go home, or otherwise be silent.
It would be more in line with “free speech” principles to defend the right for these students to protest while challenging the content of what they’re suggesting – one cannot object to something being said on the grounds of political content.
No one is arguing here that they should not be allowed to protest. That argument is a straw man.
What is being said is that these leftist students are acting like immature brats to take offense at something as trivial as benign election slogans written in chalk. People are obviously, and justifiably, commenting on their skewed priorities that compels them to squander their first amendment rights on such a trivial issue.
And you want them to shut up.
Yes, people have been arguing that they should leave the university and stop protesting. “Emory is a private college, if you don’t like things there, leave.”
Anyway, how is your summary of what is being said any better? Immediately it launches into judging the kids rather than judging issues of free speech. “Immature brats” – “take offense” – and yet in making *them* the focus of your attention, how are you any different? You’re taking offense.
No, taking offense isn’t an issue, or any speech that felt strongly about an issue would be suspect, including the commenters here. That misses the issues involving free speech. Why isn’t the focus specific to either one student’s request for a ban (which would obviously violate free speech) or the university’s use of laws to regulate chalking on campus (which might regulate free speech if the decision to execute the rules were connected to content)?
I don’t want them to shut up. I want them to be better advocates for free speech issues. I want them to consider the deleterious effects of attacking the people they dislike rather than building strong cases against the violations of rights or the ideas being represented here. I understand that legal bans don’t produce good speech. My comments to y’all are similar to the ones I’d make to the student protesters – focus on the issue. Speak in ways that would engage a neutral audience. Build support for a particular idea, not a general ideology and not a prejudice or fear.
You are missing the important point.
We aren’t judging the kids for their speech, but for their actions and the amount of outrage they are exhibiting.
It’s histrionic behavior, like a temper tantrum – typical of children, and should be treated as such.
I think very few people give two seconds of thought concerning their political beliefs, much less judging them for it.
If this was a bunch of pro-trump supporters treating a pro-Bernie “chalking” the same way – most of us would be laughing just as hard.
The ridicule isn’t about “free speech” – it is about this children reacting to a benign statement as though it was Mein Kampf and freaking out.
It’s pathetic.
You’re judging the kids, and thereby committing to so-called “tantrums” similar to those that you purport to oppose.
LOL…wow..you never took a logic class, did you?
First off – everybody judges. You can deny it or be honest with it. You are judging the comments here thinking we are being too hard on the kids – which by your “logic” would mean you also are “throwing a tantrum” by judging me.
Secondly – the fact that you cannot tell the difference between a calm post on a message board from me laughing at these kids and kids going to the dean of their schools demanding “safe spaces” and censorship of benign political speech…specifically, which one of these is a “tantrum” speaks VOLUMES.
Here’s a hint (if you have this problem in the future) – the person who is laughing and making zero requests for anyone to do anything different isn’t throwing a tantrum.
You are trying to draw this moral equivalency here – that people here discussing the idiocy of this event are no better than the kids demanding safe spaces and acting like they are Freedom Riders because they lived through the horror of the Great Chalking of 2016.
The problem you have is there ISN’T a moral equivalency.
I’m not telling them to shut up.
I’m not telling them not to protest.
I’m not trying to use the powers of authority to silence them.
That ALONE – separates me and puts me light years ahead of them on the “supporting free speech” standard – and you trying to draw equivalency between us is simply laughable.
What I (and most of these posters are doing) – is exercising OUR free speech and ridiculing these kids for acting in a ridiculous manner, making them pay the social cost for their ridiculous actions.
THAT is how you adjust behavior while not curbing their free speech.
You let em talk – you just point out how stupid they are being because that is what they do to their peers and what they are conditioned to react to.
They couldn’t possibly care less about your “lets all have a respectful discussion on this and treat all sides equally” rap – that doesn’t register.
Having the majority of the country laughing at them does.
Heh…you never studied logic, did you?
Firstly – everyone judges other people. It’s part of being human. You are judging me now (and everyone else you are calling “trolls”) – using your “logic” – that would make you throwing a tantrum too.
Secondly – tantrums are determined by two things – emotion (specifically, anger) and actions. The only actions I have done are the same as you – simply typing at a keyboard, and I am hardly emotional over this – I think it is hilarious and sad, but there isn’t any anger in it.
What you are missing is that your pretentious preening and wanting to give these kids “respect” for this is part of what brought us to this point in America. You are treating their childish rants as though they have merit – just arguing against their censorship.
Do you think that’s better? Do you think that it’s OK for them to honestly feel traumatized over CHALK and that it’s appropriate for them to act like they have been horribly abused and mistreated?
That’s what giving this behavior “respect” does.
You are part of the problem.
Exactly!
No offense, Mr. Howard – but you seem to be missing the point of the ridicule.
I doubt many of the people on this thread would have batted an eye if these students held an “Anti-Trump” rally to show their opposition to him – or defaced the chalkings to say “Never Trump – 2016” – or any number of what are regarded as somewhat reasonable responses (relatively speaking) on seeing political speech you strongly disagree with.
I believe most of the people commenting here wouldn’t even have read the story in the first place, much less commented.
The ridicule of the students is rightly focused on the fact that these students are treating benign political speech as though it were a hate crime – demanding “safe spaces” and using laughably pretentious slogans like “the only thing we have to lose is our chains”.
This wasn’t the Kent State Shooting or the church bombings of the 60’s.
IT’S CHALK ON THE SIDEWALK.
It’s chalk on the sidewalk that doesn’t even have a racial slur, threat, or even the specific endorsement of a controversial policy.
The boils down to this – if these kids cannot handle something as benign and inoffensive as this, they are horribly, laughably, ridiculously unprepared for the real world – and we need to stop coddling this behavior and pretending like it is justified or reasonable.
It isn’t.
These kids need to realize that part of being a grown up is being tolerant of other beliefs and realizing that you can’t “run to Mon/Dad/School official” every time you see something you don’t like.
Oh look at the sad little faces in the last pic. LOLOLOL
“College sophomore Jonathan Peraza, resounded “You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!” throughout the Quad.”
Do you kids have any idea how ridiculous you sound to normal people? Americans get to vote, and you don’t get to complain to mommy and daddy when someone votes for a different candidate than you do.
The imbeciles don’t know what pain is. Pathetic little parasites.
I remember when my little boy was about 4 or 5, he had a stuffed elephant he carried with him everywhere and elephants were his favorite animal. In kindergarden, he met a boy who said lions were his favorite animal and he didn’t like elephants. Later that day, my 5 yr old complained to me, almost in tears, that this boy did not like elephants and it was not right. I had to have a long talk with my 5 year old that people are different and have different opinions, and we should respect each other’s right to form our own opinions, and focus on the things we have in common instead of the things that separate us. Now they are friends and share their toys, even though one likes lions and the other likes elephants. Apparently, no one taught these delicate students that lesson.
Emory has been added to my company’s “danger list.” It’s not a blacklist per say but any Emory Student applying for the next 5 years will have to undergo extra scrutiny to make sure they aren’t intolerant crybabies and can function in the real “adult” world. I advise other hiring managers and those in such positions to do the same.
It’s hard to take this seriously without a company name. If it is serious, then I suppose I must accept that censoring others’ political beliefs with a McCarthy-like blacklist is acceptable to your company as well as to these Emory students. You may think you differ, but you’re cut of the same cloth.
Seriously? You actually compare this to a “McCarthy-Like Blacklist” and think it is “censoring political beliefs”?
It boils down to reliability.
If a person is so entitled and delicate that they think someone writing a completely non-threatening slogan on a sidewalk warrants a protest or university action – then they likely aren’t someone who will adapt well to a corporate setting, or the real world for that matter.
I could care less what a person’s political beliefs are – but, if they are the type of person who falls to pieces from “Trump 2016” written in chalk on a sidewalk, then I cannot rely on them to meet deadlines or work under pressure.
Who knows? Maybe they will go to lunch and see a Trump commercial or (heaven forbid) actually eat lunch sitting next to people talking about his policies – we’d have to call the paramedics.
Past generations of kids their age were in combat or working to feed their families. These kids are protesting against non-threatening, non-slur, political advocacy. I’m sure political cartoons make them lose their damn minds.
These kids are rightfully being ridiculed because of this – coddling them and giving this type of nonsense “respect” is what brought us to this point.
“it’s reassuring to see how they are able to voice their opinions”
Unless that opinion supports Trump, in which case the inquisition will be restarted.
It’s scary the monsters that have been created by the progressive Left.
I just can’t understand how a person can be so weak and so fragile that they feel intimidated and “unsafe” by “Trump 2016” scrawled on the sidewalk. These students have been damaged by something – their parents, the school system, or the discrimination they may have faced, I don’t know. But they have been taught to behave in precisely the wrong way to these kinds of situations.
They’ve simply been taught that throwing a tantrum brings results in today’s world. Great lesson to teach a child….and these most certainly are children.
And will most likely remain children.
As an Emory grad, I’m appalled by Pres. Wagner’s capitulation to these fascists – I hope other graduates also plan to withhold donations as well until Wagner issues a strongly worded statement underlining emory’s commitment to a diverse student body, that is, diversity of ideas and not skin tone.
Fascist? Please, fascist kids would be kicking your face in with a jack boot for writing on their campus…these kids are just pathetic.
Yeah, I thought Emory was for smart people. So do they have affirmative action or what?
That headline has to be an Onion parody, right?
I’m afraid that The Onion’s business model has been out-competed by reality.
Wonder if you guys realize how much of a laughingstock you are. Trump is a terrible candidate, but he is also someone supported by a significant percentage of the population, like it or not. People are entitled to support him, just as they are entitled to support Bernie or Hillary. That some of you feel entitled to a world in which no one supports Trump is insane. Grow up.
And honestly, how do you expect to function in the real world if this upsets you so much? Not everyone can live on a Patreon and a YouTube channel. Some of you will have to get actual jobs, where you will have actual colleagues who hold views that you find vile. You will not be able to tell your boss that her views are problematic and you need to be shielded from them. You will need to suck it up and be adults. Have you learned how to do that? Will you ever?
I feel threatened by this comment and demand a safe space where I can process my anxiety.
Here’s a {hug}.
Trump is a terrible candidate? You mean, worse than the criminal and socialist on the Dem ticket?
You are missing the point, which is that even if we accept the premise that Trump is garbage (I do, you don’t have to), his supporters still have a right to express themselves, and these children do not have a right to be free of views they find distasteful.
Wow, you still throw around socialist like it is a bad word……interesting. It’s almost like we’re in the 50s and still haven’t realized what that is or how it manifests itself in countries. Capitalism in the US’s form has not been the only model that has been somewhat successful in developed countries. Calling someone socialist today just doesn’t have the same effect as it used to…..sorry.
OK, Sparky… How does Communist sound? A little more fitting?
Once capitalist money no longer props up the fragile European economy socialism will once again carry the onus of failure it so richly deserved.
Exactly, having a strong America to do the dirty work is what allowed european countries to softly go socialist. They didn’t have to worry about defense spending or innovations.
The term socialism doesn’t have the same effect for young people, for sure, largely because they have not been correctly educated about the horrible reality that is socialism. If you knew your history, you would know that, too.
Where has socialism – meaning the government ownership of the means of production – been successful in developed countries? Please don’t try to pass off a few Scandinavian countries as your example. They are mixed economy but not socialist states, as they have private companies and they support meritocracy. In addition, they have had to make reforms over the past few decades to make them more market-oriented in order to support their welfare programs. How about Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea? Their governments own everything and run everything. How is socialism working there?
Socialist is a bad word. I say and have already VOTE TRUMP
No, Trump is a terrible candidate like no other in the last 40 years, you have to go back to Wallace to find someone as repugnant as him.
nonsense
Perhaps, but is that a reason to go crying to the university president over hurt feelings?
FYI, for many Hillary is far worse than Trump will ever be yet those people are not crying over it and demanding a “safe space”.
To your question. Obviously no and if you want an elaboration see my other post somewhere up above this one.
FYI: I am not a Hillary fan.
Per your Trump people comment: Eh, most of those people have conceal and carry permits. ; )
Nah. Both parties are nominating lying sociopaths who are obsessed by only money and power. However, only one party seems to be concerned and is trying to block their potential nominee.
I’ll buy that.
RiRedin what makes you think Trump is so bad? Is it because to get the USA cleaned up?and build walls and close borders? anyone with a grain of sense knows these things need to be done, You sound like those kids.
Actually, you sound like those kids, because I disagree with you and don’t like your candidate of choice you automatically start to make assumptions about me.
Anyway, to answer your question, I don’t know, it could be the xenophobia, racism, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia of Trump and/or his followers which makes me question his ability to lead this nation. Add into it that he is a vain, egomaniacal, vindictive, petty, thin skinned person who was put into the game on 3rd base and scored on someone else’s sacrifice fly but thinks he hit a home run. His lack of depth and breadth of knowledge in areas of both foreign and domestic political policy is stunning and his only claim to being a good executive leader for this nation is that he is a successful business man, despite a long list of failed companies and bankruptcies in his wake. As a veteran, the fact that he belittled John McCain, regardless of how you feel about the Senator’s politics, service and imprisonment during Vietnam, tried to run street vendors, many of who were veterans, off of 5th Ave., used us as a prop in his political circus (as everyone else does) and has failed to come through and pass the money he raised along to the veterans charities he claimed he was raising it for.
So, Ms Sweet feel free to vote for this man all you want, it is your God given right as a citizen of this nation. But he is a charlatan that is duping you and his other followers and using fear, lies and mistrust to get you to follow him. He is not going to bring back the manufacturing jobs, open the closed coal mines, reinvigorate the steel industry, regardless of what he says. Those days are behind us and I’d rather a leader who is looking ahead to new industries and businesses rather than making false promises about bringing back the old.
Says the man with the Marty Feldman profile pic. The man who refused to meet Frank Sinatra because he was so opposed to his politics. Typical.
Imagine the butt-hurt on the left when Trump actually becomes president!
We can only hope that those who are promising to leave should he win actually do so.
I am not a Trump supporter, but the reaction from these little kids is almost enough for him to get my vote. I will vote for him in the general, should he become the Republican candidate, crying children or no.
Boys their age were storming the beachfront on D-Day, facing a barrage of enemy fire.Watch the opening of “Saving Private Ryan.” Then compare and contrast with these coddled Emory students.
My grandson, who is their age, is in the Army now. A mature young 23 year old, who seems to have nothing in common with these mommy- dependent pansies.
Oh, LOOK – a group of kids who will never be hired!! and they are huddling together!!
I’m as liberal as they come, but you students need to get a grip! Campaign slogan chalk writing on the ground makes you scared? Oh my Heavens. We are not looking at the leaders of tomorrow here.
I’m about as conservative as they come, but this is something upon which both sides of the isle can find common ground. Tomorrow’s leaders need not to curl up into the fetal position and demand others take punitive action on their behalf when faced with a contrary opinion. This is downright scary.
I have a word for “curl up into the fetal position and demand others take punitive action on their behalf when faced with a contrary opinion”.
That word is “urinal”.
I look forward to never hiring any of you.
Where do you work?
I’m not particularly anonymous. You can look it up very quickly.
If this is what an “elite education” is all about our society is in for a very rough ride. After they graduate let’s hope their customers at McDonalds’ treat them with the “respect” they deserve.
By what stretch has an “education” at Emory EVER been considered “elite”?
Perhaps I should ask, by WHO?
Perhaps it should read this is what $59,444 worth of education is worth these days.
Wow, these kids are so screwed when they get out into the real world. They are so used to their mommy and daddy protecting them from anything that might possibly not make them joyous (probably got ice cream for dinner after whining) that they think its the administrations job to speak out against some sidewalk chalking and how they “dont feel safe” because someone was able to write something with chalk.
Time to grow up kids. Life is full of things you will not like.
Good grief. I hope this isn’t a microcosm of the greater student body, but an aberration instead. The willingness to punish someone who holds a viewpoint than yours is the sprout of true evil. It needs to be uprooted before it spreads.
Too late. This is their culture. Everything that isn’t them is “hate”
Jesus, I am as progressive as they get but grow a pair. It’s some kid writing with chalk on the ground…if you can’t handle that how are you going to deal with the CTO dropping f-bombs left and right as he curses you and your team out for missing a deadline. Stop wanting to be coddled and start wanting to be challenged. How is your generation going to deal with the real challenges ahead of you, climate change, dwindling resources and growing population, poverty and the dire results of it, etc. if you can’t deal with someone writing the name of a candidate you don’t support on the ground in chalk then just give up now. Cause the universe has no interest in making you feel safe, in fact, to paraphrase from a movie, the universe is a serial killer and we are all on it’s list. Grow a backbone and deal with it.
And you can start by acknowledging everyone…and that means everyone…has the right to freedom of expression, even if that means they are expressing something you find distasteful or bothersome. To paraphrase a well known quote, the right for someone to swing their fist ends at your nose. Suck it up buttercup.
Ack! You just triggered mulitple microaggressions!
Seriously going to Emory college produces students traumatized by a “trump 2016” in chalk?
If this is what exposure to Emory college does to students Emory might as well put up a “Don’t hire an Emory graduate for any responsible position.” sign on campus and be done with it.
I would change that to “Don’t hire an Emore graduate”, period. It would not be worth the headache.
Cue the tiny violin…
Awwww… poor l’il snowflakes…
I’m sorry folks but I simply can’t stop laughing………”We have nothing to lose but our chains”
I know, right? Blithering idiots don’t even have a clue how good they have it.
No, indeed they don’t. But comments like that one are frightening when one considers these soft, whiny children might (stress “might”) become adults.
Sadly, the student newspaper is encouraging their victimhood, playing into their Munchausen Syndrome and forever harming Emory’s reputation as a university with highly educated and serious students.
“Emory’s reputation as a university with highly educated and serious students.” LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! Well, that’s been taken care of!
The grown ups are to blame in this case. The educators are prescribing policy for chalk writing by college students. Suggestion to the administration: how about 1500 word essays by pro Trump and anti Trump partisans published in a special issue of the school newspaper. Then, all day debates with faculty moderators between the same groups. A bit more intellectually rigorous than chalk slogans don’t you think? Unless the mission at Emory has changed from education to baby sitting.
I think that is the mission change at most colleges today. These children are going to be in for a big shock when the real world hits them square in the face.
My problem isn’t that the real world will hit them in the face, it should. Maybe they will wake up, but in reality they won’t. I see those of us with successful jobs and careers being pulled down to the abyss by these emotionally undeveloped morons.
Emory University, “safe space” of the regressive left. As a longtime sel-identified liberal I’m appalled. Guys, sometimes things in the world might make you a little uncomfortable. Sometimes people may express an opinion different from your own. If all you have to worry about are “microaggressions” then you are so, so privileged.
They want a safe space from chalk? Wow, try telling the Yahzidis that. They need a “safe space” from ISIS. How about the citizens of Paris and now Brussels? They too could use a “safe space” from ISIS. It seems ISIS doesn’t use chalk for their aggressions.
“If all you have to worry about are “microaggressions” then you are so, so privileged.” Confirmation Bias, that is very well stated!
It’s so much easier to tweet your
friends about how you’ve been injured than to spend all day looking for
clean water. And on days when no one is after you, tweet about Cecil the dead but beloved lion.
Nice First-World problems.
Cry bullies again? Your act is getting old.
THESE are COLLEGE age brats? They less mature than kindergarteners. I know I wouldn’t hire one. Can you imagine the crap they’d try to pull on a job, to the detriment of the company? Now, quick, someone in that school administration, change their diapers! They smell!
“Idiocracy” was supposed to be a film, not a prescription.
Good grief, grow up already. Waaaah waaaaah waaaaaaah.
As an Emory grad ’04, I hope the university will not sink to the level of these students and dignify their attack on free speech. It should be the duty of our university to help these kids understand that the civilized, educated response to speech you do not agree with is to respond with your own speech. Trying to use force to shut down ideas you do not like, or perhaps even despise, is the anti-thesis of a liberal education and a free society.
If they do jump into the PC pit, I would be unwilling to hire anyone with Emory on their resume, for fear of infecting the workplace with litigious special snowflakes, who need constant coddling and protection from people out in the real world.
“Chalkings”??? OMG! Is this serious? It’s election season and ALL sides of the political spectrum should be respected. You don’t have to like it but you should respect the right of each side to voice their opinion. CHALK makes you feel unsafe? SMDH
What in the world is wrong with these college students? If you don’t like “chalkings”, get a bucket of water.
They secretly welcome these chalkings.
They allow students and faculty to virtue signal each other and confirm their place in the leftist hivemind by condemning the person who wrote on the wall as being literally worse than Hitler.
Signaling their virtue is way more important than actually acting on beliefs in their twisted world.
I look for fake “false flag” racist chalkings to show up this weekend.
WTF is a “false flag” racist?
Far left liberalism considers itself a religion so acts like this are their sacraments – an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace.
Right!?!?! BUT that would require these babies actually do some manual WORK. Heaven forbid one of them has to actually do that. These wimps can barely lift an Iphone or small starbucks cup, you really think they could scrub a sidewalk? Doubtful!
no, they are college students. They should be SMARTER than a bucket of water. Get some chalk and write #STOP in front of the TRUMP 2016 if you don’t like him. Or “DON’T VOTE FOR” Be a little creative… after all, you are supposedly intelligent. Supposedly.
Get a list of these rabble-rousers and make sure their financial aid for 2016-2017 doesn’t contain a single Emory “grant/scholarship” (i.e. diversity kicker). Quite obvious these are coddled brats who schemed their way into a college they’re not academically fit for—so the money provided to them is being wasted.
Our universities are nothing more than Marxist puppy mills now, coddling dysfunction, laziness and social disease. Half of these little punks can’t even read at a 10th grade level. I guess the world is a playground when you are young and stupid.
Trump Chalkings? CHALKINGS!?!??
Please tell me that the state of America’s “Higher Education” simply CANNOT get more ludicrous, stupid,and moronic than this.
Dear God, PLEASE.
But alas, it no doubt CAN and WILL (probably in an hour or two).
Is there any wonder why Emory students are often called emorrhoids?
The kids aren’t scared, they just want excuses to get paper/project extensions, extra time on upcoming exams, and ultimately inflated semester grades. It’s a big scheme.
Exactly. Their statement concerning how this affects academic performance is clear motive.
Holy crap! What pathetic losers. Definitely not “the best and brightest” by a long shot… hope they enjoy their long careers of “do you want fries with that”, because people like me certainly aren’t going to be hiring them….
Today’s a “Black” day at Emory (is THAT “racist”, you tell me) when supposed adults cry, whine, and shiver over a name written in chalk on a sidewalk.
Vote Trump you Commie bastards and beeatchs!
When was/is WHITE DAY?
Don’t you know? Every day is White Day in the KKK of A according to the BLM movement.
This is what affirmative action gets you. If Emory followed Caltech’s admissions policy, you wouldn’t have this. Look at what happened at Yale and Princeton last year. This stems from affirmative action.
The next generation have turned into pathetic weaklings that can’t even Trump chalkings…Current higher education is ultimately a failure at this point. Space Spaces, triggering warning labels, and this faux diversity crapped have crippled Universities. Today’s kids are simpering pander’s.
My hope is fading for the generation who will be running things in my sunset years. Why do the students want the university to publicly parrot their opinions? This was an act of free speech at best, graffiti at worst, and one for which the university has NO responsibility and has no business responding except to address the graffiti aspect of the situation.
Prepare to fend for yourself in yoour sunset years. These whiny little pu$$ies$ certainly dont have the cajones or spine to take care of themselves without a handout, let alone YOU. Good Luck.
This sums up everything here

As a former college newspaper editor, let me tell you how embarrassed I am for The Emory Wheel and Emory Students after reading this story. You’ve inadvertently confirmed the worst stereotypes of millennials by turning a trivial incident into a big story. The real news story here is that Emory students are dumb enough to demand their university denounce a leading candidate, which would jeopardize Emory’s nonprofit status.
From all I can see, there seems to be none of the precious little cupcakes who are even able to defend their position, to defend the attack of the vapors that overtakes them when confronted with a contrary opinion. This is truly a sad state of affairs.
I’ve donated to Emory in the past, mostly to the medical department, where it might actually do some good. They called me the other day asking for a donation. After reading this article, and some opinion pieces in which both students and faculty attacked our constitutional rights, forget about it, Emory. I am not donating to you any more. The students act like cry babies and the administration enables them. I am not going to enable them.
And that’s the ONLY thing that will get the school’s administration to stop enabling this appalling behavior (see Missouri).
We have been donors too, as parents. We’ll probably keep our heads down until our daughter graduates–they’d be perfectly capable of banning our daughter from campus, which would make it hard for her to go to class–and then tell them that our contempt and disdain for the administration is equal to the contempt and disdain of the administration for free expression.
Sadly your daughters will be affected when their degree is diminished. Employers will not be fooled into hiring a special snowflake that can’t handle chalk on a sidewalk.
Democrats = fascist cowards
It is funny, these students dont protest Obama murdering Lybians or Syrians or giving cluster bombs to our allies so they can blow the hands off little children. They dont even protest Obama droning wedding parties. They must love it!
But they will turn into fat whiny babies when they see Trump’s name.
Soros funded hypocrite pigs!
Your feelings were hurt by a name and a date? Good luck with life.
We have raised an entire generation of perpetual children. Good luck in life.
Welcome to the national stage…as a national joke.
lol what a bunch of freaking babies… Man, I’m glad I finished college before it became overly PC and man-childish.
Hope the parents aren’t wasting their money on this. Let special snowflake owe these debts.
“You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!”
No. I am in pain after being subjected to this dreck. This has to be a joke, right? The only right that those of you in pain have is to voice your own political opposition to Trump. Knock yourself out. But instead you run crying to Daddy to heal your boo-boo and demand that the free political expression of others be shut down and those expressing it be sanctioned in some way. Y’all are intellectually immature with your hyper focus on feelings and complete lack of principle and academic integrity. You have no business being in college, and certainly not one like Emory.
If Emory presses charges, they should lose their 501(c)(3) status for advocating against a political campaign.
Vandalism should be the issue, not the word written. if they press charges it should be vandalism.
It was chalk on the sidewalk buddy
He’s not your buddy, guy
Yes, someone needs to grab hold of that #RockChalkInvisibleHawk
and hold them accountable for their actions.
Oops, different college, different group and politically correct privileged opinions.
My bad.
Whoosh
Right over his head.
I was but a teenager back in 1984 when I saw a Mondale/Ferraro bumper sticker. Some days are better than others, but I survived.
Mondale had some class. I would take Mrs. Ferarro over Hillary any day.
No kidding. This crowd makes you long for almost anyone who has run or held the office before.
The “trigger alert” and “space spaces” movement has arrived in Georgia, this is a disgrace to Emory University. The behavior of these undergrads and the pandering of the Admin is appalling! A University exists for learning, which requires young minds to be challenged and even subjected to viewpoints they disagree with. At least Emory law still produces some good lawyers who get that, I think they would tell you to grow up and deal with it. The undergrad program is looking really bad. This culture of cry baby “SJWs” hurts current students and alums.
FTA: ” “For the students, it’s reassuring to
see how they are able to voice out their opinions and, although it might
be safe or uncomfortable, we know that we have a community behind us…”
Only some opinions may be voiced, apparently.
What a pathetic group of whiny, over-coddled, spoiled brats. Either Emory is failing these students when teaching about the marketplace of ideas, or the students aren’t paying attention. My money is on the students not paying attention because they’re too busy complaining that no one takes them seriously.
This is coming from a Bernie supporter. I’m sorry (for you) if this is “painful.”
“While we are them!”

How do you have diversity without hearing different opinions? We are raising a generation of cry babies and cowards. I am ashamed of what our universities are teaching our youth. Put on your big boy pants and act like an adult.
So now we have some students, who hold different political ideals then those of the students mentioned here, who are now truly afraid for their academic lives. For expressing an opinion outside the accepted social standard they must hide in their dorms and pray (is that allowed?) their actions were just outside range of the camera.
Looks like the chalking may have happened without the proper approval of the school, So my question is would the school have approved such chalking if the approval was sought? Would it be unjust to deny the approval being that Trump is the (unfortunately) likely nominee of a major political party? Is it fair to label him racist? Is it fair to condemn his followers for wanting an end to illegal immigration and a check on extremist terror?
“people of color are struggling academically because they are so focused on trying to have a safe community and focus on these issues [related to having safe spaces on campus].”
Maybe they should focus more ON THEIR STUDIES, and they won’t have such a difficult time, academically.
To be fair, attempting to control the thoughts and speech of 1000’s of other students and staff to force compliance with your own viewpoints and feelings is exhausting.
No but a college can have universal, fair and NEUTRAL rules that apply to everyone. You know, that little thing called equality. Right now all they do is coddle these toddlers and think they’re creating some kind of intellectual utopia free from any deviating viewpoint. What they’re really doing is infantilizing people who SHOULD be adults and acting as such. It’s absurd!
As a Jew, I am pretty offended by the idea that “Trump 2016” is being held up the the standard of a Swastika. By the way, I saw those Swastikas, and they were drawn wrong. Trump 2016 is not “Hate Speech”. Wrongheaded maybe, but not enough to warrant the histrionics of these children.
Right. I am not a Trump supporter, but “racism” or ‘hate speech?” Ridiculous.
Most swastikas are usually found to be written by accusers or associates of. ESPECIALLY ones written backwards. Like skinheads don’t know the correct way to write it
Yes, like good old Sarah Marshak.
Triumph 2016 World Tour! Chalkings: http://pandawhale.com/post/71231/oops-false-alarm-emory-students-express-discontent-with-administrative-response-to-trump-chalkings-the-emory-wheel
People who feel threatened by chalk words… deserve to feel threatened.
People who feel threatened by chalk words… are of no use to their fellow Citizens.
People who feel threatened by chalk words… are *why* Trump is going to be President.
How do these student expect to make it in the real world if they get twitchy over something written in chalk?
They won’t.
And they expect Uncle Sam to take up their slack.
And you and I to pay for it.
Right. Alarmed over “Accept the inevitable-Trump 2016.”
Have they read the story about crying wolf?
I was hoping this was an “Onion” type article. If this is our future leaders, that is a bit “alarming.”
Not future leaders… Future lead. Baaaaa
Lunch today, going to Walmart and buying the Big Box of sidewalk chalk.
Stay tuned….
Please do. I’ll buy the chalk.
OUT:Beatles histrionic
IN: This.
Nothing new, folks, move along now, please.
Oh, and please report to us events after Trump’s victory, in such an event.
Respectfully – you don’t see a difference?
I mean – using your analogy, this isn’t like some teenagers freaking out over seeing the Beatles.
This is those teenagers running to the authorities because they felt “afraid” because someone wrote on the sidewalk that they preferred The Beach Boys.
Yeah – kids (and some adults) freak out over celebrities – but, they don’t ask for protection from people who prefer other celebrities.
Exceptional use of analogy, Dao! Spot on.
Thanks!
Good points. Sad, whichever analogy.
Poor little cupcakes, traumatized by some chaulk. Maybe the little crybabies need a safe space….
Morons
The first thing Emory University President James W. Wagner should do, is to restrict their television privileges, so they are not exposed to anything new from TV, and get scared to death by seeing a real political ad or news story about Trump. Then lock them in their rooms, and not allow them to come out unless they are escorted and wearing blinders, so they can not see any political signs or ads mentioning Trump, since they are so sensitive and will break into convulsions. In other words, I am calling BS on this whole protest.
These kids, who watch TV, see ads, are on the internet and their smart phones day and night, see much much worse, and are probably some of the most offensive offenders of uncivil political discourse (which is their right). But to try to claim injury due to “chalkings of “trump 2016” is to engage in the worst type of facist, “brown shirt” types of political censorship. What is the worst offense of this situation, is that Wagner has bought into and is supoprting this thinly veiled attempt to censor political discourse. The school should have their status as a non-profit removed.
Fifty years ago, at Yale, 10% of students earned an “A” average. Today, at Yale, 62% of students earn an “A” average.
But are the grades the same?
Outside of engineers, scientists, and physicians, and perhaps a few other fields, these kids are not getting an education, but an indoctrination.
Any “Social Justice” major (Victim Identity Studies) that shows up on a resume warns an employer not to hire them.
These kids are looking at careers as low-level government employees or adjunct professors earning peanuts. They will teach one another how not to adapt or think critically as they whine about how tough life is.
Chains Caleb…..they’ve been shackled mentally, emotionally and I suppose physically, by chalk.
80% of the engineers and computer science majors cheat their way through their programs anyhow. I know, as I teach them and have to interview them. Urk.
“Okay, it’s just a guy who wants to write whatever he wants to believe in for his political campaign. I’m fine with that…to a certain extent.” Really? How GENEROUS of you to be “fine” with the First Amendment “to a certain extent.” Unbelievable. Where do these children (because that’s what their behavior makes them) get the impression that they have a “right” to live in a bubble where the only speech tolerated is that speech with which they agree? I have some veteran friends who I’m sure would be glad to speak with any of these students one-on-one about what it truly means to feel “unsafe.”
Definitely not Citadel material. Heck, back in the day 1970’s even GA Tech used to nearly drown students in a mandatory PE class in order to get the degree.
Tough titty kiddy.
Some people used to have to be concerned with the draft and being sent to fight in Vietnam when they were in college.
How many recent veterans do you think are enrolled at Emory now?
Not much sympathy to be found here in the comments.
here ya go
These kids are really sad. The world is going to eat them alive when they get out of their “safe space”.
What makes you think they’ll leave? They’ll roll around academia for years, collecting useless, expensive degrees in Black Women’s Cultural Environmental studies, until they fail into teaching careers
Good lord I’ve never heard of such useless crybabies in my entire life. Your completely irrational feelings do not negate someone else’s right to promote a running candidate who they want to elect. Just like theirs don’t yours. If you’re THAT traumatized by words I suggest you don’t need Sociology 101, but some major therapy.
Now you know how Conservervatives feel. Liberals riot, scream attack anyone who disagreess. You see a few words and your safe space has been violated. Put leeeze. Baby.
The response from the university leadership is what scares me most of all. There should have been no response, because no crime was committed. Fascists.
I feel unsafe.
I’m so embarrassed for Emory. After all, they are the ones who admitted these kids to college.
Fascists don’t always wear brown-shirts. Sometimes they wear horned rimmed glasses, beanie, scarf, skinny jeans and a cardigan.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. I’ll settle for openly mock: Awww…. did de wittle chalk hurt your feewings? You’re at a UNIVERSITY. Grow a pair or go back to hiding under mommy’s skirt.
slow newsday such that this laughable group of chicken littles actually makes for a topic of discussion, lol. in the spirit of liberal sensitivities….does emory keep a supply of extra pampers on campus? looks like they’re gonna need ’em
Their “protest” isn’t newsworthy, the absurd reaction of the Emory Administration is.
I completely agree with you, this is not news it is a joke and a total waste of time.
Simon is now in hiding and could not be reached for comment….
ROFLMAO. Suffering academically because they’re afraid of chalk.
and to think I used to send my preschool daughter out to play armed with…….hold on, this is gonna get scary……..a damned bucket full of……..you guessed it……..multi-colored chalk!!!
Oh the humanity!
What makes it worse is that I actually took photos of some of her work and saved them on my computer.
You small-minded, evil, creature you!
If some of these students go on to be social workers, those chalk photographs could be used as evidence against you.
President Wagner is the biggest p word of them all by kowtowing to these pencil-necked jellybeans’ demands for “justice” over someone, probably one of THEM, writing TRUMP 2016 in chalk on a freakin’ sidewalk. It’s admin dipshits like him who allow this nonsense to manifest further.
This is the result you get from awarding everyone a trophy and a juice box for 20 years of their lives.
Grow up, little snowflakes.
Total lack of leadership…here’s what a university president should look like:
http://dailycaller.com/2016/03/21/mitch-daniels-americas-vice-president/
Oh my God. This is real? I heard about this and totally thought it was a parody. Oh my God. Children today. Oh. My. God.
I think we need to all go to Emory campus and write in chalk… might cause a few folks to have a heart attack.
Congratulation, Emory SGA! You have officially made your institution the national laughing stock. “Trump 2016″ in chalk=”an incident” that needs to be addressed/denounced. And congrats, President Wagner, for giving into their demands. This is how institutions of higher education become increasingly insular and disconnected from reality.
The technical term, if I understand and based on the headline above, is a Trump “Chalking”…….I don’t know how many of you good people have been subjected to a “Chalking”, Trump or otherwise, but the effect is devastating to the psyche…….at least for those lacking any measure of intestinal fortitude.
Every single one of these students should either be expelled for violating the “spirit of inclusion and diversity” that Emory stands for or be required to attend a program on diversity and tolerance.
Liberals are just a bit insane.
Trust me, these kids don’t represent most liberals….. These are insecure children who clearly haven’t taken their American Government 101 class yet.
Who do you think taught them in American Government 101?
I am convinced that not all liberals are at this level of insanity, and they represent the new generation of liberals.
I cannot believe that this is being called an incident. I am from Philadelphia, where I attended High School in North Philadelphia on 15th and Mount Vernon Streets. Now I am a small white female and this is a very bad neighborhood in North Philly. Honestly I never felt unsafe and the lack of diversity inside of the building never affected my grades.
I just want to understand this protest. The students who are in fear are entitled to Freedom of Speech but the chalk writers are not??
I loathe Trump from the bottom of my soul. I also loathe these students. If there’s a technical violation in how the messages were posted, fine. But any attempt to shut down speech relating to a political candidate is just about as contrary to American values as Trump is.
I want to beat the crap out of everyone of those “special snowflakes”.
OMG. Do you kiddies need to go to your safe spaces with your binkies and your blankies? GROW UP!!!!!
http://youtu.be/sXQkXXBqj_U
Love it!
You PC bro?!
What delicate little snowflakes; afraid of freedom of political speech. What part of the constitution did you little liberal dilettants not understand? They are only interested in diversity of thought when the spectrum of opinions is restricted to those they agree with. Worse, the administration’s response to it is one of the best example of bureaucratic institution bovine scat that I have ever heard.
Hear! Hear! “Worse, the administration’s response to it is one of the best example of bureaucratic institution bovine scat that I have ever heard.”
“I’m supposed to feel comfortable and safe [here],” one student said.
No, you aren’t, you are supposed to be challenged at college, to expand your horizons, to learn tolerance and respect for all view points, and to learn the tools of dialogue and debate that will enable you to critically examine not just your own feelings and beliefs, but those of others, without feeling threatened, hostile, enraged, or outraged. If you want someplace safe, there are institutions of mental health that would be happy to help you. Otherwise, your parents are wasting their (or the taxpayers) money sending you to a fine university if you insist on spending the entire time hiding in your hug box. And shame on the administration that continues to cater to these emotional, immature brats.
Well said, Mike.
My feelings exactly. You say it with exceptional clarity. Thank you.
Progressive-ism is a mental disorder.
I feel so sorry for the Onion.
“Trump 2016”
BOOGAH BOOGAH!
Mental illness is never pretty.
“BOOGAH, BOOGAH” is of course “racist” no doubt you just “triggered” someone with “African” ancestry. Actually the snowflake you caused “emotional distress” is probably someone “White” who had family that was being chased by Obama’s cannibal ancestors like “Uncle George” in the Little Rascals/Our Gang series.
Eat ’em up! Yum! Yum! Eat ’em up!
.
Vote Trump!
Whether you’re pro- or anti-Trump, neutral or don’t care, those students literally are the most ridiculously pathetic group of wimpy, weak-minded Americans I have seen thus far in 2016.
I’ve never imagined a more uneducated, easily manipulated group of people. It’s so damn laughable.
I’m an Emory graduate. At first, I laughed and then I read the email sent out from President Wagner. Thirty or forty kids are dictating Emory policy (according to The Wheel, he first refused to send out a community wide email to “decry” the chalk postings). Emory is out of my will as soon as I can get to a lawyer. Embarrassing!
lol… the fools. Why didn’t they protest when Obama bombed Africans in Libya, Somalia, Ethiopia, and Sudan? Or when he assassinated a 16 year old American citizen born and raised in Denver? Or how about the hospital full of children? Why aren’t they concerned about the refugee crisis started by Obama bombing Syria? And yes, Bush was an idiot.
Pools of safety? Be careful you don’t drown in your safe space.
notice there were no white pools of safety?
I’ve been around Emory quite a lot while living in Georgia. I know it’s surrounded by liberal crybabies but geeze, those people have really gone off the deep end. They’re afraid of a few words written on a wall???
The need a new college class in universities….
“Growing a Brass Pair to Survive in Life”
A porcelain pair would be an upgrade
what a bunch of losers!
I remember when college campuses valued freedom of speech. I hate to break it to you kids but there isn’t a safe space in life and believe it or not, you will have to deal with people who are much different than you when you enter the workforce.
Cretins.
So the little snowflake cry bullies will consider any Hillary or Bernie messages to be a hate crime too? (Totally doubtful as the cry bullies always are hypocrits with double standards) At least Trump has not been the cause of any US deaths and then lied about it.
“cry bullies” Ha! I love it!! Many of them are. Have you heard about the anti-Trump protester who attacked a police horse? It’s awful, those horses are gentle. She abused an animal trying to incite him (his name is Dan) into violence.
She lied and said she was trying to calm him down … thankfully, a photographer got pictures of her clearly aggressively going after the peaceful horse.
http://www.news.com.au/finance/work/leaders/woman-who-assaulted-police-horse-at-donald-trump-protest-caught/news-story/0c8c0de3344f33ca9173d75983ee2a6f
I hope they prosecute her for animal cruelty and that her name and picture with the crime are spread across the Internet. She is pure evil abusing an animal then trying to lie about it for political gain. No doubt she is a progressive Democrat with her acting like that and then lying.
“Cry Bullies”… perfect! Thank you!
“We are in pain”…..hahahahahahahahahahahaha, wow.
I hate Trump and I’m for from a right winger, but good god quit being such wusses.
Grow up, kids. The real world doesn’t give a damn what you think and won’t protect you from things you imagine are offensive.
You should be embarrassed of yourselves.
What a hoot. Not to worry, kids, the chalk won’t hurt you. I promise.
But just in case, you might consider going to your Safe Space, where there are milk and cookies and Play Doh, and videos of puppies.
What is wrong with you kids?
Take down their names so you never make the mistake of hiring one of these tards after they graduate.
Not worth the effort. Just don’t hire anyone graduating from Emory. At all. There’s 4000 2- and 4-year schools in the U.S. Just eliminate the $60,000/year day care centers.
My daughter is a math and poli sci combined major at Emory, ready to work (in fact she has a job lined up) and very smart. I guarantee you she’ll outperform all the associate’s degree holders you can find, and 99% of the four year grads too. She’s not a Trump supporter–I think Kasich is more her speed–but she thinks these crybullies, and the administration that uses them as cover for its own censorship agenda, are contemptible.
A “Math Major” and she still CAN’T “add”? The numbers show John SonOfABitch’s (Kasich’s) chance of winning the nomination is a “mathematical” impossibility therefore I wouldn’t hire your daughter to count the change in my pocket.
btw: How much did you spend on that obviously worthless degree?
Vote Trump!
People vote for belief and ideal. They may all vote for GOP in November, but not necessarily for Trump. Never undermine the establishment, in the long term they have far more resources and experiences.
Well Im sure glad my forefathers undermined King George, Ill take my chances undermining what we call the establishment especially ones that want to ban sodas =)
Bloom-BOIG? You’re a Michael “I Want To Ban ALL Firearms” Bloom-BOIG supporter? If so then you NOT a “conservative” nor a “real” American.
Vote Trump!
Trump is actually pretty liberal except on the immigration issues, if you examine his claims closely. He advocates big government, he seems progressive in many social values, etc. It is certain that Trump’s supports and Sanders’ overlap a lot. I do appreciate that Mr. Trump serves as a massager of the previously neglected working class, forcing the establishment politicians to face their past mistakes and negligences; unfortunately there are many. Still, I wonder how much Trump truly believe his very own words.
Git a grip, Francis. I don’t know whether to continue laughing or pause long enough to weep for the future of mankind.
I don’t see any identifiable white men in the first picture. That’s because we’re all voting for Trump. If white men united, we could take control of this country and literally do anything we wanted. Trump can make that happen for us, guys. We need to support him. Trump 2016 and Eternal God-Emperor thereafter.
How will the Special Snowflakes make it in the real world.
If you cant handle Trump 2016 you better stay in your moms basement.
So some writing with chaulk upsets you? How does it feel to be so weak, that mere words cause you pain and grief. You constantly offended and scared little snowflakes are an embarrassment.
Get a grip, Francis. I don’t know whether to continue laughing or pause long enough to weep for the future of mankind.
“remain unapologetically dedicated to inclusion, diversity and equity,”
They are dedicated to inclusion unless that means including people who disagree profoundly with them. They are dedicated to diversity – except for diversity of thought, which in point of fact is the kind of diversity that universities exist to provide and protect. They are dedicated to equity – unless someone thinks they should have an equal right to express conservative thought.
Then they will experience emotional overload and demand that they be protected by the University from having anything like that happen, even if it means using the power of the authorities to suppress other students’ First Amendment rights. Because those students and their right to express themselves is not to be extended equity.
Hypocrites.
So great article in Scientific American about Emory’s Dietrich Stout’s research, then I read about this absurdity. One “chalking” is probably ok, but calling Trump inevitable causes tears. Good grief kids.
I can’t decide whether to laugh or cry. These kids have ZERO clue about real fascism or threats, and this Generation Snowflake nonsense is intellectually dishonest as well as utterly ridiculous.
How about you suck it up and deal with it. First amendment, get over it.
Sadly far to many college kids are against the 1st amendment. They feel they have a right to only hear what they want to hear and everything else is hate speech.
Yes, it seems they have a case of SH going around lately . Selective Hearing .
Unfortunately, that seems increasingly true.
“The Chalking” Really? “the chalking?” I can’t get over it, it is so sad, and funny at the same time.
First World Problems.
Please tell me this is satire.
“’How can you not [disavow Trump] when Trump’s platform and his values undermine Emory’s values that I believe are diversity and inclusivity when they are obviously not [something that Trump supports]’ one student said tearfully. ‘Banning Muslims? How is that something Emory supports?’ asked yet another.”
Emory University explicitly should NOT take a position on Trump – or Cruz, or Clinton or Sanders. It’s position should be to make sure that everyone at Emory University is free to express their viewpoints and opinions, regardless of whether everyone or no one at the University agrees with it. Furthermore, it is the University’s job to ensure that no one interferes with anyone else making such an expression. It is supposed to provide an environment that ensures that ideas stand and fall on their own merits as expressed by the people presenting them and as judged by the people hearing them, without any preference shown for any of the viewpoints by the University itself.
“I’m supposed to feel comfortable and safe [here],” one student said.
The school should provide what physical security is normal for a college campus. Like any adult, however, you are in the end responsible for taking care of yourself and to take such precautions as are generally necessary. If you want to be treated like an adult, act like one.
“But this man is being supported by students on our campus and our administration shows that they, by their silence, support it as well”
False logic. Absence of condemnation of a particular viewpoint does not equal approval of that viewpoint. And as an academic institution the University should NEVER express approval or dissapproval of any viewpoint in public debate (although it should comply with all non-discrimination laws when hiring, admitting students, etc.).
“‘ … I don’t deserve to feel afraid at my school,’ she added.”
If encountering a viewpoint that you disagree with emphatically makes you feel afraid, then yes – yes, you do deserve to feel afraid. I suggest you seek professional counseling to overcome this phobia.
Again – if you want to be treated as an adult, act like one.
My sentiments exactly … voiced perfectly. Thanks you, Ronwf.
Much more diplomatic than my way of saying things.
Very calming to read.
Thank you.
Wow… just wow! Who in their right mind would hire one of these special snowflakes from Emory. You have just devalued the degree from Emory to zero. Good luck with that barista job at Starbucks.
I wouldn’t hire them to change Hillary’s adult diaper, they would be “triggered”.
Vote Trump!
Anyone would be devastated by that tho
When I receive resumes from these snowflakes, they get the briefest of courtesy evaluations and go straight into the “no” pile, even it means the position remains open longer than desired. They are not worth the headache.
Thank you snowflakes of Emory University, you have convinced me to vote Trump!
A Pro-Trump chalk drawing? In this day and age of people getting blown to bits, you are afraid of a chalk-written sentiment?
Oh my, how fragile a creature is an Emory student! What will you poor little snowflakes do when you have to leave your special happy place and enter the mean old world where you will actually be expected to… oh the horror….produce something. And while surrounded by all these mean people at the same time.
Grow up you little pansies. You don’t need a safe space, you need a spanking.
Now I am just a small time country lawyer, but I do declare that these kids are idiots.
What is wrong with these student ? It’s written in chalk !! Not buildings tagged with spray paint. These are people of College age. An age old enough to not be whining about a damn ‘chalk drawing’. They sound like they are in Kindergarten , for crying out loud. The kids today are the strangest generation ever. Spoiled brats . Period. Go protest over something that should be protested about ! Not a damn chalk drawing .
Could you imagine what would happened if they saw a confederate flag? They might never again be able to go out in public.
And did you READ the rules for “chalking”?!? OMG. That’s some REAL outlaw bizniss there, baby!
Is Emory going to expel students who support Trump because they wrote something in chalk? Seriously?
Yes it was clearly a hate crime
no, and no
It sounds like that’s where it’s headed.
what makes it “sound like” that specifically?
“Mr. Wagner also told protesters the university would review footage from security cameras to identify who made the chalkings. If the offenders are found to be students, he said, they will be disciplined through the conduct violation process.”
right, because the chalkings are considered graffiti under university policy
I’d like to see the handbook in regards to that. And if that’s the case, Emory graduates should not be considered for employment in the future.
read the article. But I’m curious: why are graduates of Emory responsible for policies set by University Administrators?
“The problem with swallowing that malarkey is that mere chalking has never prompted security camera footage examinations or presidential concern before. This is about condemning and squelching mainstream political speech that the prevailing majority of the campus doesn’t like. This wasn’t swastikas or “hate speech.” “Trump 2016” at Emory is no different from “LBJ 1968” at Berkeley.”
how do you know its “never” happened before? please be specific
When has this “crack down on chalking” been enforced before these horrified weenies protested? Never. So these students (and their supporters such as yourself) are responsible for the laughing stock Emory has become. I’ve seen numerous posts about alum pulling out on their donation pledges and employers swearing they will not hire an Emory grad anytime soon. Look at what’s happened to Missouri. If I was graduating from Emory anytime soon I would be pissed at these losers. You should distance yourself….
is that a rhetorical question or do you have the answer? please be specific
can you prove “never”?
got proof of “never”?
“handbook”? its in the article
call me up!
The person-of-indeterminate-gender in the photo at the top of this article looks like an extra from Portlandia. What a shock.
If you don’t feel safe and comfortable because someone wrote “Trump” in chalk on the ground, you’re in deep trouble once you graduate.
seems to me they are scared that Trump will win
So are a lot of people. But they don’t freak out when they see his name.
hey its a free country right?
Not if these bootlickers get any political power …
how so? indulge your paranoid fantasy and describe the end result 30, 40 years from now
I will be watching you hang.
hilarious – you mad bro?
Not at all. This is going to be fun.
why? what do you think they will do specifically with “power”?
like what – get elected to senate?
You didn’t go to college …
We’ve raised a generation of helpless, brainless fools, afraid of their own shadows. My god this country’s in trouble.
hilarious- you conflate “an entire generation” with a handful of kids at one school? calm. down.
Is “conflate” your word of the day?
nope. its “sanctimonious”
This attitude is not just a handful of kids at one school I appears to be the prevailing attitude among millennials who cannot cope with reality.
“appears to be” how? how can you claim to be able to reasonably extrapolate the fears of an entire generation from one story in one college newspaper?
Unfortunately, this attitude is the prevailing attitude amongst millennials today and is certainly not limited to one story from one school.. Very sad for the future of our country.
my question still stands unanswered. Seems to me you’re making a declarative statement about a “prevailing attitude” of an entire generation based only on your own opinion and your own anecdotal evidence
I’m not going to take the time to list all of the schools where these snowflakes have protested because they’re “afraid” of other viewpoints. The very idea makes me think that these so-called “schools” are doing more harm than if the kids never learned to read (those that actually have learned to read, I mean).
“harm”? if you’re going to claim damages you have to be specific about whats been damaged.
how is this the schools fault? please be specific. provide evidence
The schools decide what the students hear, who they see, and what ideas they are exposed to (few, very few). They indulge them in their self-coddling by even listening to ludicrous complaints like these, never mind actually taking them seriously and acting upon them.
hilarious- you STILL conflate “an entire generation” with a handful of kids from one school? calm. down. buddy.
so you can’t “take the time” to back up your bullshit, but you DO have the time to whine and moan – got it!
While some millennials have real things to worry about like whether or not a loved one is coming home from his trip to Brussels, other millennials have invented problems so they can seize that illusive “moral superiority” throne again….
HAHAHAHAH this is so stupid…..
I go to Emory, and the truth is that no one really cared about trump chalkings, until
these 40 Extreme-left students decided to make it a big deal.
Trump is just a republican candidate and there is nothing wrong supporting him..
if these chalkings make you feel unsafe,
you might as well as just drop out of emory, and stay at your safe home for the rest of your life
HAHAHAHAHAH
My generation fought for free speech on campuses. We never thought that 50 years later a new generation would be fighting against it. These protesters have been coddled all their lives and constantly told they are special. They were raised in environments without risk or challenges. Now the slightest affront to their delicate sensibilities throws them into a panic. Are we becoming a nation of wimps?
I’m afraid so. Scary, isn’t it?
they are not “fighting against it”
PVSSY
As someone who’s vehemently anti-Drumpf…wow, you Emory kids are giant babies. Safe spaces aren’t real, you idiots.
by “you” do you mean “you few”?
To the students and administration of Emory College that sanctioned and supported this craptastic subversion of freedom of speech and butthurt… Shame on you.
but there IS no “subversion of freedom of speech”.
How is there not?
because no free speech is being subverted?
If you can’t see how these screaming campus garbage babies are subverting freedom of speech and expression by bullying and the heckler’s veto, you’re beyond help. And likely part of the problem.
thanks for sharing your unsubstantiated opinion
You should go find your safe space now… anything I might say going forward might require “trigger warnings” for you.
no idea what you are talking about – should I?
thanks again
What’s a “safe space”? Is it the closet where you clutch guns and bibles while cowering from the “fear”?
LOL! Stupid simpering troll comes back, 4 months later, with more screaming campus garbage baby junk.
By the way, what do I have to be afraid of, garbage baby? I’ve got guns, remember?
Why didn’t the students simply wash away the chalk with water? Surely they have bottles of water or a hose nearby. Or is that too much physical activity and you might break a sweat?
Because then they wouldn’t be able to demand attention by throwing a temper tantrum.
What a bunch of pathetic little sissies. This is our future??? Now I’m afraid. Please someone hug me. Waaaaa waaaaaa
no. its a few kids at one school. hardly “out future”
Disagreeable words mean hateful attack? You folks really are pantywaists aren’t you? Was that sexist? Run to your safe space!
well threatening to “ban all Muslins” is a “hateful attack” dont you think?
Given the realities of the day, I think it makes a lot of sense, snowflake.
regardless of your personal opinion certainly you can understand how a Muslim student might be upset by it
Does the Muslim student understand why such statements are made?
you’d have to ask the student
is that a rhetorical question?
He proposed a moratorium on immigration until we can set up better security to keep radicals out. Sounds great to me. If that’s a trigger, you can always run to your Safe Space.
he didn’t propose a ban on ALL immigration, just on people who worship a different god then him
Well, now, that’s one way of looking at it – isn’t it?
yes and it happens to be “the” way he chose.
And he COMPLETELY ignored all those Christian refugees blowing up airports and shooting up San Bernardino and Paris.
not familiar with those events. Dates/names/location?
I’m not familiar with those events, either. As far as terror in the name of religion goes, shooting up innocents and bombing things primarily are Muslim pastimes. That’s why a moratorium was proposed. Get it yet? …Einstein?
Oh, dearie me!
what “better security”?
What a bunch of retards…. I hope this goes viral so the world can see how stupid you are; you bunch of imbeciles. Welcome to the real world – grow up you fools.
believe me, the world already knows about american imbeciles. you cant turn around without seeing that orangoutang with a dead bleached squirrel on top of his bald head
The correct spelling is orangutan. Did you not learn that in school?
nope. I did not learn how to spell orangutan in school .
I will admit though that your description did crack me up! Not kidding; I chuckled on that one……..that was a good one.
well there you go – another day in the USA
forgive me for typing quickly and trusting autocorrect to watch my back. my sincere and deepest apologies
I’m tempted to hop the bus over to the campus and slap the snot out of each and every one of these people.
beat up some college kids for expressing their opinions- how American of you!
It was a figure of speech, you big weenie.
not sure how that makes it better
Pretty sure “big” and “weenie” is an oxymoron when chatting up ol’ Starchy.
Every one of these babies needs a beating and to walk a patrol in Afghanistan.
you sound smart
Go back to your safe space. Im sure my comment frightened you.
the fact that you are “sure” about something so banal is whats frightening
My hypothesis was just proven.
yet it wasn’t. (now what?)
You can have the last word as worthless as yours is
lemme guess: you’re right and I’m wrong !
awesome. thanks!
nah – it’s all yours!
where? please be specific
22 days ago. Statute of Limitations.
You do realize that the vast vast majority of the country is laughing at this thinking that its actually an Onion article
You’re not going to stop Trump. Why? Because Trump is not hate. Trump is American, and for the United States Constitution, in which is the freedom of speech! You want to stop that! Then you have a lot to fear! Your American intolerant, you hate America! Or you’re listening to lies from those that are American intolerant, and hate America.
sure we will! we’ll stop him at the ballot box as is our right.
now calm down and get some perspective. NO ONE is trying to “stop free speech”
Yes, your “few” students are doing exactly that.
how? please be specific
This story is both entertaining yet so terribly disturbing.
its meaningless and trivial, yet RWNJ media cant help themselves conflating it with the end of our society
But apparently the name “Trump” written in chalk means the sky is falling.
no, it apparently a few kids got upset and expressed themselves.
That’s the point, Einstein, theygot upset over WORDS. How does it feel to be so weak that mere words cause you them pain? I wouldn’t have the faintest idea.
so what? is it not their right to get upset over “words” and what those words (actually name) stands for?
Sure. They have the right to be sissies, and We The People have a right to mock the heck out of their crybaby butts. Get over it.
NO one is saying you dont “have the right” to mock them. I’m just curious why you care when it doesn’t effect you in any way whatsoever.
It annoys me that these pusstards will use resources I could use.
Like what?
Your mom, for one.
“get over it”? YOU”RE the one whining about it not me.
We can just kill them. No loss, they are twats.
go for it! “I’ll see you hang”.
You won’t see a thing when The Revolution takes you.
“Get over it” from the guy whining about it! priceless
Your mom whines.
Students are claiming that the word ‘Trump’ written in chalk necessitates attention for their pain and fear…
And in response, you make the unsubstantiated claim that some subset of right leaning folks are overreacting.
Ample evidence why your post count outnumbers your upvote count.
I think EVERYBODY is overreacting, students included.
but you cant deny that this insignificant meaningless story is being circulated on every single RWNJ site on the internet
This ‘insignificant meaningless’ story is also showing up on these sites:
New York Magazine
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/03/emory-u-to-track-down-trump-supporting-chalkers.html

So there’s that.
of course. its the nature of the beast
These children are meaningless and trivial … pure dross.
wait… you’re saying as HUMAN BEINGS and FELLOW CITIZENS they are “meaningless and trivial”?
Yes. They can die in a fire for all I care.
…. to you.
To people that matter. They are worthless pieces of trash, valued by irrelevant pieces of trash. When the blessed Revolution finally happens, we will burn off the dross. I can’t wait.
yet here you are!
Urinating on them.
Bunch of brats
see above
WHAT A BUNCH OF POOSIES!!!!
by “bunch” you mean “small percentage of total student body”?
Interesting. You are absolutely SPAMMING the boards with your witty* ripostes and retorts. You one of the snowflakes who wet her knickers after seeing the name TRUMP written on the ground? Or did you finally get on the Media Matters payroll?
*Haha. Not really.
stop whining
No Im sure he was being a racist. LOL He looks like a white male after all.
how are you “sure”? please be specific
Bernie needs to start handing out kleenex and pampers at his rallies.
Seriously? Employment Recruiters – No need to look here.
why? its only a few students, not the whole school
The school isn’t telling them to shut up, as it should.
why should the school restrict their free speech?
It does not have to restrict anything thats our point get it. It doesn’t have to placate either.
but nothing is being restricted. so not sure what “your” point actually is
yet your’e demanding they students free speech be supressed
“Doesn’t have to” – hilarious. How is your opinion relevant?
The administration is coddling the “few” as you claim. The whole thing is making the school look ridiculous.
so what? my point is its just a few kids
Then the other students, the ones who want jobs in a couple years, need to demand their own voices be heard and denounce these silly twits.
what does “jobs” have to do with any of this?
I won’t hire any person from Emory, period. Nobody wants a sissified hipster pussface working for them.
how do other students figure into this?
call em up! I’m sure those students are gonna be interested in your opinion
Gargle my balls, son. I have lots to offer.
Vote Trump 2016 and Make America Great Again!
when did it stop being great?
Have you seen Detroit lately? Look at pics from 80 years ago, and then now. Baltimore? New Orleans? Buffalo?
Half the country is turning into a third world cesspool.
yes, yes, yes, no.
now whats you specific point?
You must be an Emory student – jbwilson point was clear. Would you like me to draw you a picture, with little numbered dots and lines connecting them?
Your point, presumably, has something to do with black people and how awful you believe them to be. I’m guessing that’s it, anyway, given your other comment up-thread about the country being better 150 years ago.
thats probably a safe assumption
wow you read racist into that? That is the problem in this country. If you open your mouth someone calls you a racist.
You must’ve missed his earlier post, wherein he said the last time America was great was 150 years ago.
If you look at his comment history – which, to his credit, he hasn’t hidden like so many cowards do – he’s also a slavery apologist.
nope. now whats YOUR point?
About 150 years ago
It stopped being great about the same time that we decided that subsidizing non-work was a great idea.
when did we do that?
When did we change from being tolerant to “Don’t offend me! ! !” If this is the type of intolerant, narcissistic students that Universities are producing, it is time to close their doors. These children will be worthless and dangerous employees.
well its not ALL the students, its just a handful. and they are just expressing THEIR thoughts as well. whats the big deal?
its unAmerican and maybe the most weenie thing I have ever read.
how is expressing yourself “unamerican”?
who cares what you think? FACT is they are expressing their opinion and your opinion of THEIR opinion has no relevance
Sweet snowflakes. 18 year olds stormed the beaches of Normandy and died by the hundreds so these useful idiots could express their pain AT WORDS. These folks are purely despicable and any university that suppresses free speech is the point of the spear aimed at the heart of democracy.
but the university is not “suppressing free speech”. so what are you really angry about?
Sure they are. What would a Trump bumper sticker do to you all?
how is the university “suppressing free speech”?
as for “you all”- wtf?
As a private university they can put the “chalkers” through the University’s Star Chamber. It is a sad precedent, but they can do it. As an illustration of what can be done in an actual public space, it is not a good precedent. As a model for a University, placing a chalk endorsement of a candidate is a fine example of free speech. Are you suggesting that it is not? As for what I am angry about, I am offended by the attempt by these self righteous twits to erect boundaries around what they consider to be “good speech” and then ban all else.
“star chamber”? and its not a “public space” its private property.
regardless, its against the constitution to limit speech or expression based on content, but not against the constitution to limit it based on location, size or means.
and I dont see where these kids are demanding to ban anything
Vote Trump 2016 to build the wall and Make America Great Again!
Freaking millenials – get off my lawn
Unless the chalk was created from the bones of virgins and tinted with the blood of priests, I have a really hard time comprehending how two words, a name and a date referencing a political candidate, written in chalk, equate with being unsafe or as cause for alarm. How an implicit threat was perceived is more of a statement about the utterly nonsensical fragility of the children, and I do mean children, attending these institutions than anything else. These children have aged seeking calm servitude instead of tumultuous liberty. Fear for the future of this country.
“equate with being unsafe or as cause for alarm.” – my guess is you are not a member of the religion or nationality that Trump wants to round up and/or deport.
face it- Trumps candidacy is (mostly) based on fomenting fear and anger.
NO ONE should be surprised when it occasionally makes people angry or afraid.
Wrong. Even if I accept what you say about Trump, anyone who is frightened by the existing of differing opinions is maladjusted and incapable of succeeding in the real world.
my guess is they are frightened by the actual things Trump actually says.
And if he is elected Trumps opinions suddenly become very relevant
As they should people in America want borders enforced period.
but the borders ARE enforced exclamation mark
borders are already enforced period.
they are enforced period
jbwilson24 you are right. These young adults (and I use the term loosely; are as you say maladjusted, and the few adults in their world are brainwashing and indoctrinating them so that when they are finally on their own; they will not be able to succeed.
hilarious – you read third hand accounts of a few kids, pass judgement on them and feel comfortable predicting their future
Trump wants to deport only those here illegally. For Emory students, illegally means they broke the laws of this sovereign nation coming in.
I am going to hazard a guess that you received many trophies and ribbons as a kid for just showing up and being mediocre.
but you understand some of those kids, or their friends and family ARE here illegally. if that was you wouldnt you be afraid?
Then they should be deported, Einstein, they broke the law. No one to blame for that but themselves – certainly not Trump. Maybe you could go watch some movie about puppies, or that 1970’2 Coca-Cola commercial where everyone is holding hands on a sunny hillside, voices lifted in song in human solidarity, with blue skies, billowy clouds, and wonderful Disney backdrops appearing. Oh, and that was a commercial, NOT a blueprint.
Now go play with some dolls or something
I understand thats your opinion. my POINT was certainly you can understand how and why these kids WOULD be afraid., but maybe I was giving you too much credit.
I understand that criminals are afraid of getting caught, but that does not absolve them from consequence. The American people are having their sovereignty stolen and are the victims.
I wasn’t talking about the “consequences”. I was talking about compassion and understanding of what and why they are afraid.
I have zero compassion for those who steal my tax dollars and then call me a racist for even noticing.
how are they “stealing your tax dollars” exactyly?
who is “stealing your tax dollars” ?
who is calling you a racist?
how are they “stealing your tax dollars”?
Emory University receives over one half-billion dollars in federal funds yearly. That’s about $18 from every man, woman, and child in the USA—just to Emory. Maybe you don’t realize that money doesn’t come from the government—it comes from tax-paying workers like me after the government takes its own cut.
I never approved of this funding. And I’ll go to jail if I don’t pay my taxes. So that’s theft under threat of imprisonment.
who are the “criminals” in this scenario?
“Sovereignty stolen” how?
Did you go to Emory too?
No, but what difference would that make?
NO I Would have not broken the law. Are we suppose to feel bad for a thief because they are worried about getting caught?
who is talking about theft?
who is the “thief” in this scenario ?
So his name in chalk “makes people angry or afraid”?
I don’t care for Trump in the least but you’re giving him waaaayyy too much power here. And looking like complete idiots.
hey its how these kids feel. cant deny them their right to express themselves
Yet they seek to deny others the same right. Hypocrite much?
but they are not seeking to do any such thing
Yes they are.
no they are not (now what?)
And everyone posting on here has the right to call this whole scenario absurd.
of course! it is absurd
I think you know, deep down, this is an embarrassing over-reaction by some hysterical, immature, over-privileged little brats.
of course its an over-reaction. my point is so what? what actual difference does it make in anyones lives?. If this story had not been picked up by media no one would know about it because it’s meaningless
If you really think this is “meaningless” and not indicative of a real problem then you’re beyond hope.
how profound! you assume the position of being right without the burden of actual evidence. neat trick that
thats called a “false dichotomy”, one of the more popular logical fallacies
nice rant now where is the ACTUAL HARM?
I think you know that I dont care what you think I know.
I think you know it’s meaningless bullshit that you choose to whine about
Emphathize kids,cause they’re not even close to being adults.
No but for some reason they think they should be able to ban other peoples free speech. And force the university to take a political stand against enforcing our nations border laws? This is nuts. When this country is brought to a civil war because leftists want to ban free speech there will be no safe spaces anywhere.
but they don’t think they should be able to ban free speech .
BTW: do you know “feee speech” ONLY means the US Government can’t pass laws that limits content of expression right?
as an example it does not apply to the workplace. did you know that?
they arent talking about “banning” anything
Oh it’s all an act. These students are pathetically disgusting
Suck it up buttercup
I see. So, if I am made angry or afraid of something I should expect the institution to ban it. You might want to diagram the logic flow on that one.
but nobody is talking about banning anything
Sure sounds like at least some of these students want it stopped.
guess we’ll have to watch it play out
is that your opinion or is that a false equivalency ?
Are you in the US legally? Then you’re OK, bub. I’m worried about Clinton I don’t want to be assaulted by serial sexual predator Bill.
yep. born and raised in Texas
So your country is Texas.
I dont think you’d have any problems there. Bill is up in years and doesnt get around very well
Let me guess,another whiney a$$ liberal?
If they are illegal they have broken the law and need to be deported. There are a lot of immigrants that went through the system and did everything according to the law. I welcome them. Why should illegals not be held to that same standard. Why are they more special than those who do it by the law. No they do not deserve special treatment because they walked across our border that a spineless president refuses to protect. We as taxpayers should not be forced to support those who have already broken the law and expect entitlement. Call it hate speech if you want but I call it standing up for my rights as a citizen of this country. Illegals should never come before a country’s on citizens.
I’m not suggesting or saying anything like that. I’m only trying to understand the why and the how
I am no fan of Trump (nor of any of the potential candidates), but I am even less a fan of the current wave of tender little dandy-lions who quake with fear at the slightest offence.
Unless you plan on living your entire life in the fetal position, whimpering in a corner, you better toughen up. Words’ only power is in what you give them. Someone says something rude? Recognize they are an a**h**e and get on with your life. Give in and they win. As long as you give the random sounds we call words power over you, you will be powerless. The real world is still quite Darwinian. The weak still get eaten. Training these children, encouraging these children to celebrate their weakness is not doing them any favors.
To be clear, if someone actually makes a credible threat and the person on the receiving end is unable, or even if they honestly adhere to a pacifist philosophy and are unwilling, to defend themselves, then I have no issue with them making some noise to protect themselves, calling law enforcement, etc. Personally, if someone threatens me or mine, I will thank them for the warning and prepare to address the threat, but I know some don’t believe in violence, even in self defense. Great. You give peace a chance. I’ll cover you if it doesn’t work out and respect your commitment. But whining about random doodles drawn in chalk gets zero respect from me. And does zero to actually change the world.
again, you’re ignoring the fact that their circumstances are much different than yours.
Your assumption is utterly incorrect. I acknowledge their circumstances are different from mine. They live in a dorm room, eat at a cafeteria, and have as their only concern which theoretical model to promote in the next meaning less paper they have to produce.
I, on the other hand, have to go to work, pay a mortgage, pay taxes…IOW, they live within the snowflake paradise of academia, while the rest of us live in the real world.
These, however, are not the different “circumstances” to which they, and you, should be paying attention. Compare the “threat” of a political candidate’s name, written in chalk, to the circumstances endured and conquered a few decades ago. Burning crosses, ACTUAL death threats, national guard shooting protesters, fringe terrorist organizations blowing up buildings on campus…THESE are threats worth recognizing and confronting. A name, written on sidewalks in the very temporary medium of chalk is not, and cannot be considered a threat by any rational human being. This remains a story of children, creating a fuss and making up stories simply because they don’t like the message. Children so fragile, they cannot survive the idea that someone might have a differing opinion. Children willing to use whatever force they can to bully that different opinion out of existence. For someone so expert in creating a fantasy world, JK Rowling has a solid grasp on the realities of free speech. http://www.slate.com/articles/video/video/2016/05/j_k_rowling_defends_donald_trump_s_right_to_be_bigoted_and_free_speech_video.html
wait…. I say “your circumstances are different then theirs” – you disagree – then you go off on a rant of exactly why and how your circumstances ARE different!
W.T.F. ?
nice rant! – soooooo can I assume you are not the same religion?
Once again a response is deleted. Try this again.
When you give words power over you, the other guy wins. Every time. Someone says something you find rude? Consider them a jerk and move on with your life. If you choose to fall into the fetal position and cry every time someone says something you don’t like in the real world, you will spend your life as a victim, never achieving anything.
Coddling these children, encouraging their frailty is not doing them any favors. The real world remains quite Darwinian. It requires a certain degree of strength and resiliency in order to achieve any level of success. Once they leave the protected cloister of their academic world, they will have to manage in a very dog-eat-dog world. The current Title IX dominated academia is not preparing them for that world.
A word, drawn in chalk (which will be washed away in the first rain and is therefore completely temporary) is not a threat. Not in the remotest sense of the word. A message with your name and a violent act may be construed as a threat. Writing the name of a candidate in chalk is not.
you’re ignoring the fact that their circumstances are much different than yours.
awesome – can I assume you are NOT a member of the same religion?
Suggestion for these precious snowflakes – try taking a major where you won’t have time to worry about chalk on a sidewalk. Get a flippin life!
Where are the photos of this “offensive” chalking? You offer no proof that this isn’t just a bunch of made up bullshit. I sure hope it is made up. Hard to believe that anyone could be offended by something this innocent.
Oh yeah, by the way:
Vote Trump 2016 and Make America Great Again!
Every one of these students ought to be expelled.
Moreover, every one of them ought to be under a court order to live at home, with their parents appointed as their legal guardians, until such time as they possess sufficient mental health to interact with others.
Please, students, do the world a favor and never move out of your parents’ houses and get jobs in the real world. We really don’t want to work in the cube next to you. Thanks.
Congrats Emory administrators. You’ve allowed your “university” to become a laughing stock all over the world. Morons…
“I’m supposed to feel comfortable and safe”
Uh, no. You are supposed to BE safe. As in, the university should have adequate security to prevent violence.
You are SUPPOSED to encounter ideas that might challenge your existing ones. If that makes you feel afraid, it says more about your character than anything else.
Millennials melting down and disintegrating upon first contact with reality? Color me shocked. I need protection from this kind of thing.
What would a bumper sticker do to them?
Boohoo. Convinced that these students are scared? no. they are spoiled, and very bad actors, who are in constant need of attention.. They should go back to acting school.
They need to go home to mommy
The students pictured look like Nerds, who can’t get a date!! They would be a part of any group, if it made them a few friends, or got them laid.. From the images I have seen, most of the anger, hate, and violence, is coming from the anti-Trump crowd that is being paid to protest….
Protip: Emory administration can ask any of us out in the real world how to deal with this. Hint: “tough love”.
“Come speak to us, we are in pain!” You have got to be kidding me. These are going to be our future leaders? That’s way more scary than the word Trump.
Are the poor little snowflakes hurt because someone disagrees with their leftist world view? WAAAAA, WAAAAAA…….get a life you little crybabies…..TRUMP 2016!!!!!
Please keep your graduates of Emory Preschool locked in their play pens. A place that does not let an individual, an American citizen to peacefully express there constitutional right for a candidate of their personal choice..freedom of expression. You should be ashamed to call yourselves American citizens. Sounds like an introduction to American History 101 needs to be mandated.
Please, the idea of these fancy “elite” private schools mandating some part of the curriculum without another protest or a drop in applications? Good luck. I think all of us like the softcore General Education requirements at this school as it allows for more “flexibility” which is code for:GPA management and academic coddling (by avoiding topics, courses, and professors with workloads and ideas that make us uncomfortable) on top of the emotional coddling we get from being protected you know, from someone’s expressed support of a disagreeable politician.
Can you imagine having to rely on these whiny, snot nosed cream puffs to defend the country. Show them to their safe place, give them their participation trophy, and forget about them. They don’t deserve our spending one moment considering their pathetic, cowardly grievance.
I don’t think you could depend on them to get your order right at McDonalds.
The president should resign for lacking fortitude. The message should have read, “While defacing university property with chalk is subject to disciplinary action, this is a university. We are hereto debate ideas not suppress them and no we aren’t required to make you feel emotionally “safe”. This is a university not a nursery school, get over it.”
Well said!
Thank you……but I guess my attitude towards student protestors is causing me problems in the job search…..faculty want a cream-puff for a president. Oh well, retirement isn’t so bad LOL
You’re better off!
Imagine dealing with these whiny little brats?
These whiny students will never be able to function in the real world or hold down a job. Wait til they find out their lib-arts degrees are worthless too. We shouldn’t coddle these infantile whiners.
Yeah, I won’t be tipping them at Starbucks, either!
Amen Trinity, Amen!
Are you freaking kidding me? Jesus Christ grow up. I don’t support Trump but I also don’t support little self-centered whining tit-sucking college kids who got their feelings hurt thinking they can tell the grownups what we can and cannot do. Go to your safe space and shut up.
Does my chalk trigger you?
Only if it’s white chalk! 🙂
I recommend Emory students line up therapy and set up support groups before November; after Trump wins, it’ll be too late, and you’ll be curled up in the corner, broken down, sobbing.
So, do the poor sensitive babies realize that if the university were to send out an email decrying Trump that the university would be taking a political stance that could threaten it’s tax-exempt status? And, OBTW, why don’t Trump supporters get their “safe space” at rallies. After all, if they feel “threatened” by those who advocate confiscation of property (socialists), assault on police officers (BLM), and generally rude and offensive behavior (cursing in front of minors), don’t they deserve to have those committing such acts censored within the Trump “safe-space”?
Free speech only matters when it’s speech you want to hear.
That stated… chalk is easily cleaned up.
Here is one of the “victims” listed in the story above…. She is a political activist (aka political agitator), who probity did the scrawling with the chalk just to generate her own politicize aspirations.
“Amanda Obando Polio of Santa Tecla Libertad, El Salvador, chose Emory due to her interest in international politics and addressing social inequalities. On her campus visit, Emory’s openness to offering financial aid to undocumented students impressed her the most.
“If you ask anyone from Latin America if they have an illegal immigrant relative in the United States, it is very likely that they will say that they do,” she says. “It was very important to me that the university I decided to attend was open to tackling issues regarding this minority group. So the fact that [the Emory administration] fearlessly disclosed information on this topic immediately convinced me that Emory is the continuously progressive university community I want to be involved in.”
http://www.emory.edu/EMORY_MAG…
Update: The SGA and College Council pledged in the statement, obtained by Campus Reform, to stand in solidarity with the “threatened” communities of this incident and to also make emergency funds available to “any student organization looking to sponsor events in response to this incident.”
http://www.campusreform.org/?I…
AHHHHHH. ITS ALWAYS ABOUT MONEY!!!!
So how much money do they get “in response to this incident”? I guarantee that it will be more than the cost of chalk!
Unbelievable. She is probably not even an American citizen here getting free college.
She is not, and you are right, she has a scholarship. Oh, and this is how much it cost to teach / lead these ……….., um, students
“Wagner, who has acted as Emory’s President for the past eight years, receives a total yearly compensation of $1,200,633.”
And he is stepping down this year, so he does not want to rock the boat in his last days.
I am shocked that a university would be offering financial aid of any sort to people in the US illegally. Many universities are recipients of federal grants and in order to keep receiving the same, they need to be in compliance with hiring those authorized to work in the US. What if one of the illegals got a job on campus? It seems a very big risk. OTOH perhaps this snivel fest might alert the feds to look into who goes to Emory.
I have no issue with those seeking higher education from foreign countries based on their own merit. I have a problem of those who come here and receive an opportunity of a lifetime, provided by the very freedom that they now desire to destroy.
Agreed. I would only had “and funding” after “merit”. Why give aid to foreigners when there are many Americans who could use it?
These people need to be slapped.
Academia in 2016 is a fascistic, left wing stinkhole.
All these “students” are learning is how to be lifelong, professional a-holes.
I routinely torment the millennials in my workplace by surreptitiously posting signs like “Millennials cry a lot” upon which they start crying.
Hope it is your business cuz they have learned the jihad dance – whine, demand, play the victim – sue.
Apparently these same mindless gnomes were not outraged by the Bernie Sanders chalk markings, nor the black lives matter dimwits chalk markings. Once again brain dead liberals on college campuses showing their true colors.
What a bunch of spineless jellyfish you are a disgrace to this nation , you’re nothing but little wimps , God forbid this country was ever attacked I would assume you’d be on the enemy side , grow up you worthless idiots
And many of these kids are from GEORGIA? !!! Their ancestors are turning in their graves at these wimps.
My favorite and ALWAYS an excuse, “people of color are struggling academically because they are so focused on trying to have a safe community and focus on these issues [related to having safe spaces on campus].”
There’s no way no way they came from my loins…. Don’t blame. me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnNSy6CqTcU
No way are they from Georgia! Georgia Loves Trump!
I don’t believe that any of them are even from the south. We don’t bring our kids up to be this way. We bring them up to be strong, resilient and fair.
There are tons of BLMers and MSA (moslems) on campuses who manipulate this kind of crap as the white kids have become their dhimmis. Know that the two have joined forces and it is the moslems who will prevail, though the blacks haven’t figured that out yet, unless most BLMers have converted too.
What a bunch of candya$$ crybabies! If this is what passes as a college we as a nation are doomed.The left has destroyed higher education and this is concrete proof.These adolescents need a good spanking from mommy and daddy for wasting their money.
Emory should be embarrassed.
Those that scream intolerance are the most intolerant! What a bunch of whining cry babies trying to stifle others first amendment rights!! What is totally out of this world is that the Emory University Administration agrees with the Bubbleheaded Knitwits!!! GOD help us all!!!!!!!!
I hope this Emory idiot realizes that Emory can be sued for his ridiculous circular decision.
Congratulations, precious little snowflakes, for being the laughingstock of the USA. I do not support Trump but I am going to vote for him just to make Emory students cry. Trump 2016!
Pity President Wagner kowtowed to these narcissistic snowflakes. Perhaps if they’d experienced strong adult supervision as children they wouldn’t have grown up to be manipulative, emotional terrorists.
A recent report states that this was all a big mistake. When the sun set, it was discovered that what students thought was “TRUMP” written in chalk had actually been their own shadows.
Very good, well stated!
Absolutely ABSURD.
You won’t survive in the real world where there are no safe spaces or “Professors”, on whose shoulders you can cry!
Honestly, I can’t take this ?
What is clear is that Emory students did not come to school with the open minds they claim to have–these delicate Emory students are liars. What they came to do is to condemn–and to bully, to intimidate and manipulate. Shame on them!
As a nascent embarrassed Emory alum, I recall all kinds of messages on sidewalks; I can’t remember anything that was worth my time to call a national news story. What they want given their elaborate answers is nothing less than an administration that already agrees with them: Republicans = bad, Republican ideas = forbidden. Apparently, they wish to cleanse Emory of ideas they condemn through the manipulation of authority.
Which brings us to President Wagner for whom I have great sympathy, asking, “what do you want me to do?” They want Wagner to ignore Emory’s values–the ones they claim to cherish.
Excellently said.
if free speech is only what you agree with, then there IS NO free speech!
Doesn’t mean we have to respect the person saying it.
Lol what a bunch of sensitive faggots
Wow, look at how sad, pathetic, and fragile those kids appear. Right on the edge of tears!
I was going to say something about their rather unimpressive reaction to CHALK, but it genuinely seems like they’d die if they read something remotely offensive in their lives, nevermind ever facing real adversity.
Someone get these poor children out of college and into safe places where their very existence isn’t threatened by day-to-day occurrences!
What is clear about the premises behind the news in what we read from The Wheel and from national reporting on this absurd story is that the immature and manipulative students pleading like oppressed orphans before President Wagner are to be taken seriously, as I fear Wagner is now doing.
It’s really a shame that the leftists have so spread their unhappiness and narcissism throughout the Academy that every issue in their minds is related to identity politics–it is truly the Closing of the American Mind on campus.
I wonder if Wagner’s successor will be giving foot rubs to the unhappy progeny of these nitwit students.
Trump is strongly opinionated, successful, straight, and white, a family man.
I think I understand why these “children” are frightened. This is antithetical to what they’ve been taught by the mainstream leftist culture.
Now if Trump was “brown” and trans-gendered, there wouldn’t be a problem. Get my drift?
Oh, by they way: TRUMP 2016!
SJWs are funny. They can switch between poor victim and violent thug at will, at any time.
that is the truth. the Bernie Bots that are being rabble at Trump rallies are ok to engage, but god forbid someone b&tchslap them and tell them to act like adults
#TRUMP2016 #SJWSucks #ALLLIVESMATTER (except these little special snowflakes) who need to be sucking momma’s boobies again
Quick! Someone call Dobbins RAFB, they need to make a emergency air drop of manpons…!
Hard to believe a couple of generations ago Americans of the same age stormed the beaches of Normandy under withering fire to liberate a continent.. What a bunch of losers at Emory.
Maybe they need to have an emergency brigade of pressure washers on standby at all times!
The problem is these no back bone university big wigs are giving into these wimps. They need to tell them to grow up, they are in college now, no longer in elementary school. I could not stop laughing when I read they were getting counselling. They were afraid, have they never heard that words cannot harm you. How are these cry babies ever going to handle the real world. Are businesses going to provide counselling when these babies don’t get the raise they think they are entitled to. If anyone writes the name Hilary or Bernie I hope a group of students complain and demand counseling also. Let’s see how far that move will go.
Wagner, who has acted as Emory’s President for the past eight years, receives a total yearly compensation of $1,200,633.
What a waist of money for leadership. They could pay a nanny 10 dollars an hour and have better results.
Really!
That, and they wouldn’t screw up the sandwich orders as often…
Thankfully, there are SOME people involved in the administration of some schools in the US that DO their jobs and tell it straight, in shockingly professional manner at times. It isn’t common, but it’s happened, and made news (usually accompanied by SJW hyperbole about how their deflecting 18-22-year-old tantrums is fascism).
Cheers to the Presidents, VPs, Deans, etc. that don’t sh*t from spoiled failures-as-adults.
Where is leadership when you pansy to a bunch of bratty little kids that don’t have a clue about the real world. He should have told them go back to class and study the Constitution and Bill of Rights…ever heard of the First Amendment? They are acting like a bunch of commie brown shorts trying to suppress free speech…if you call calk writing’s free speech.
What about all the past Bernie Baby And Hillary chalking’s?? Anyone traumatized?
Kick them out andget back to class and learning something for a change.
Geez…many people were killed by ISIS terrorist yesterday and they have this focus?
Dear Emory Students,
Incidents like this actually corroborate the insane political correctness that Trump pledges to root out. Congratulations on giving credence to his campaign.
I feel sorry for them. Look, what they think about after shouting out illogical complaints? “Report to their company!” They should have lived in North Korea.
Gotta wonder how these children survived playground taunts in first grade.
I hope the sniveling boobs are reading these posts.Imagine them in the closet with only the light from their lifeline(Ipad) sucking their thumbs and crying about all the mean people making fun of them on their university website!
I’m surprised they haven’t shut it down. Probably can’t find the “off” switch through all the tears.
Progressive tears taste so sweet.
Not hiring any Emory grads that come along.
lol comon its only those 40 students…
most of the students didnot even care haha
Wait…I have a friend about to grad at Emory and he says this is a small minority that is being coddled for some reason. Most serious students of law and medical are serious conservative student getting a top notch education.
So, we have fascists and enablers.
Silence in the face of this BS is as bad as bawling along with them.
EXACTLY!
Conservative students do write to the administration, student newspapers, etc. But you know, for PC reasons, their voice is not to be heard often. Their article submissions have seldom be published, and even their posts on Facebook will draw ad hominem from their so called fellow students. This is the institutional description against conservatives.
Isn’t that the same argument these snowflakes used against the administration?
It sounds similar. 🙂
However
I am not suggesting that the authorities need to do anything.
I am suggesting that there should be a popular response as, in this case, silence is acquiescence.
Had the story been that there was an anti-Trump protest in response to Trump graffiti – it would be an entirely different story (and entirely appropriate).
That’s the most encouraging thing I’ve read in ages
Bring back the mandatory draft it’s time to turn these snowflakes into adults
Unemployable.
OK folks everyone post….
T R U M P 2016
Bring back the draft
hahhahhahahahahaha
Shame on Emory.
Man, this is just special. “Eradicating the marginalized”. That’s not even coherent. Who taught these kids how to write? Grew up around men that fought the Nazis, liberated sub-camps of Dachau and other slave labor camps. Might want to read a bit of history.
And if you want to win an argument try something other than a poorly articulated ad hominem. Even a tu quoque argument would be an improvement. Again, very happy my oldest turned Emory down. I’d be asking for a refund for the days wasted on this crap.
And I’d be very careful about doxing people. These kids seem to thing you can mouth off and try to destroy peoples lives with no consequences. Learned a long time ago to be very very careful about f**king with strangers.
TRUMP 2016!
Thought I’d post one similarity these students have with Trump. He wants to “win win win” also.
From a student: “It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.”
They can lose their chains apparently by chaining the mouths of those who disagree with them–same thing Obama’s new friends the Castros have done for decades now.
They’ve got even more in common than you’d think. Like Trump, many of these students will trip and fall into hefty inheritances. They won’t encounter any real form of adversity. It’s sad.
I’m no Trump supporter, but I was a member (and eventually officer) of the Emory College Republicans. I thrived in actual adversity — shouted at and booed in debates and club recruitment drives — I actually enjoyed it. It made me tougher.
I’m ashamed on this day to call myself an Emory alum.
Emory students: Why do you hate inclusion, why do you close your minds to other opinions, why do you think you’re entitled to some fake ‘ safe space ‘ when the children and other people you’ll have to support and/or work with have no such privilege? Why are you spend so much on education and yet know so little?
These precious pumpkins will be on the government dole for life. When they graduate, they won’t be able to handle the “emotional trauma” of job interviews. Even getting one rejection will cause them to be “triggered” and break down sobbing and curl up into little balls.
For a lot of companies, they’re not even worth hiring because they’re 100% unprepared for the real world, for how REAL people interact every day, and they’ve got the emotional stature of infants. They’re unable to cope with even the slightest pressure. The truth is we’ll need to skip a generation and hope & pray the next batch of kids that get baked up turn out as better cookies.
Since when is writing with chalk on a building/sidewalk on a public campus an infraction?
As I posted after you — it’s not a violation. I’m an Emory alum. This is a malicious attempt by Wagner and his staff to silence dissenting opinion on campus to make sure to keep the donations flowing in from the mommies and daddies of the triggered, oppressed students.
I would think he would be more concerned about outraged alum, such as yourself.
” I don’t deserve to feel afraid at my school,” she added.”
Yes you do. People like you deserve all the calumny that can be thrown at you. You are crybullies, who are trying to get your own way by intimidation.
I don’t mind if you whimne and demonstrate. That is your right. But I don’t see why anyone should do anything but laugh at your nwimpishness and your painfully obvious attempt to adopt authoritarian tactics.
Where is leadership when you pansy to a bunch of bratty little kids that don’t have a
clue about the real world. He should have told them go back to class and study
the Constitution and Bill of Rights…ever heard of the First Amendment?
They are acting like a bunch of commie brown shirts trying to suppress free
speech…if you call calk writing’s free speech.
What about all the past Bernie Baby And Hillary chalking’s?? Anyone traumatized?
Kick them out and get back to class and learning something for a change.
Geez…many people were killed by ISIS terrorist yesterday and they have this focus?
You do realize what Laughingstocks you are making of yourselves (I guess not)? Here’s the thing (and you won’t have to sit in boring lectures for four years to learn this): The World / Reality is not a “comfortable and safe place”. It never has been and it never will be. There is absolutely nothing that your College Administrators can do to make it a “comfortable and safe place” Your parents couldn’t even make the Home you lived in as a child a “comfortable and safe place”. I supposed that they tried, but it is a Sisyphean task.
I did notice the “one thing” that you accomplished by bleating to the Administration that your feelings were hurt – they decided to go ” to an annual retreat to renew our social justice efforts.” Yea, that’s what they will do when they are not drunk or full of those big Shrimp Cocktails!
You people amaze me. Riddle me this – what do you do when you see the headline in the local newspaper or on the local TV News, “Trump Wins Primaries”. Do you curl up in a ball?
Idiots. Go #trump!
In a time of great crisis, these are the first cucks who will starve.
Emory Let’s cut past the bullcrap. We could talk about politics and rights and feelings. However I have something that is a bigger factor that you will want to pay attention to: Money. This is fact, since Mizzou capitulated and fostered these types of demands from people such as these their enrollment plummeted. Also a fact, they have projected a massive loss in income and profit due to the lack of new enrollments. We could talk about right and wrong, free speech vs censorship, appeasement vs neutrality. But, I have made it very simple. It is about existing and not existing. Do you want to exist in 4 years? You can change and appease these demands, but you can’t do anything if you have no capital. So it is up to you, do you support these people for the next 4 years before the lack of enrollment causes you to go bankrupt, or do you take a stance of neutrality and actually remain in business to even choose to be neutral or not?
What would be interesting is to break down that drop at Mizzou. My hunch is that the cohort that is passing up an application is the out of state kids that pay full freight, so a very outsized impact from a small drop in applicants. And likely also some at the high end of the academic scale, that despite in state tuition and merit scholarships don’t want the name on their diploma. That would be a double death spiral…
The man said “we are in pain.” I assume he meant to say, “We are a pain.” So corrected, he is absolutely right.
Students like these…. beyond pathetic at this point.
Omg these poor kids better hope mommy and daddy will be supporting them after college they will not be able to cope with the real world. $65,000 a year tuition none the less.
Just wow. Congratulations James Wagner. You’ve managed to turn a respected Georgia University into an international punchline. Perhaps you should be handing out boxes of Huggies instead of degrees. Go Dawgs.
all these special wittle snowflakes feel violated. WTF. wait till their first boss tells them grow up and act like an adult of get canned.
Emory is officially the laughing stock for coddling brats, and putting on the appearance of just being glorified daycare center.

Close the comments, please. It’s being brigaded.
Ohhhh noooes!!!!! Dissenting opinion! Save us!
I actually probably agree with you. I’m just stating the obvious.
Free speech and others opinions are wrong. It is the current year.
Free speech does not give people the right to voice their opinions without criticism.
There’s absolutely no meaningful discussion going on in these comments–a majority of the below commenters have no ties to Emory and do not know of its background, or social issues. I doubt a majority of the commenters have even read the Wheel before this story was publicized.
Go to your safe place! Hurry so you don’t read Bad, bad, Evil stuff mom can;t keep from you
Insinuating I personally need a “safe space.” I haven’t given my opinion of the article. I just think you and many other commenters have literally nothing insightful to contribute.
The fact that any serious student is not angry and insulted by this disgraceful display of false outrage is enough proof that the school is no longer a place to be respected.
What? We are trying to give these kids a taste of the REAL WORLD! they should be ashamed of themselves!
Well, sweetie, please share some insightful contributions about this situation.
As a student, I am sure you can enlighten us dinosaurs….
And yet I doubt you’d be asking for the comment section to be shut down if everyone was agreeing with or supporting you. Please go back to your safe space and don’t come back tia
Most ironic comment of the thread.
Well, people are giving their opinions (which happen to be criticism) and you are… I was going to say criticizing it but you are calling for speech to be shutdown.
And yet, you posted:

Close the comments, please. It’s being brigaded.
YOu don’t even see the irony of your comment, do you?
I beg to differ, there’s a lot being discussed in these comments. Namely, that your generation can’t handle opinions different to you own. I *WAS* for Sanders. Now i’m thinking Trump might be BETTER for this country, if it’ll cause you to finally stop wearing diapers.
I’m sorry, the Internet is NOT a safe space. People will post their uncensored opinions here, they will continue to do so, and if you don’t like it, you might feel safer in a cave.
“Free speech does not give people the right to voice their opinions without criticism.”
Read what you wrote, honey.
Is this a joke? Its just a name! will it help if mom and dad come sit with you in class?
Is that what you call a torrent of justified ridicule?
This thread gets funnier by the minute.
Are you in pain? Are you uncomfortable? Are you going to cry? If so, can I drink your sweet sissy tears?
TRUMP 2016!
You’re scaring the chirren with that hate speech.
I just hope my wife’s son is ok.
Employers take note.
Amen. i would say any Emory Grad i’d put on a list and say yea, we don’t hire whiners and babies as we don’t operated a day care center.
Agree
No doubt. No Emory grads in my employ … ever.
Absolutely, students like these at Emory, Mizzou and the entire Ivy league, thankfully this bedwetting has not infected OSU yet.
Is this real or is this story an elaborate joke?
It pains me to read what this paper has said about this chalking can I sue the paper?
They act like it was suggested we BBQ bigbird or advocated branding unicorns.
Frigging hilarious.
Are you children for real?
You have ensured that I will never hire a single student that attended even a single class at Emory!
You have show what little, angry and hateful people you are and that you lack the ability to function in adult society.
You are a disgrace.
Trump 2016

What a bunch of limp wristed pantywaists.
ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!!
Whether you’re for Trump or against him, this should deeply concern everyone, particularly those of us who attended this university.
This response by President Wagner is not only un-American, but also intellectually dishonest. You cannot claim to be an institution of higher learning and silence elements of the student body for expressing perfectly legal opinions in a completely harmless way. Chalk drawings and writings were extremely commonplace on the quad when I attended Emory, so to claim that this breaches the conduct code is not only a lie, but a malicious attempt to intimidate and silence students.
President Wagner should resign or be encouraged to resign. I’m ashamed of the behavior of my alma mater, and I’m not alone.
-Tim Barnett, Oxford ’04/Emory ’06
So sorry to see your degree being devalued. I considered Emory for residency… now glad I chose otherwise.
whenever I wasn’t in a classroom, I was at work. I’ve built a 14 year resume that renders my degree irrelevant, and I’m thankful for that. I didn’t have daddy’s black AMEX to safety-net my mistakes.
Good on you sir.
I’m beginning to think that my decisions to cut the occasional class to go to work early can no longer be considered mistakes. 🙂
Let the universities burn. They are almost ALL useless.
People need to speak up , humanity is being taught to become cowardly.
Not humanity, just western society. Gotta soften em up.
Yes
Freedom of speech, as long as you agree with the popular leader.
Hopefully, it’s not too late to turn from this course.
I’m going to go draw chalk swastikas all over now just to see how much apoplexy I can cause.
Use poop…It get’s a better reaction!
Draw Trump 2016 = Pain, Anguish and Fear
Support a rape enabler = Good democrat
I think the young “men” at this school should find a young coed and enjoy a nice cigar…You know, to honor that wonderful dem Clinton
Trump needs to have a rally there if his name alone causes this much outrage and “pain”. Hopefully all the pussified liberals would drop dead on the spot
Simply hysterical! If Emory’s goal is to produce bed wetting crybabies they are certainly succeeding. If a few chalk campaign signs can devastate them then the real world will have them seeking “pain” counseling 24/7
Good grief. No wonder our country is going down the drain. Universities are supposed to make you challenge yourself and your perception of life. This is impossible if you insulate yourself in a safe space. Good God.
Inmates running the asylum…..
Can someone just dress up as a Wall when they go to class? How about four to five to block the main entrance?
Hijack the intercom system and have Trump talking building the wall on loop for 10 minutes.
Make sure you bring a camera of some sort so you can capture the crybabies shaking in the fetal position so this joke can become even stronger!
What a bunch if pansies. The future of our country is very bleak with little babies like this. If we ever went to war with this generation we would definitely lose because they would run before it started.
I wonder what the cry bullies will do when they realize that they have just helped recruit more Trump voters? Maybe they they won’t feel safe with themselves!
This is what I would responded to their “pleas”………………. “Grow up!” drop the mic and walk away
What a bunch of simpering pansies you kids are. You’re so unbelievably pathetic and narcissistic! I HATE Donald Trump, he’s no conservative, but I hope he wins so you feel “pain” and “uncomfortable” every single day. You kids make me, and every patriot in this nation, vomit. You’ve made your college a national laughingstock, and that’s hard to do with the idiots at Berkley, Prairie View A&M and Oberlin running around.
Poor little traumatized snowflakes.
People have to realize that deep down, liberals think conservatives are fascist… that we’re just selfishly wrong about everything because we don’t believe Robinhood works… and since we are just selfish, we are just wrong, and need to be corrected.
It is a very short step to saying conservative speech is hate speech, and because it’s hate speech, conservatives should not have the same free speech rights as liberals, who are enlightened.
It’s a real-life example of people who believe the end (a perfect socialized society) justifies the means (violating the free speech rights of those who dissent).
It’s just astounding that people can’t see the hypocrisy or lunacy here… it’s either a character defect or a mental disorder, but either way, it’s exactly what real fascists do about dissent.
Trump is winning because normal people realize just how crazy these leftist are, and we are tired of their politically correct culture of lies.
Children, children…. Sit down and stop all this childish behavior. Before you grow up you have to learn to treat everyone fairly the same way.
So the trump supporters were so afraid they had to enact their protests under the cover of night… and these twats, gathered in their mob of 40+, accusing anyone who not only disagrees with them, but fails to condemn those that disagree with them, as hateful and bigoted and deserving of retribution…They are the ones who are afraid? No no no… they are the ones bullying and making others afraid. They are the ones promoting hate.
So Donald Trump doesn’t share Emory’s valued of diversity and inclusivity. And yet the mere sight of his name spurs these little minions to put on a display of exclusion and intolerance that would make even Trump blush.
Trump: Ban muslims!
Emory: Ban conservatives!
See the difference? Me either.
Employers need to be aware that Emory isn’t turning out functioning adults and pass over those applicants that receive their degree from Emory. Who would want one of those snowflakes in their workplace?
This is pathetic. Earlier generations of college kids endured World War 2, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, the Cuban missile crisis and the Kennedy assassination and these Emory University kids are scared of an election slogan scribbled across campus? We have an entire generation of softies.
I despise Trump, but he’s not half as bad as Che, Castro, Chavez, or any of the other goons that these students likely deify. Seriously, grow up. People are allowed to have opinions different from yours.
Emory University, you need to drop some of those Independent Studies classes and enact the following class, FAST! The class? Why ‘GROW UP 101’ of course! To be followed by ‘Get A Life 206’ and upper electives ‘Prepare Me For Real World 310, 312 and 415’… To be followed by an essay on the subject matter as a requirement for graduation. Otherwise Emory, you disservice your student body and you release upon the masses the continuation of American Skulduggery.
This protest brought to you by the members of Lambda Lambda Lambda and Omega Mu. Booger sends his regards.
In the 1940’s, men went off to World War 2 without batting an eyelash to bravely serve their country, where they heroically took the war to Hitler’s doorstep and liberate entire continents. Teenage boys even tried to lie their way into service wanting to serve their country so bad.
Women also proudly served in the armed force, and sweated and toiled working in factories around the clock, to manufacture things to help the war effort. Or did their best to emotionally hold down the home front until their loved ones returned. Even small little kids ran around all over the place, dragging their wagons, collecting things that could be and used to help out.
Meanwhile today’s COLLEGE age students — young ADULTS about to enter the real world — weep and complain that they’ve been “triggered” and are “in pain” over chalk messages on a sidewalk that says something as absolutely incredibly simple as: Trump 2016.
Short version: We’ve gone from the Greatest generation to the most Pathetic.
Right on the money. I had family that died serving in that war.
Thanks for putting into perspective the difference between heroes and wimps!!!
The “Greatest Generation” gave us the repulsive Cultural Marxist mess the entire western world now finds itself poisoned with. They should be ridiculed, not worshiped. Hitler wanted Germany for Germans. Today, thanks to the “Greatest Generation”, Germany is for everybody except Germans, and Europe is for everybody except Europeans. There’s nothing great about the “Greatest Generation”.
Congrats. You’re the perfect example of everything that’s wrong today.
God help us……….
Hitler wanted a world-wide, German-ruled Reich that would last for a thousand years. But do not let a little thing like facts get in the way of your oh-so-good fiction. The people that you are ridiculing are the reason that you even have the right to type your misguided opinion. They paid for every single word that you express with their pain, blood, misery and even the very lives of themselves and their friends.
Amen.
I’m sure glad nobody wrote HILLARY 2016 in chalk. Imagine having to defend somebody who once voted for the Gulf War, who was against gay marriage and for the Defense of Marriage Act, who illegally handled classified emails, whose husband has been repeatedly accused of sexual harassment and rape, and who once seduced a young intern in the workplace. She also called Jews “FJB” and has treated ordinary working Americans with contempt while using her corrupt “foundation” in a quid pro quo manner, and getting her idiot daughter various jobs which she was not qualified to get and was nevertheless highly paid.
Aw the special little snowflakes got their “feels” hurt. It just makes me want to vote for Trump that much more!
Easily the biggest generation of wailing babies in world history.
I have ever been more embarrassed to see some alums act like this. So hysterical. You are the one need to be educated.
These idiots are so sheltered they constantly conflate words with violence. Obviously they’ve never experienced real violence in their lives.
He didn’t call out any one race, you silly nimrod. He’s just calling a spade a spade…something your dad and grandfather could tell you about. And Furious…I wouldn’t be too worried. Any dipshit that can be hurt by words is easily defeatable.. 🙂
These kids are a sad lot. How are they going to handle the real world. Emory should be ashamed that these weak minded students were granted entrance into the school
Here’s hoping every last one of them graduates 100K in debt and then finds their jobs handed over to noble immigrants with H-1B visas.
Many that I saw complaining looked like they were H1B recipients, to begin with. Either that or Trump threatened their Chinese laundry.
H1-B visas are only for temporary foreign employees. Not college students,
I work for a SaaS developer. I am quite familiar with them.
You sure would be! Have a good evening 🙂
I’ve hired Chinese, Indian, Kiwis, Australians, etc. None of them spent any time on being victims. They studied hard and generally were both more numerate and literate than the average American graduate. These snowflakes don’t know that their competition actually works harder. I like diversity. But I detest incompetence and victim hood as a lifestyle.
Emory students, this is only reinforcing Trump’s narrative of being under attack by political correctness. Do not feed the Trump.
if it’s true, which this story proves, is it really a “narrative”?
I am embarrassed to be part of this generation.
Stay the course.
We need you !
#babyboomer ?
Did someone commit a microaggression by disagreeing with these hot house flowers. How dare someone express an opinion they don’t like. Nuke The Whales!
Say it ain’t so ?
There is a strain of self-professed progressives that have no real progressive or enlightenment ideals. They can only set their moral compass by what they’re opposed to rather than what they stand for. It means that they will forever vacillate between causes and collect injustices no matter how esoteric or niche they may be. It’s a victim mentality that is predicated on always finding offense even if none is intended. If “Vote Trump” written in chalk makes someone feel unsafe it’s not because they’re being threatened, it’s because they’re a coward, and cowardice is shameful.
What a bunch of supreme wussies….poor wittle babies…boohoohoo.. Geez, we coulda had a field day stickin’ KickMe stickers on the wuss morons backs all day long… 🙂 Really, getta spine you sad excuses of humans….
Reinforces my opinion that college students are not mature enough to vote. Raise the voting age to 25 years old, or after 4 years of compulsory military service.
Agree
Amen.
When I look back to the first vote I was able to cast in a presidential election, I realize that I was not only a low information voter, I was a no information voter.
Too young and totally uninformed on politics.
So true, their behavior proves proves this.
Something that 0.3% of the students did reinforces an opinion that is of 100% of the students? You might literally be retarded. Get that checked out dude.
Those students sound like they either need psychological help or grow up for pity’s sake
>I don’t want you to disagree with me.
>I’ll say it scares me when you disagree with me.
>You have no right to scare me.
>Therefore you have no right to disagree with me.
This actually makes Mao look sane.
“While the University has not released an official response as of press time, Donald Trump obviously remains a flashpoint for many students, but according to Singh there is comfort to be found for those who feel oppressed.”
Is this the new speak? Their feeling of oppression is the same thing as being oppressed? They saw “Vote Trump” written in chalk. All kidding aside, how is having a protest in response to an anonymous political slogan scrawled in chalk an appropriate response? Are they unable to function if they encounter an opinion they don’t agree with? Anyone who is sympathetic to this line of thought is hurting these students. They’re emotionally and intellectually deficient if they think only their point of view is worthy of defense. Utterly astonished at their cavalier ignorance and self-righteousness.
They are oppressed by reality
Perhaps they can bring a lawsuit against reality. Is mental illness a prerequisite for admission?
ARE YOU SERIOUS!? Feelings were hurt!
????
Are you joking!?
Sarcasm right, I have trouble with that.
Not at all.
millinials are out, snowflakes in. Better get used to being butt hurt.
Oh no!!
That’s right. These are desperate times. Be careful.
It’s hard to believe that such emotionally immature adolescents walk this earth. Carl is either on drugs or he needs some.
This is what a blank slate looks like, ready to be molded in future little progressives.
It’s not really a matter of being “afraid”. It’s the use of appropriate buzz words that will get them heard. It’s a power play rather than actual fright. I can’t stand Trump, but this is silly. Can conservative students be “afraid” of chalked support for Bernie? No fear, just a power play.
Buzz words. Exactly.
Also called Rhetoric.
These future leaders will be well equipped to deal with, say, Isis?
why in god’s name does the school even entertain this nonsense? If I were in charge I would have expelled them for being morons. No wonder it costs like $80,000 a year to attend this DUMP if they have to have an “emergency fund” set up to deal with hurt feelings? Good lord!!!!!!
YES WE THE PEOPLE DO BELIEVE THAT TRUMP IS A VILE, DISGUSTING RACIST.
YES WE THE PEOPLE DO BELIEVE THAT THIS HATESPEECH MUST BE BANNED.
YES WE THE PEOPLE WILL MARCH, CHANT, PROTEST AND OCCUPY!!!!!!
WE SAY NO TO TRUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NO TO HATESPEECH ON COLLAGE CAMPUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
READY FOR HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!
NOTE: I HAVE A HORRIBLE CYBER STALKER WHO SOMEHOW POSTS WITH MY SAME NAME. I DO NOT KNOW HOW. HE WILL MOCK MY WEIGHT, MY DISABILITIES, MY POVERTY AND YES EVEN MY TOLIET! PLEASE IGNORE HIM.
uh lol
I bet your stalker is an old white male.
YES I DO BELIEVE YOU ARE 1000% CORRECT.
HONESTLY I DO NOT KNOW HOW HE STALKS ME. WHEREVER I GO DAY OR NIGHT HE SEEMS TO FIND ME. I HAVE NEVER POSTED HERE BEFORE BUT I BET HE WILL SHOW UP.
HE IS HORRIBLE AND POSTS TERRIBLE THINGS.
IT IS VERY SAD AND YES I DO BELIEVE HE IS white AND INDEED A DEVIL OR DEMON!!!!!!!!
I can’t believe it. IT”S 2016! Come on!
THERE IS INDEED SO MUCH RACISM AND HATE EVEN TODAY.
I HAVE SUFFERED A LIFE OF DISCRIMINATIONS AND SUFFERING AND INDEED I CALL THEM THE TEN DISCRIMINATIONS.
MANY PEOPLE STILL ARE FULL OF HATE.
SLAVERY REPARATIONS WILL HELP MEND THIS AND WE SHOULD GET REPARATIONS.
AND THAT RIGHT QUICK!
I will allow you the use of my wife. I’m sure my great great great great grand parents owned slaves. That’s my contribution.
I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT BUT INDEED SLAVERY IS A HORRIBLE CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.
THE TRUE STORY ROOTS BY ALEX HALEY SHOWED THE HORRORS OF SLAVERY INFLICTED ON POOR KUNTA KINTA AND INDEED THE EVILS OF SLAVERY.
SLAVERY REPARATIONS ARE DUE AND OWING AND COME TO ALMOST $10 MILLION PER PERSON.
HILLARY CLINTON IS IN FAVOR OF REPARATIONS AND INDEED THIS IS WHY BERNIE SANDERS IS NOT LIKED MUCH BY BLACK FOLKS.
HE IS NOT IN FAVOR OF SLAVERY REPARATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THAT IS TERRIBLE AND WRONG ESEPCIALLY IF YOU SAY YOU ARE A COMMUNIST LIKE HE DOES HE SHOULD BE IN FAVOR OF REPARATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE THE PEOPLE DO DEMAND SLAVERY REPARATIONS FOR EVILS OF SLAVERY AND JIM CROW AND THE CRIMINAL INJUSTICE SYSTEM AND THE MANY DISCRIMINATIONS THAT HAPPENED
I like you! Your form of humour would go over the head of a lot of people but i found your posts hilarious
THIS IS MY WELFARE APPLICATION PHOTO

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE HIM ENCOURAGEMENTS
I WAS TAKING A WELFARE SLEEP AND YES I AM ENCOURAGING WELFARE FOR MYSELF
I DO NOT GET THE WELFARE AND THE DOCTOR ORDERS 12 HOURS OR MORE OF SLEEP EVERY DAY

SO I CALL IT MY WELFARE NAPS
DOCTOR ORDERED REST WHICH I START IN A MINUTE

AND SOMETIMES I DEMAND MORE WELFARE
AND NO I HAVE NEVER PAID ANY TAXES OR INSURANCE PREMIUMS
SO WHAT. LOTS OF FOLKS CHOOSE THE WELFARE LIFE. THIS IS WHY WE HAVE WELFARE PROGRAMS.
FACT.
I REMEMBER WATCHING THE FICTIONAL COMEDY MOVIE ” ROOTS”
THEN I FOUND OUT ALEX HALEY STOLE THE STORY FROM A WHITE AUTHOR AND WAS SUED FOR STEALING.
THIS IS A LIE FAKE BIRDFISH.
A HORRIBLE LIE.
I READ THAT BOOK FROM THE white AUTHOR IT WAS NOT AT ALL LIKE ROOTS.
NOT AT ALL.
IT WASNT A VERY GOOD BOOK
I LIKED THE PART IN THE FICTIONAL COMEDY ROOTS WHEN TOBY WAS OUT STEALING A DRUM WHEN THE KIND GENEROUS WHITE MAN CAME AND OFFERED HIM A FREE BOAT RIDE WITH A SEAT BY THE WINDOW.
THIS IS A LIE
HE WAS MAKING A DRUM AND EVIL white SLAVERS TOOK HIM ON A HORRIBLE BOAT RIDE TO SLAVERY
ALSO HE WAS SELLING DRUGS
BUT THEN HE GOT A NICE BOAT RIDE WITH A WINDOW SEAT
THERE WERE NO WINDOWS IN THE SLAVE SHIPS!!!!
GOTCHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I THINK TOBY PLAYED SHUFFLEBOARD ON DECK AND RELAXED.
SICK!
POOR KUNTA KINTA SUFFERED SO MUCH
IT MAKES ME WEEP
BUT HE DID ENJOY PLAYING SHUFFLEBOARD ON DECK AND THE MIDNIGHT BUFFETS.
THAT IS TERRIBLE
THEY ONLY GAVE HIM HORRIBLE MUSH TO EAT
I SAW IT IN ROOTS
BUT TOBY GOT AN UPGRADE TO AN OUTSIDE ROOM WITH A BALCONY VIEW
HIS MASTER GOT IT FOR HIM
THIS IS A LIE.
I WILL CERTAINLY HAVE NIGHTMARES ABOUT THAT HORRIBLE PICTURE
TOSSING POOR BLACK FOLKS TO THE SHARKS OR TO DROWN
TOBY ENJOYED HIS CARIBBEAN CRUISE
IT WAS A HORRIBLE CARRIBEAN CRUISE ON A SLAVE SHIP.
IT WAS HORRIBLE AND HE ATE TERRIBLE GRUEL AND SOME FOLKS EVEN GOT TOSSED IN THE WATER TO THE SHARKS!
YES, TOSSED IN THE WATER!!!!!!!!!!!!
AND I REMEMBER FROM ROOTS A POOR BLACK SLAVE GIRL JUMPING TO HER DEATH INTO THE WATER BECAUSE whitey WANTED TO HAVE HIS WAY WITH HER BODY AS THE white MAN ALWAYS DOES DUE TO HIS EVIL CRAVINGS.
IT WAS HORRIBLE
I DONT EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE MY AFTER DIALYSIS NAP
BUT TOBY ENJOYED HIS WINDOW SEAT
HE DID NOT EVEN GET A WINDOW
HE WAS LOCKED IN A DARK HOLD
IT WAS A LIVING NIGHTMARE
TOBY ENJOYED PLAYING SHUFFLEBOARD ON DECK
WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THEY MADE THEM DANCE TO THE FIDDLE AS EXCERCISE WHICH WAS HUMILIATING AND WRONG
IT WAS NOT SHUFFLEBOARDS
TOBY ENJOYED HIS CARIBBEAN CRUISE
MASSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD SECTION 8 FIGHT IN GEORGIA WUTH WARRING TRIBES OF PAVEMENT PRIMATES BEATING EACH OTHER SENSELESS.
OF COURSE STARTS WITH RACHET GHETTO MAMMIE SOWS CLAPPING THEIR PAWS AND STOMPING THEIR HOOVES AND THE MEN INSTEAD OF STOPPING IT GET THEIR OBAMA PHONES OUT AND CHEER THEM ON!!!!!
THEN AS USUAL IT DOES NOT END UNTIL SOMEONE IS BLEEDING TO DEATH ON THE GROUND WITH THIS TIME A 18 YEAR OLD KILLED.
JUST BLACKS BEING BLACKS AS USUAL. BLACK LIVES DO NOT MATTER TO BLACKS UNLESS THEY CAN BLAME THE WHITE MAN.

BUT BLACKY LIKES TO RAP SONGS ABOUT SHOOTING PEOPLE AND KICKING CATS
WRONG!

THIS IS A TRUE FACT.
I DID NOT HAVE LUCKY TO GO TO COLLAGE BECAUSE OF THE TEN DISCRIMINATIONS

THERE ARE SAFETY RAILS AND A SITTING SHOWER AND A BIG DOOR
IT IS VERY NICE
MY LANDLORD SHOULD THANK ME FOR LIVING HERE AND HE SHOULD NOT MAKE ME PAY $38 WHEN HE IS GETTING ALMOST $1000 IN FREE MONEY EVERY MONTH FROM SECTION 8.

AFTER THE EASTER KWANZA FEASTING IT WILL BE TIME TO DIET
BUT THE PEOPLE KNOW THAT KWANZAA IS A FAKE HOLIDAY INVENTED BY A CONVICTED RAPIST
AND I AM A CONVICTED WELFARIST.
THIS IS NOT TRUE
KWANZA AND KWANZA EASTER ARE TRUE AFRICAN HOLIDAYS
AND NO I DO NOT EVEN GET THE WELFARES
BUT TRUE NOBODY IN AFRICA EVER HEARD OF THIS FAKE HOLIDAY.
IT WAS INVENTED A CONVICTED RAPIST FELON THAT KIDNAPPED, BEAT AND WHIPPED WOMEN.
BECAUSE THE BLACK MAN GETS VERY WHIPPY
THIS IS NOT TRUE
KWANZA IS A TRUE BLACK HOLIDAY
IT IS FROM AFRICA
IT WAS NOT INVETED IN AMERICA
AND NO THE BLACK MAN DOES NOT GET WHIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT THE INVENTOR OF FAKE KWANZAA WAS A CONVICTED RAPIST THAT WHIPPED WOMEN.
HE GOT WHIPPY
BUT PROBABLY I WILL STAY FAT AND LAZY SO I CAN GET MY FATPAY.

I WILL BE SLIMMING DOWN
AND THAT RIGHT QUICK
BUT FIRST I WILL PUT ON MORE WELFARE WEIGHT
NO
BUT YES I WILL EAT AT THE EASTER KWANZA FEAST

THE DOCTOR SAYS FAT LAZY BIRDFISH STOP EATING THAT WELFARE FOOD!!!
NO BUT THE DOCTOR WILL BE UPSET AT MY WEIGHT TODAY FROM MY FEASTING
BUT I WILL GO ON A DIET SOON
THIS IS WHY DOCTORS DON’T WANT TO WASTE TIME ON A SELF FATTENED WELFARE WALRUS

THEY KNOW IT IS FROM MY GLANDS NOT EATING
YOU CANT GAIN WHAT I DID JUST FROM FOOD IT HAS TO BE GLANDS
I GAINED MORE THAN THE FOOD WEIGHTED!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT I WILL NEED A WHITE MAN KIDNEY BECAUSE BLACK KIDNEYS USUALLY HAVE CRACK AND BULLET HOLES IN THEM.
FACT
NO
DOCTOR SAYS IT HAS TO BE A BLACK KIDNEY
THE BLACK BODY REJECTS white KIDNEYS
BUT I AM PRETTY SURE BLACK KIDNEYS CAN GO IN white BODIES BECAUSE THEY ARE STRONG
BUT BLACKY KIDNEYS MAKE PEOPLE FET SHOOTY AND CAT KICKY
THIS IS NOT TRUE
MOSTLY whites GET SHOOTY AND CAT KICKY
HOWEVER CRIME DATA SHOWS THAT BLACK MALES ARE ARRESTED IN EVERY OTHER MURDER THAT TAKES PLACE EACH YEAR.
AND THEY COMMIT 95% OF CAT KICKERY
THE CRIME DATA IS BIASED BECAUSE OF RACISM
AND I DONT THINK THE FBI EVEN FOLLOWS CAT KICKERY SO I KNOW YOU LIE!!!!!
GOTCHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT TRUE CRIME DATA SHOWS THAT THE BLACK MAN IS ARRESTED IN EVERY OTHER MURDER THAT TAKES PLACE EACH YEAR ALONG WITH OVER HALF OF ALL ROBBERY AND ONE IN EVERY THREE CASES OF ASSAULT AND RAPE.

CAT KICKERY IS NOT TRACKED AND CLEARLY whitey DOES IT THE MOST
HOWEVER BLACKY DOES GET VERY
STABBY
SHOOTY
BURNY
TAPEY
WHIPPY
PUNCHY
BOILY

TRUE FACT
THESE ARE TRAITS OF whitey.
TRUE FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!
END OF DISUCSSIONS
BUT TRUE THAT BLACK MALES ARE LESS THAN 7 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION AND ARE ARRESTED IN EVERY OTHER MURDER THAT TAKES PLACE.
THIS IS A LIE
THE BLACK MAN RARELY COMMITS SUCH CRIMES
I WAS WRONG
BLACKY ALSO COMMITS 57% OF ROBBERY
NO
BUT MANY TIMES whitey WEARS BLACKFACE WHEN HE GOES A ROBBING
AND EVEN THOUGH I DON’T REALLY KNOW WHAT LIBERAL MEANS, I DO LIKE WELFARE AND HANDOUTS AND IT SEEMS THE LIBERALS LIKE HILLARY TELL ME THAT I DESERVE MORE HANDOUTS IF I VOTE FOR THEM
THE TRUTH IS AI NEVER VOTED ONCE IN MY LIFE
BUT I DO WANT MORE WELFARE AND HILLARY SAYS I CAN GET IT!!!

I WORK AND HAVE ALWAYS-YES ALWAYS-WORKED.
FOR YEARS I CLEANED UP AROUND THE CHURCH AS A JOB. NOW I CANT GET AROUND TO DO THAT BUT I BABY SIT ACROSS THE WAY.
THESE ARE FACTS FAKE BIRDFISH!
SO THERE!!!!!
I HAVE SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF THE POLICE!
1) WHEN I WAS ABOUT 16 I WAS IN A CAR WITH A COUPLE OTHER GUYS AND THE POLICE PULLED US OVER. I WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE COP MADE US ALL GET OUT. WE HADN’T DONE ANYTHING WRONG BUT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR ROBBERY SUSPECTS FROM A HOUSE ROBBERY. WELL, IT WASN’T US. WE WERE OUT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I TOLD THE COP IT WAS NOT US. HE THOUGHT I SOUNDED DISPECTFUL AND ASKED ME WHO I THOUGHT I WAS. I TOLD HIM SUPERMAN!
.
HE CUFFED ME, SLAMMED ME TO THE GROUND FACE DOWN INTO THE GRAVEL ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. HE THEN STEPPED ON THE BACK OF MY HEAD WITH THE FULL FORCE OF HIS WEIGHT AND GROUND MY FACE INTO THE GRAVEL. MY FACE WAS BLOODY AND FULL OF ROCKS WHEN I CAME UP AND I HAVE SCARS ON MY FACE TO THIS VERY DAY! AFTER THAT THE COPS LET US ALL GO.
.
2) ABOUT A YEAR LATER I WAS ARRESTED AND IN THE BACK OF A SQUAD CAR. I HAD BEEN ARRESTED BECAUSE I WAS FOUND SLEEPING IN THE BACK SEAT OF A CAR AND THE DRIVER WHO WAS NOT ME HAD BEEN CAUGHT ROBBING. I WAS JUST SLEEPING. I GOT A LITTLE LIPPY WITH THE COP AND WHILE CUFFED IN THE BACK OF THE SQUAD CAR HE PUT ON BLACK LEATHER GLOVES THAT WERE FILLED WITH SAND. HE HAD THOSE RIGHT IN THE COP CAR! I AM SURE I WAS NOT THE FIRST PERSON OR THE LAST HE USED THEM ON! AND HE BEAT ME SILLY! I GOT RELEASED A COUPLE DAYS LATER AND CHARGES WERE DROPPED.
.
3) ANOTHER TIME I WAS IN A SQUAD CAR CUFFED AND THE COP TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO TAKE ME BEHIND A GARAGE AND BEAT ME LIKE A N-WORD! YES, HE SAID THAT! THAT TIME HE DIDN’T ACTUALLY BEAT ME THOUGH HE JUST THREATENED ME!
.
4) ANOTHER TIME I WAS ARRESTED IN THE BACK OF A COP CAR AND THE COP GRABBED MY TE.STICLES AND SQUEEZED THEM SO HARD THAT I JUST ABOUT BLACKED OUT. IT WAS EVEN A WORSE PAIN THAN WHEN THE COP GROUND MY FACE INTO THE GRAVEL! HE DID IT BECAUSE I HAD GOTTEN LIPPY WITH HIM. LET ME TELL YOU, WHEN YOU ARE HAVING YOUR TESTICL.ES SQUEEZED YOU WILL CONFESS TO SHOOTING KENNEDY IF THEY WANT YOU TO!
.
5) I NEVER GOT IN ANY TROUBLE AGAIN AFTER I WENT TO STATEVILLE AND DID MY TIME BUT ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO THE COPS CAME RIGHT TO MY APARTMENT. A COUPLE OF MY KIDS WERE LIVING WITH ME BACK THEN. THEY CAME BECAUSE THEY SAID THE MUSIC WAS TOO LOUD. BUT I WAS SOUND ASLEEP AND THERE WAS NO MUSIC IN MY APARTMENT! WELL THEY CAME IN ILLEGALLY WITHOUT A WARRANT AND WHEN I WOKE UP THE APARTMENT WAS FULL OF COPS. YOU’D THINK THERE WAS A RIOT GOING ON OR SOMETHING. IT WAS RIDICULOUS! WELL I DEMANDED THEY ALL LEAVE AND THEY LAUGHED AT ME! I THEN STARTED DEMANDING MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND WRITING DOWN BADGE NUMBERS. THEY STOPPED LAUGHING. THEY TOLD ME IN A RUDE WAY TO GET MY BEHIND BACK TO BED ALTHOUGH THEY DIDN’T SAY BEHIND AND THEY MADE MOCKING COMMENTS ON MY WEIGHT. I TOLD THEM I WAS DEMANDING MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS! WELL, THEY ARRESTED ME, RIGHT IN MY HOME! I WENT TO THE LOCAL LOCKUP. I FIGURED I WOULD GET BEATEN WITH SAND FILLED GLOVES OR MAYBE HAVE MY TE.STICLES SQUEEZED BUT I WILL NOT GIVE FALSE WITNESS. THEY DIDN’T DO NONE OF THAT. THEY JUST PUT ME IN A CELL AND I SANG AND PRAYED ALL NIGHT. THE NEXT MORNING THE CAPTAIN LET ME GO WITH NO CHARGES!
.
OF COURSE, I NEVER GOT ANY MONEY FROM ANY OF THESE CRIMES AGAINST ME. THESE SORTS OF THINGS GO ON EVERY SINGLE DAY! THE COPS ABUSE FOLKS AND TORTURE FOLKS ALL THE TIME!
AND THAT IS A FACT!
SO AS A RUN DOWN OF MY LIFE…
BORN IN THE GHETTO, NEVER KNEW MY FATHER
GOT KICKED OUT OF SCHOOL IN THE 4TH GRADE TO GO TO JAIL
DOING HARD TIME I MET CELL MATE RUFUS, LEARNED THAT OBESITY EQUALS WELFARE
GOT OUT OF JAIL, STARTED PACKING ON THE WEIGHT TOWARDS MY GOAL OF 492LBS
BY 1976, COULD NO LONGER SEE MY FEET, NO EMPLOYERS WOULD HIRE ME
APPLIED FOR EVERY WELFARE PROGRAM POSSIBLE
FAST FORWARD 40 YEARS LATER, STILL 492LBS, NEVER WORKED A JOB, NEVER PAID TAXES, NEVER PAID INSURANCE PREMIUMS, GETTING EVERY GOVERNMENT ENTITLEMENT POSSIBLE INCLUDING FREE SECTION 8, FREE GAS AND HEAT, FREE ELECTRICITY, CABLE, INTERNET, FOOD STAMPS, LINK CARD, FREE HEALTH CARE AND HOSPITAL STAYS, FREE PRESCRIPTIONS, FREE OBAMA PHONE AND A FREE WELFARE TOILET
NEXT I AM WORKING TO GET A FREE WELFARE FAT SCOOTER AND A NEW WELFARE COUCH
FACT!!!!!!
SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PAY SOME OF MY GAS BILLS AND I USE TO HAVE TO PAY SOME OF MY LIGHT BILL BUT NOW THEY CANT TURN OFF MY LIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE SLEEPING APNEA MACHINE THAT REQUIRES ELECTRICITY AND I HAVE A FORM SAYING THEY CANT TURN OFF MY LIGHTS NO MATTER WHAT.
I KNOW YOU MOCK ME BUT I AM VERY POOR AND THESE HELPING HANDS ARE NEEDED
I AM VERY TIRED AND HAVE EVEN MORE DIALYSIS TODAY
BUT I AM POOR BECAUSE I NEVER WOULD WORK A JOB
I TRADED MY HEALTH FOR A LIFE OF WELFARE
I GOT FATSICK SO I COULD GET MY FATPAY
THIS IS A LIE.
I JUST GOT BACK FROM A HARD DAY OF DIALYSIS. THE PEOPLE THERE CANT BELIEVE HOW MUCH DIALYSIS I NEED. THEY NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE. I AM THERE MORE THAN DOUBLE WHAT A NORMAL PERSON NEEDS.
AND NO IT IS NOT FROM EATING AND NOT FOLLOWING A DIET. THE DOCTOR THERE ASKED IF I FOLLOWED A DIET AND THE OTHER DOCTOR SAID LOOK AT HIM WHICH WAS VERY INSULTING BECAUSE I TOLD THEM I HAVE VERY GOOD HEARING AND YES I DO WATCH MY DIET AND AM SLIMMING DOWN SOON.
I AM VERY SICK AND WOULD LIKE TO BE HEALTHY EVEN IF I HAD TO WORK ALTHOUGH NOW I AM TO OLD TO WORK ANYWAY.
NOW I NEED A NAP
ALSO THE PEOPLE CANNOT BELIEVE HOW FAT AND LAZY I AM
THIS WAS MY MUGSHOT YEARS AGO WHEN I WAS THINNER

AND I ALMOST FORGOT FATISM, LAZYISM AND WELFARISM.
AND MY WITCH DOCTOR SAYS I ALSO SUFFER FROM CHRONIC HOGISM.
Don’t be bigots. Get educated. Dump Trump. Lambright 2016!
Um, yeah, hi? I was told we’re supposed to call him Drumpf.
TRUMP 2016!
Some Africans have no water, no food, and a mud hut, yet these morons are making a big deal over chalk. What ever happened to tolerance?
This is for reels. Do not make light of this. FEELINGS WERE HURT.
“The University will review footage “up by the hospital [from] security cameras” to identify those who made the chalkings, Wagner told the protesters. He also added that if they’re students, they will go through the conduct violation process”
The what?! What conduct have they violated?! If it’s like any other college campus, people chalk sidewalks and buildings all the time for any reason, to promote an event, to give you free pizza. It’s accepted practice. Supporting a political candidate is not an offense! If I were the students who wrote the messages, I would sue the University.
they’ll need “diversity training” in the very least
Lots of universities have policies for what can be chalked on campus. A brief internet search of “university chalk rules” yielded the University of Florida, Baylor, the University of Wisconsin, Purdue, and other universities. To use the University of Florida’s policy as an example, they restrict chalking to a particular area, to student organizations or university groups, and to people who run the space (the “Director of the Reitz Union”).
Violations of these policies is fairly common, and universities do often go after students. There are a few issues – public writing on university property can be construed as the university supporting that speech; universities maintain a right to regulate the appearance of their own buildings and property; universities don’t want to pay the cost of cleaning places, especially those not directly exposed to rain.
These concerns are not driven by content. Several of the Trump signs on campus violated these rules, which are not based on the content of speech. While I agree that asking for a ban of speech based on content would be wrong, the Trump supporters should have kept within university rules that regulate all speech regardless of content.
We don’t even know who the chalker was. For all we know, it could be an SJW provocateur, like the Bernie Sanders supporters described here:
NBC News: How Bernie Sanders Supporters Shut Down Donald Trump’s Rally in Chicago
It could be, though there’s no evidence of that.
The university president and vice president can’t stand up to these people. That’s the problem every time. Trump does stand up to them. That’s why these people are so upset. And that’s why I’m voting for him.
I would love to be in charge of a University where this happens, just to give these idiots a good smackdown and set an example.
Correct, it’s (almost) hard to be mad at the kids when the real problem is man-girls like the university president that enable this behavior in the first place.
Ha love the exposure of the true idiots of the world … or in this case Emory University students ..how embarrassing…
Jonathan Peraza, resounded “You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!” throughout the Quad.
“We are in pain”. Because someone wrote the name “Trump” on a sidewalk. In chalk. (For non-STEM majors, chalk is a substance that can be removed with a wet sponge).
I am in a position to hire Emory graduates. So are many others, especially in the Atlanta area, who are aware of the pathetic spectacle unfolding on your campus. Please be advised that an Emory degree has become worthless. You people are unemployable. And you’ve done it to yourselves. Good luck to you. You’ll need it.
Thank you!!! There needs to be repercussions for this immaturity and they should not be rewarded when there are mature, intelligent Americans who would appreciate a scary adult job full of “pain, sweat and honest hard work”. I hear the school of hard knocks is accepting applications.
This is what a generation of children raised with “time outs,” no competition, participation medals and pass or fail grading will get you. Campuses full of little hypersensitive children. Watch out when you get into the REAL world kids. No “safe zones” out here. #iweepforourfuture
Look at the young Stasi.
They are the enemies of this nation, our liberties and what is left of our freedoms.
They and the donors that spawned them are the antithesis of what this great nation was built upon.
The University should be closed for a year out of respect for the victims of this horrible tragedy and injustice. A memorial taking up the space of several former academic houses should be constructed immediately sparing no expense.
Seriously though it appears extremely poor leadership and rampant political agendas have allowed a nothing silliness to become a distracting issue. You all look utterly ridiculous.
I did not know that Emory offered a degree in co-dependency.
What a bunch of snotnose wimps! Go back to the first grade.Where are the parents of these freeloaders. Put them in timeout and give them their passies!
These are the HATE groups who don’t allow free speech. Where are you Sharpton on free speech!
They should remind these whinny liberals that freedom of speech gives everyone including the students the right to express themselves and there views extra
and if they are against the freedom of speech then leave the school !
Punctuation 2016!
https://youtu.be/uQJ8WrKnLUs
I grew up during the Vietnam War. That was painful.
My father was a World War II veteran. He experienced great pain.
Chalk on steps is not painful. Grow up!
And these are members of our educated generation.
This type of behavior starts in the household there parents are at fault the parents are liberal and very weak with there children I bet most of them never had there behinds whipped for disrespecting there parents and they got away with pretty much anything think about this these will be the people running this country when we are old
I don’t like Trump at all –AT ALL–but this is beyond parody. How do students come to believe it’s an outrageous violation of their rights for the school not to punish expressions of support for a candidate for a major party’s Presidential nomination?
Anyone who needs therapy over this non-event just doesn’t have what it takes to make any real difference in the world.
I’M VOTING FOR TRUMP 2016 AND YOU KNOW WHY BECAUSE OF THESE STUDENTS
Shouldn’t the university investigate whomever defaced the chalking too? Seems to be just as much a rule violation as the unlicensed chalking.
Any student upset at a “Trump 2016” written in chalk on the sidewalk is too immature for college.
They’re too immature for life!
I do a lot of hiring for a large technology company. I would not go to Emory to interview. We don’t need whiny babies that will spend all their time whining to personnel. We need people that want to work hard and grow the company. You cry babies are in for a rude awakening.
Can you even IMAGINE working with these people? They couldn’t make it an hour without feeling “unsafe” about something. The entire universe must stop what it’s doing and cater to their every emotion.
No I can’t. I do have questions that are very legal that I can ask. They are good at weeding out the these types of students.
1. Can you name a time when you had to earn your money to get what you wanted.
2.How did or how would you handle a situation where you felt like your rights or ideas where ignored.
3. What did you do when you where told NO about something that you wanted to do, try or buy.
Curious on #2, isn’t the infringement of rights worse than ideas being ignored? If it were ideas being ignored, I’m used to do that because of how asinine some colleagues and bosses can be, but rights? I think that’s something anyone should do something about. 1 and 3 are good questions, especially 1, I can imagine many stuttering already lol.
As an Emory student I find that decision quite disappointing. These are just 50 retarded kids, which is about 0.3% of the 14 thousand students here. The majority of the students here dislike these crybabies just as much as the next guy. Putting that stigma on all of us just because we happened to go to the same school is a bit unfair at the very least.
If you care so much, it is essential for you sane folks at Emory to release a list of these 50 retarded kids, so the world knows who not to hire in future.
Then if that’s so, why not write #Trump2016 in chalk since you are a student there.
It’s okay allow 50 crybabies to stifle the freedom of speech? I think not.
For more tonygreene113.com
It’s not fair to the rest of the students when the administration chooses to give this insanity credence by doing what they want. I guarantee there are several job applicants going in for interviews today that will have their resume tossed in the trash simply b/c it has “Emory University” on it.
Fortunately, we live in a world of 24 hour news, so this will likely be forgotten until the next contingent of college safe spacers do something of the like at another school…then you’ll be off the hook. Hang in there.
Yes, you are right it probably does not reflect the student body there. After thinking about it overnight I believe the problem is with the administrators. If it is truly a small amount of students the administrator should use it as a life lesson. They should not allow a small crowd of crybabies to dictate the school policy. It reflects poorly on the school and the fine students at Emory. Society and me in this case are to fast to lump everything together. Unfortunately in are current society we allow a small amount of people to dictate how we should live. We are all at fault for allowing it to happen.
Doesn’t really make sense, as whoever left the 2016 chalkings was probably a student who was, apparently rightfully afraid to post that message in daylight.
For a presidential candidate, ffs. They tell us universities are hotbeds of systemic racism… Were black students being threatened with disciplinary actions for writing “Obama 2008”? Or afraid to do so where it might be seen by fellow students?
Trump 2016!
I’m going to post “Trump” at my local colleges. Great idea.
These children don’t feel “safe” because someone wrote Trump 2016? In chalk? On cement?
There is stiff competition from schools like Oberlin, Bowdoin, and Yale, but it certainly looks like Emory has the very worst crybullies in America.
Pat yourselves on the back, you future unemployables.
ANTI-TRUMP PROTESTERS Admit Answering Craigslist Ad and Getting Paid to Protest Trump – See more at: http://www.teaparty.org/anti-trump-protesters-admit-answering-craigslist-ad-getting-paid-protest-trump-150811/#sthash.xCNLiVux.dpuf
When I interview students I like to ask these question after all the technical questions
1. Can you name a time when you had to earn your money to get what you wanted.
2.How did or how would you handle a situation where you felt like your rights or ideas where ignored.
3. What did you do when you where told NO about something that you wanted to do, try or buy.
Can you imagine how these students would answer them
Why is reality turning into satire before my very eyes?
Something very bad has happened when college students act this entitled over someone else’s expressions of political opinion.
I wonder how long the Anglo-Saxon traditions of free expression are going to last in this country.
They are the new brown shirts and they don’t even know it. How sad…how entitled.
That’s why they are called “cry-bullies”…
How are these children ever going to deal with the real world? Everything offends them. Everything sends them running for therapy. They seem to be in perpetual fear of their own shadows. They are the biggest bunch of crybabies I have seen in 60 years of life.
The article didn’t say how many students were hospitalized.
I hope they’re okay.
It’s embarrassing that the US has kids who think like this. Personally I think they’re not afraid or in pain but are being manipulative little brats…knowing that when kids feel threatened in school action occurs. Well this is a college, next stop …the real world… and they should tell them to grow up and send them on their way. I’d hate to have to work with these clowns.
BREAKING NEWS!
College students feel so victimized by a political viewpoint different from their own that they forget how chalk works!!!!
Lets ask a few questions about this….
How did they even get into a college?
What will they do after college in the magical place known as “the real world?”
What is scarier? Trump or the next generation of Americans’ apparent lack of any critical thinking skills whatsoever?
Oh yeah TRIGGER WARNING if you are allergic to freedom of speech this might offend you….
I can’t believe I was looking forward to college growing up and at college I’m surrounded by kids who apparently haven’t grown up yet and still want to act like babies. I feel ashamed to be from the same generation as these idiots.
We know that there are many of you who aren’t like this. It is just that these examples are so embarrassingly idiotic that is casts a bad light. Keep proving the naysayers wrong.
This is an embarrassment to the nation; the wussification of America is finally complete.
How long before they start demanding reeducation camps for anyone who doesn’t think exactly like them?
They are doing that now by demanding the school clamp down on any speech they disagree with.
A few months in the peace corp in the sudan would do this lot good.
lol look at these weak-chinned faggots crying about a chalk sign
they have a bright future being food for the Muslim and Mexican conquerors
Send them all to Syria or Somalia. They can complain about the chalking there too.
The greatest enemy is not hatred, it is indifference. If they are passionate enough to protest against us, they can be converted over to our cause. Don’t give up hope. Win their hearts and minds through reasoned argument. They will be our most loyal supporters once they are won over!
Remember, former communists were among the most fanatical Nazis in the Third Reich. We, the right-wing, can convert the left-wing radicals to forge a new fascist movement in America! We don’t need to hide the fact that we, Trump supporters, are fascists. I admit I am, and we should embrace it. We are in a struggle for survival against the Mexican and Muslim invaders and I will support whatever measures my leader, Trump, takes in order to protect the white race from these elements that seek our subjugation and marginalization.
Sieg Heil!
Take your anti-semitism and shove it. Trump doesn’t hate Jews, Mexicans, or any other group. He’s simply from a time where people did spin everything into PC BS.
Jay, you are as insane as those kids. No, you’re worse, much much worse.
What a bunch of morons! A family member graduated from Emory — that family member is VOTING FOR TRUMP — OMG — are you “AFRAID” you bunch of HILLARY CLINTON IDIOTS!
Perhaps the “trauma” of seeing the word “TRUMP” will cause this band of IDIOTS to drop out and get educated at a HILLARY CLINTON “fun camp”!
Hillary Clinton: “Young blacks are superpredators. They must be brought to heel.”
You are a liar. That’s not a quote at all. She did not mention blacks once in her statement, although I guess people with guilty consciences read that into her statement. Here is her statement:
“We need to take these people on, they are often connected to big drug cartels, they are not just gangs of kids anymore. They are often the kinds of kids that are called ‘super-predators’—no conscience, no empathy, we can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel…”
By the way, I hate Hillary Clinton—almost as much as I hate people who make things up to suit their agenda.
Read a newspaper, Snowflake idiot liberal.
Wow you are thick as a goddamned brick. I’m voting Trump all the way.
The people with “guilty consciences” are the Black Lives Matter tools who assumed she was talking about blacks. She didn’t mention blacks. I’ve provided the ACTUAL quote that you misquoted.
You’re telling me to READ? READ her actual quote and don’t make things up. Her actual quote did not mention blacks AT ALL.
You are as dumb as a toadstool. I’m voting Trump all the way.
Read? Why do I need to READ the quote when the VIDEO of her quote—which I quoted accurately word-for-word—is on the website of The Washington Post? Blacks are not mentioned. You lied. Admit it, liar.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/politics/watch-hilary-clintons-controversial-1996-super-predators-comment/2016/02/26/1d0dcce4-dc88-11e5-8210-f0bd8de915f6_video.html
Go f* cking kill yourself. She said it.
Well, there ARE legions of super-predators — but they come in all colors and sizes. The majority of the predators just happen to be black. Please refer to the Department of Justice Uniform Crime Reports.
HEY! We found Waldo!
This is just the weirdest! Students are begging a university to suppress free speech and the university is complying. What has become of the “college experience”? These kids should be getting drunk and jogging in the nude!
Hey college students! This should be your only fear!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw03mtr6uOg
What a bunch of babies! I can’t stand Trump either but I believe in free speech. And it’s chalk! Just wash it off and stop whining about hurt feelings. You are making yourselves look like whiny, weak-minded fools. College students are so lame these days.
If “Trump 2016” written in chalk causes you to feel fear, you don’t know what fear is.
What these adult infants “deserve” is a one way ticket to Raqqa.
These endless marchingmorons only prove that if it talks like a turd, walks like a turd, smells like a turd and looks like a turd it is a classic Emory student chunk of sewage.
“We have nothing to lose but our chains.” Hahahahaha.
The words of Assata Shakur, who is on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list. Though she stole the last line from the Communist Manifesto.
I’m no fan of Trump…I’m a liberal…and I’m appalled by these kids’ wimp factor.
Pure histrionics, is what it seems like to me. Good grief. These people must have seen worse on bathroom stalls.
These hysterical bedwetters are only going to drive voters INTO the Trump camp, not away from it.
This country is infested with little crybaby idiots. Just more proof that we need a man like Trump in the WH.
My son is commissioning as an officer in the US Marine Corps on Saturday. He and all of the other young men and women in our armed forces prove that not all young people are fearful intimidated losers like these kids at Emory.
Please tell your son that I congratulate him and thank him for his service.
Same here, thanks for his service – USAF 1982-1988.
Amen & God Bless Them !!
The creepiest generation.
If this is indicative of what passes for intelligence at Emory, then I suggest the Seniors start practicing, “would you like any flavors with your Starbuck grande latte?”
How about a side of milquetoast?
One more “institute of higher learning” off the list for my children.
Wow what a bunch of pu**ies
I guess free speech, freedom of ideas, political discourse, and debate are “values regarding diversity and respect that clash with Emory’s own.” These kids need a spanking and sent to their dorms without dinner! The president needs to be fired!
Our universities are teaching totalitarianism and not the constitution. We need to take back our universities and make them bastions of higher education and freedom and not left wing political propaganda machines.
This in early April Fools joke right ? No way this is an actual true article ?
If some works scribbled in chalk cause you all this much pain and distress, please kill yourself now, because you’re never going to make it in the real world, where no one cares about your feelings.
oh! boo-hoo! another example of privileged microaggressions or rather just socialistic bullshit. afraid, fearful; really? trump doesn’t equate hate. there is way too much emotion and not near enough logic. get real and/or grow a pair.
The behavior of these students is manipulative and mendacious. They are not suffering and in pain. They are not just crybabies. They are dogmatists and tyrants who are trying to suppress freedom of thought and expression by claiming to be victims who are oppressed and denied their human rights.
This is much more serious than it appears to those who think the students are merely spoiled and pampered. Though the latter may be true, the real agenda is to eliminate the freedom of others to hold and express opinions with which the students happen to disagree.
The craven and cowardly behavior of president Wagner is typical of university administrators who have long permitted the lunatics to run the asylum. Students are supposed to go to school and university to study, learn and prepare themselves for responsible citizenship and productive careers. Instead, since the Sixties, the truly bizarre notion has taken root that students are somehow wise and enlightened, agents of social justice, and that they are going to university, not to learn, but to teach – to protest, complain, demand, demonstrate and throw hissy fits and temper tantrums until the university gives them what their immature and unenlightened and uneducated minds want.
It is really a disgrace to see out universities misused in this way and to watch those entrusted with operating them and educating future citizens abdicate and betray their responsibilities in case after case in their Neville Chamberlain-like attempts to appease and ingratiate themselves with ignorant and manipulative students who do not know why they are enrolled in a university and who misuse and abuse that privilege to act up and act out their childish fantasies.
These progressives are more often than not some of the most racist and bigoted people I have ever come across and witnessed.
Shame on them for saying this is the reason for getting low grades. Maybe they should use the university’s classes and faculty properly instead of using the entire location as a soapbox for their immature opinions.
Well said!
This is what happens when the kids who received “participation” trophies just for showing up get to college. Your parents failed you.
Is this an attention gathering scheme? C’mon, it can’t be real! Wait until Trump gets elected and then the university will have to offer consultation to students affected by his election.
“Faculty are supporting this rhetoric by not ending it,” Wait, who are the fascists again?
LOL, you Emeroids aren’t talking about the Bernie and Hitlery support there are you?
Oh, Poor Wittle Emory Snowflakes. America is now raising a bunch of Perpetually Offended Cowards. I will now NEVER hire anyone that graduated from this Ridiculous Institution.
Can I use “Perpetually Offended Cowards”? After all, I don’t want to steal from you and force you to go to your safe space…. 🙂
Come force me into my Safe Space, Snowflake., Dare ya.
feral leftists are weak and are the shame of our generation
I am not sure whether this is scary or hilarious. Get these kindergartners some babysitters. Stat!
BOTH !!! No Doubt !! The best one today !
Someone expressed support for an idea I do not support. I therefore feel unsafe and they must be silenced. The school has not joined me in my disagreement with the sentiment, therefore they must be in solidarity with those I disagree with.
So they don’t understand just what a freedom of expression is all about.
They don’t understand why “with us or against us” is just wrong.
And the level of paranoia in the “what is inevitable” person is almost palpable.
Emory Chalking Protestors, please do not scroll down the comment section of this post. It is not a safe space and you may be in need of hours of counseling and “discussion” to recover if you read any further. Seriously, grow up. This is beyond embarrassing. Instead of moving along with your day while someone POURED WATER on the big bad chalk to make it go bye-bye, you petty narcissistic twits had to be heard. I love this Mark Twain quote: “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” You don’t like your grades? You’re either not working hard enough or you’re not smart enough. Which one is it? We need more dignity and shame in the culture, because by looking at these actions, it is evident that you all have none.
I think maybe they just want a little attention, If it said Clinton 2016 or Bernie or Cruz 2016 I’d be much more worried …Trump isnt the problem …It is the established career criminals in all of Washington, that would rather he not be there. And in order for that to happen ,they are fabricating lies and sending those troublemakers to all of Trumps events.It amazes me that such educated students do not seem to know how to dig up the real truth about these so-called real Politicians.Instead they listen to whatever the Media(A very Biased source) tells and believe it …Stop being sheep and find out for yourselves where to place the blame for all thats been said and done .
What a bunch of whiny pathetic children! Trump is a political candidate. Some on campus – and elsewhere across the country – support him. You did not see the conservative students whimpering and crying in 2008 when you could not spit without seeing an Obama sign – even thought the KNEW what destruction such a poor choice for president would bring.
GROW UP!
I despise Trump but, good grief, these college students are such delicate little flowers these days!
Parents, this is what your 50K a year buys you. Kids so fragile that they are terrified by chalk markings. I bet you wish that 50K was going into your 401k right now instead.
Emory is $63,000. A YEAR. But, I’m sure they’ll spend that money on “safe spaces”.
A four year safe space for your kid…$240K.
The look on that kid’s face when they graduate and realize that the world isn’t a safe space…priceless.
We are in soft mode.
This is why no one respects millennials. Bunch of whiny entitled brats that demand to live in their own “safe space”.
Someone is pro Trump? Tough! No coping skills whatsoever. Pathetic.
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom.” Unless we disagree with what you say, then it’s our duty to take away your right to free speech! How dare you support a candidate that we disagree with! Where’s my safe space? Anyone seen my safe space? If I don’t find a safe space, I will lay down and kick and scream until someone coddles me!
Should we not have background checks for everyone who wants to buy chalk? The mean words are written with chalk – a dangerous tool in the hands of dangerous people. Perhaps chalk manufacturers should be sued for making a product that was used for the intended purpose. Just so upset – I cant find my safe space or my “free hugs” hugger.
GO TO PURDUE UNIVERSITY – Academic Freedom and Freedom of Speech
Freedom of thought and expression are the lifeblood of our academic community and require an atmosphere of mutual respect among diverse persons, groups and ideas. The maintenance of mutually respectful behavior is a precondition for the vigorous exchange of ideas, and it is the policy of the University to promote such behavior in all forms of expression and conduct. The University reaffirms its commitment to freedom of speech as guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Accordingly, any form of speech or conduct that is protected by the First Amendment is not subject to this policy. The University reaffirms its commitment to academic freedom, which is essential to its educational mission and is critical to diversity and intellectual life.
Emory – Home of the Fighting VaJayJays
Wait a minute. People have signs that are supportive of Trump, and this makes other students feel scared and want to protest? Good riddance, you wussies.
Boy , you are on a roll today ~
Yet rioting and blocking streets in support of Bernie Sanders is ok? But God forbid (oops, I said God, safe space safe space!) someone has a different opinion and innocently shows it.
I hope these students read the comments here
I don’t think their safe space has internet access.
They would die , you know , from the Fear & Pain ~~~
Emory is now a laughingstock and the administration is to blame just as much as these immature, childish, ignorant students
More so ! They should be fired & take the idiot kids with them !
It’s a bit early for an Aprl Fool’s prank, isn’t it?
NO !!!
The council, the University President all should have addressed it by saying that the offended and scared students need to toughen up.
ISIS doesn’t need to do a thing, just let the upcoming generation continue to destroy this country.
I wonder when ‘Trump’ will become the ‘T’ word?
I think it just did !
Someone Call A Whaaaaaaaaambulance.
In 1944, 17 18 19 year old kids were storming the beaches of Normandy. Now we have Snowflakes
Pull the NROTC and the ROTC program from that school. No war fighters coming from there. Imagine the horror if the student cafeteria runs out of free range chicken.
‘I thought “Ok, we don’t have any free range chicken; that’s ok, to a certain extent. Then I got further down the line, and they were out of kale burgers. Completely out. This was alarming to me and violated my meat and gender free neutral safe zone space.’
Seriously, if they are this traumatized by chalk writing that they don’t agree with (as I’m certain if it were for something agreed with, they would have no issues) they should seriously consider throwing themselves in to wood chippers. That is the only way they will ever be useful to society.
You are Racist !! Poor Wood Chippers ! what did they ever do to you ??
Ironic, these same socially stunted kids that go into an emotional melt down when a man exercises his right of free speech or they see word boo boos written in chalk somewhere couldn’t care less that the university they attend is part of the Yerkes National Primate Research Center where they torture thousands of primates daily, not only killing them in the most brutal ways imaginable but using them to create biological weapons in the sense they create diseases that exist no where else in the natural world…. I can see they are all very traumatized over that too.
Well ! That is Not Hurtful or Painful !!! IT IS THE *CHALK * Doing All The Damage !!
OMG, These Poor Kids !!! *-*
We are raising a nation of pansies. God help these little cry babies when they venture into the real world.
This is a spoof, right? The country that produced “The Greatest Generation” can’t possibly have become this weak minded and pathetic.
The Hitler youth of tomorrow… Imagine when they get into the real world, and find out crying, whining, and stupidfication doesn’t fly…
I would say Mao’s Red Guard is a more apt comparison. They aspire to ride a bicycle, wear unadorned clothing, eat brown rice and live in a shipping container when they grow up.
After this experience, I wouldn’t be surprised if Wagner decides he needs to vote for Trump. Talk about too much political correctness!
You college students are adults…act like it. God help the poor souls who have to interview these babies for jobs.
Yep, you don’t get participation trophies in the real world. Someone’s going to get a promotion that you don’t. Someone’s going to get a raise that you don’t. Someone’s going to get singled out for good work when the credit goes to you, not the other guy.
Is Mr. Obs teaching at this school ??
By no means do I support Trump, but these kids need to grow up. We’ve raised a nation of sissies.
Well congrats, children. You just made your university the laughingstock of America.
I’m laughing so hard at Emory University that my sides hurt.
You are not alone !
What a bunch of babies.
How pathetic – how weak! “I’m supposed to feel safe” …. Actually, most colleges and universities need to be closed. They have utterly failed in their mission to assist in the creation of capable adults.
The students would learn a lot by being sent out into the countryside to work on farms. Chairman Mao would approve.
Unbelievable – these people vote. Be afraid, America, be very afraid not so much of ISIS, but of the Emory college students.
If Trump’s name is all it takes to strike fear into their hearts, voting is going to be problematic.
I loved this part: “supporting this rhetoric by not ending it.”
Translation: You’d better be willing to step on someone’s rights for me, act like my inane complaints should be taken seriously, and treat me like I’m automatically right, or your not on my side.
can we please raise the age for voting!!!
This just in. Chalk has been banned from being sold in all Emory student stores. You can see chalk in the National Wussification Museum, next to dodge ball, soda machines and the scoreboard.
unless of course it is to write BLM
How embarrassing that this is the future of America. It’s so disheartening to think I spent years of my life fighting for these kid’s right to be stupid. Wake up kids, it’s the real world and everyone has an opinion, despite your best effort to stop anyone but yours from being heard……
They actually have no clue ! How sad / scary !
In his University-wide email, Wagner wrote that he intends to implement “immediate refinements to certain policy and procedural deficiencies, regular and structured opportunities for difficult dialogues, a formal process to institutionalize identification, review and [the] addressing of social justice opportunities and issues and a commitment to an annual retreat to renew our efforts.” Wagner added in his email that the previous day’s chalkings represented “values regarding diversity and respect that clash with Emory’s own.”
I can’t stop laughing at this gibberish. If you ever hear anyone speak like this, or write like this, walk away, they are not human and should be avoided. They are pod people. Not even someone suffering from tertiary syphilis would write this way. I would urge pity, but since this is obviously a self-inflicted mental disorder, and one learned only at places like Emory, I can only counsel contempt. Contempt is the right position, pure unadulterated contempt for everything and everyone involved in this farce. The idiocy of the chalk is one thing, the high dungeon seriousness with which these fools were entertained by even bigger fools is another thing entirely. Emory can never be a serious school while such a frivolous man presides over it, but it sounds like he is surrounded by a cast of equally disgraceful characters who will fill he shoes if he leaves.
This event must mark some kind of low point of Western Civilization, one so debased and so immaterial that not even a great satirist like Swift could pillory it. Chalk, yes, chalk, the great chalk scandal, the war of the chalk. Speaking of war, war had better come, better come fast, or we are all doomed. Maybe this sort of thing brings war, the gods, looking down that this rot, shake their heads and say, “enough.”
To his credit, he refused to “condemn the action” (of horrific chalk assault).
It’s gibberish because he’s (wisely) trying to give them the coddling of words they so desperately need, lest they get raucous and get him fired like these idiots have so many times before.
Hewas just telling them the cushy words they want to hear, without saying anything of substance at all.
Because they don’t care about substance. They just want coddled. Good job walking that tightrope, sir. Well played.

Two words: Tar Feathers.
‘He also added that if they’re students, they will go through the conduct violation process, while if they are from outside of the University, trespassing charges will be pressed.’
Good luck pressing charges on that in a real, grown-up court of law. Might as well come arrest my 4 year old for making chalk drawings of bears on our sidewalk…probably scared the neighbors out of their safe spaces by thinking it meant bears were going to invade our houses and eat us. “Bears? That was alarming. Why draw bears on the sidewalk unless you’re trying to start a bear war between humanity and bears? Why should this be accepted?”
Poor little babies. sniff, sniff.. Mommy forgot to send them their “Linus” blanket. Black Lives Matter wrote stuff on campus in chalk several months ago and of course that was ok..
hope they didn’t use colored chalk, that would add another charge
That might depend on the color.
Awww, the poor little Emory students are feeling triggered from seeing ideas different from their own, what ever will the Emory administration do??? Such special snowflakes.
and Bernie wants FREE COLLEGE. lets start with a class on growing up children. amazing
White Chalk = Racist
White chalk privilege reared its head on this campus.
You can thank a public union school teacher for these waste’s of Oxygen. From K – 12
I can’t believe the university is even allowing the thousands of comments (all equally offensive and unsympathetic to this lunacy, well done my fellow citizens, well done) on their newspaper website. The craven administrators are probably having a confab now on how to close down this little avenue of reality.
A generation of pathetic little bed-wetters.
And they have the balls to show their face !! Parents must be hiding under the bed !
Parents have to be scared silly to think that someone that they know may see that their kids are involved in this.
If it were me…..I WOULD BE MORTIFIED to see my kids involved with this.
In fact, I think I would be calling them to rip them a new backside.
Seriously ? Writing the name of a potential Presidential Candidate compromises the “Safe Place” ?
My first assumption was that the students has were amazingly emotionally fragile but then after reading about unreasonable demands and protests it became obvious that instead they are just entitled, weak minded, spoiled brats.
They play the victim and when they don’t get enough attention then they become entitled bullies
Good job Emory, fine class of stunted children you are educating / enabling.
Just wait until the picture shows a Bernie Sanders T-shirt on the chalker
Wait…..this is the Nursery School you’re talking about, right?
They feel Pain / Fear when they see the name Trump , Yet , they carry signs that read , Down With Trump !!
This has to be the best Joke I have heard today ~ I’m sure it will get better as the day Drags on ~~
When I was 18, I was humping 98 Lbs. 155 artillery rounds back and forth to a towed Howitzer. These snowflakes cry when someone writes Trump in chalk. 13 Bravo
I dunno about you….but the frailty these kids show is just frightening.
As a vet myself, I think about what we have been through and seen and I have to think that these kids are just so WEAK. They are mentally, emotionally, and if the images are any indication, physically WEAK.
The world is going to break them.
Their parents and these schools have served them badly.
Agree 100%
Drive-by right-wing chalkings on campus! The bed-wetters are losing their little minds!!
They are “afraid” on their campus because of chalk? They fear “Trump 2016”? Terrorist bombs exploded in Brussels this week. People are dead. These emotionally stunted idiots are crying about chalk? They speak of diversity and inclusion. Apparently you can only think and act exactly like them to be included. That’s not diversity. That’s not inclusion. Diversity and inclusion means accepting that there are values and opinions DIFFERENT that your own. Chalk your candidates name if you don’t like Trump. Life is going to hurt for you children once you get out of your little college safe zone.
SCARY that people with this mentality are someday going to be trusted to actually run things.
For Christ’s sake, you could break them so easily. What wimps.
I see a lot of whining, and it’s not from the students in the article. Kids have a genuine right to fear communist Cruz and fascist Trump.
Then why aren’t Emory students organizing an intelligent response to Trump and Cruz instead of whining to the administration about some chalk?
And Bernie Sanders is Mother Teresa.
‘Si Vis Pacem Para Bellum’ III%……….You got that right…”Kids” that will never grow up.
They’re fearful of chalk, you dumbf*.
The kid in the first picture doesn’t even know how to stand. His body language signals broken weakness or a diaper malfunction. Pure sissy.
I noticed the same thing. How would you like that little turd in a foxhole with you while taking fire? Me, not so much.
So freedom to avoid the expression of thoughts they don’t agree with and seeing words they don’t agree with?
I thought giving into FEAR was weakness and cowardice according to the left? Why are their actions to force denouncement and even OPPRESSION of simple statements…..?
WE ARE SCARED. STOP THIS
Then: BANNING MUSLIMS IS FEAR
It’s not Cruz or Trump that are threatening to blow up their progeny if they disagree with them. Nor is it Cruz or Trump who are threatening to steal a substantial portion of their livelihood in the name of “fairness.” These kids can’t compete in the market of ideas or logic. Their answer is to silence those who disagree with them.
C’mon man! Grow up!!
Haha, so many idiots butt hurt for having a different opinion
Yup, whining and screaming “We’re in PAIN!” Oh, wait, that’s the students in the article.
Then deal with your fear and quit being an embarrassment to yourself, your parents, and your country.
Cry more, your fears are subjective and I find them baseless… also.. I really don’t care about your phobias.
I think Emory University should be renamed to Emory Nursery.
Is this a joke ????? PLEASE tell me these Brain Dead Idiots are not serious !
Jonathan Peraza, grow a pair.
What would they do if Trump actually got elected? Demand that the university succeed from the US?
They’d actually have to pay back their student loans, instead of waiting for Bernie Sanders to pay them back for them
It’s “secede”
Thank you.
One more school with graduates that we need to screen more closely before we hire.
I do not need babies or people this mentally and emotionally fragile working for me.
One more school to tell my kids that if they apply to it that I am NOT paying the tuition.
good luck with emory on your resume! oh wait, that would mean you’re looking for a job
“job” = micro aggression.
Like much younger children, these “students” are much more concerned with feelings than thoughts. They, with the permission and acquiescence of their parents, have probably been told all their lives that their “feelings” are what matters ( and apparently should matter to everyone). They do not know how to think, much less think critally.
More importantly, an insidious alliance of several movements aimed at weakening our American culture and national pride, promoting moral decline and one world order, has been in play for a long time. It has many faces and our children are indoctrinated early. Sometimes parents are active participants and sometimes not, but they allow the indoctrination of their children through their disinterest in what’s happening in our elementary and secondary schools, colleges, and universities. They have relinquished the responsibility for inculcation of “values,” including civic responsibility, to others; it is after all, easier than actually raising their own children, which is the most important and difficult thing we ever do. These young people are lemmings who know nothing of sacrifice and love of country. In fact, they have been thought in myriad ways that ours is a bad country that must be punished. They don’t understand that their importance is only in their own minds, nor that they are simply pawns in a dangerous cultural game.
All of this is very difficult for this southern girl who unabashedly loves the USA, and fears for its future. Our flag waving in the breeze, or the national anthem brings me to tears and I will never apologize for it. I remember when the public school students in NC collected dimes in little brown paper envelopes to help the state purchase the USS North Carolina and bring her home, for I was one of them. It was a big deal. Growing up in a small community near Ft. Bragg, I learned about WWII, and the sacrifices made through the men around me. A member of my church, a very fine and gentle spirited man, was a survivor of the Bataan Death March. As a result, as a teenager I read a book about that March, which literally made me sick. I stood by the roadside with my grandmother, waving at the soldiers in the backs of trucks, as the convoys passed through our town on the way to Wilmington. Thank Goodness I was taught that America was the greatest country in the world…not perfect, but the best. I’d like to think our best days are ahead. But we are at a critical time, a precipice. And for me, I believe Donald Trump has the best chance of saving us from completely going into the abyss.
If the chalk was black, it would be considered ‘High Capacity Assault Chalk’ and would be banned.
Really? Is this a real thing? Please, please grow up and go find something with actual importance to stand up against. You wouldn’t be upset if someone chalked Bernie 2016. Trump 2016 is not hate speech. Writing derogatory comments about different groups would be. No matter who you support in this election cycle, everyone has the right to support whomever they want, and to promote their chosen candidate. This is asinine and yet another ridiculous example of outcomes from helicopter parenting and the entitled generation. I’m truly embarrassed for you.
These kids need to be migrated from their “safe space” to their “timeout corners”.
These are the exact types that perpetrate fake hate crimes…I can’t wait till they find out one of these butt hurt morons was actually responsible for the “chalkings” in the first place. This story seems almost too ridiculous to believe.
These sniveling babies are a national disgrace. Europe is reeling from terror attacks and Emory university students are wailing over their horrific chalk graffiti atrocity.
These kids are morons and hide behind cliche’s. Trump supporters should be able to promote their candidate without being harrassed. Shame on President Wagner!
Spoiled little brats that can’t handle an opposing view.
Nyuk makes fine binkeys for all you students offended by democracy and free speech.
I don’t particularly want Trump elected. The problem is that American colleges are supposed to be open to all ideas, yet these “Precious Snowflakes” can’t handle someone else’s opinion. I suggest a new class, “Real Life 101” including a semester of “Other People’s Ideas and Opinions Matter, Too”.
Two years of mandatory military service.
I bet these clowns will be fun to work with. Of course, no one (except for Government or Academia) will hire them.
As one of the many potential employers for your generation, I must categorically state that all of you need to grow up and soon! Neither myself nor my colleagues who are responsible for employing graduating students as new employees will tolerate this sniveling crap you are pulling. Grow up! The world does NOT revolve around you. Your parents obviously failed to teach you that and should be mortified at your behavior. You are on campus at considerable expense to either your family or by student loans applied for by yourselves. Think for a minute. Actually use that 6 lb lump sitting on your shoulders for something other than a whine generator. If you cannot get a job in your field of study after you graduate, how are you going to live? I can guarantee we as potential employers look at your histories before making an informed decision to offer a position. Thanks to today’s digital age, it’s easier than ever to find out what actions and what type of responsibility a potential employee is prepared for. Based on what I’m witnessing, very few will make the cut. We’re here to make money and be paid commensurately for our skills and work ethic. I personally don’t give a damn if you are qualified on paper. If your history dictates that you will be a problem because your “feelings” are hurt or that you “don’t have a safe space”, you’re not going to get hired. Your history dictates that you will be a hindrance – not an asset.
I was on my way to work and I saw a little girl drawing with chalk in here driveway and it was the most terrifying butterfly I had ever seen. Needless to say I had to take the day off work but I’m getting a mob ready to dig up her driveway
Well said. Makes you want to go to Atlanta, hide in a bush and say “Boo!”
It sure is a good thing your boss knows how tender you are right now and supports your time off. Not all bosses do that you know.
I’m still laughing at your post.
As a disturbing example of what’s happening to our children in our public schools, read the education article entitled, “Wake County schools may revise Pledge of Allegiance policy” on newsobserver.com, the website of The (Raleigh) News and Observer.
I just Pray no one tells these poor little kids that Mickey Mouse died ! OMG , that would be the end of the world !!
I really thought this was a satirical piece. There are no words to describe how pathetic this is. These students have just failed at life.
Please provide these students with a lifetime supply of Depends. They obviously need them.
Boy, wouldn’t it be ashame if Emory lost alumni donations over their asinine response to this!!!!! Oxford did with the Cecil Rhodes statue crap.
And isn’t that really where this has to go? Loss of alumni donations and possibly a First Amendment lawsuit. Weak kneed university administrators that don’t have the guts to stand up to silly little twerps need to get punished where it hurts – the pocketbook. And where are the counter-protests here? How about republican students on campus? How about any student that thinks freedom of speech has value? If you go to one of these universities the reputation of which is being pounded in the news media because of the “micro aggression”, “I’m traumatized”, “I’m afraid” set then get out there and let the world know that this does not represent all of the students at your school. Do it peacefully and follow the policies set out for such protests and if the school shuts you down to appease the crybabies then sue the living begesus out of the school.
You can almost hear all the HR/recruiters adding the keyword ‘Emory’ to the exclusions list. Be prepared to be the most overqualified pet groomer.
Stuff like this will get Trump elected. But this is just little stuff. Riots after the Cleveland convention, rag-tag anarchists breaking up all his rallies. All he has to do is say, “look at those Hillary Clinton supporters. Notice how my supporters don’t break up her rallies.”
Leftism is a mental illness.
PS – I am not a fan of Trump.
Hate trump as much as the next person, but your whining and “not feeling safe” doesn’t overrule the democratic system.
This must stop immediately. We are outraged! (but it’s OK to chalk Sanders 2016 around the campus).
It’s probably a good time to bring up the University of Albany… http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/02/nyregion/racism-charges-in-bus-incident-and-their-unraveling-upset-u-of-albany.html?_r=0
Congratulations Emory University on becoming the laughing stock of the educated world. How on earth will these people survive in the real world without there safe spaces. Utterly disappointed in this generations sense of entitlement, if you are afraid of a few chalk words on the pavement, then you do not deserve the education in a free speaking country that you currently receive.
The gap between academics and real life is growing. Teachers and administrators are cowards in
their fear to confront opposing ideas. The antiquated concept of tenure at “educational” institutions is a real problem. As times goes by in the US we see more and more people “protected” from opposing ideas, “protected” from the need to work, and “protected” from the need to face reality. In the meantime we see our working, tax-paying, middle class being squeezed out of existence. Our world is turning upside down.
To progressive liberals…down is up and up is down. Of course this is applied only when it meets their fancy. In simple terms, its institutionalized insanity born from weakness and intolerance.
I think it’s time to buy a case of Pampers diapers for Jonathan Peraza and the rest of the offended students.
Poor little snowflakes. I feel your pain.
Hilarious. These kids are certainly in for a real shock when it’s time to step into the real world…
These are the kids that won’t get a job in the real world and they will blame it on someone else other than themselves. There is absolutely no hope for them and it’s a shame that many of them are getting a taxpayer subsidized education. Pure waste of money.
“You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!”
Oh brother, what sniveling, cowardly, lily-livered pansy-asses these students are. You know who is in pain? These poor folk:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3504503/Brussels-attack-leaves-three-American-Mormon-missionaries-injured.html
Grow up kiddies. Guess what. Chalk won’t hurt you. We are in grave danger however if a good majority of Millennials are as hopeless as this group.
These students are pathetic. They must not have enough homework.
Spot on comment.
What a pretentious little man you are. It’s sad really.
As shown above – you have no idea what the words “children” and “tantrums” mean.
What these kids are doing is textbook tantrums – posting on a message board hardly meets the same criteria.
It is merely an insult you are throwing around while trying to act like you are above such things.
Free speech has always been threatened on school campuses (speech codes have been around for decades) – but, this new tactic, becoming “scared” or “triggered” based on speech – has become the most popular, because people like yourself continue to coddle these children and give them unearned respect.
The way to address this subject is to make these kids pay the social cost for their childish tactics…..we should treat them like children and ridicule the methods.
Giving their methods respect only makes the problem worse…
I’m not the one replying to all of my posts. I think I struck a nerve.
Peace be with you.
Struck a nerve? Not really, no. You aren’t really good at judging tone in comments.
I find you amusing.
You obviously think very highly of yourself.
And you insult people while simultaneously belittle them for insulting people. Then you act as if such things are beneath you.
It’s either an interesting tactic or you honestly believe it is true – making it a rather astounding case of self-delusion.
But, the consistent thread throughout all of this is that you argue the posters here are wrong for ridiculing the behavior of the students and how that doesn’t address the question of free speech. What seems to be obvious to everyone BUT you is that it is the behavior that is interesting to comment on, and it is the BEHAVIOR of the students that is the danger to free speech.
It is rightly being ridiculed here and on message boards around the country.
But, no – I have no anger, frustration, or ill-will towards you at all.
Peace be with you, as well. If you would like me to refrain from commenting on your posts, just ask.
Quick, quick, quick, run home to mommy, tear up your voter registration card, lock yourself in the bathroom and quit trying to think because you have failed badly.
You really are not bright enough to vote.
Some of you might have seen a photo of marines almost buried on the black sands of Iwo Jima in February 1945 trying to just stay alive after being pinned down by absolutely horrific Japanese artillery fire. My uncle was one of those marines. He had a very good reason for not feeling “safe”. He was also very “afraid”. These students I’m sure would have turned and ran away.
Believe me, these snowflakes don’t even know what ‘Iwo Jima’ is or was.
But they’d accuse you of racism for ‘appropriating’ Japanese culture just by saying “Iwo Jima”
No kidding.
Nope, I wasn’t kidding. He left his right arm on that beach.
My “no kidding” was actually me agreeing with you. My dad was a Marine in the Pacific as well, and I completely agree the idea that war more than defines the concept of scary.
I thank your dad for his service!
Awwwww, did the first Amendment hurt your wittle feewings . Maybe when you grow up you can ban all speech that doesn’t agree with your official position. We could be a Utopia like North Korea, or like the USSR was.
Not sure if Emory receives any government funding, but the answer to a lot of this silliness is a big, fat lawsuit for violating the First Amendment rights of the students that want to “chalk” Trump 2016 and are prevented from doing so or expelled for doing so. At some point university administration has to stop giving in to these goofs that say they are traumatized or are afraid every time someone says or writes something with which they disagree. I know that if I was a student at any of the universities where these silly things are going on I would organize a counter rally based on my First Amendment rights and dare the administration to violate my constitutional rights – setting up for a sweet lawsuit.
That is what most of us find incomprehensible??? Yes, these folks are immature children, but the administration should be held to higher standards of integrity and leadership. Where is the leadership and adult supervision? Parents send their children to college to be educated and prepared for the workforce, not coddled to the point of insanity.
I like the student in the middle posting the sign “Support for Trump Supporters.” Very well said. I’m a moderate conservative, and my choice wasn’t Trump in my state’s primary. Far left liberals don’t seem to realize that when they try to block Trump rallies, punish chalk written Trump support, disrupt speeches to the point that they have to be removed, that they have crossed so far left that they are now in the far right camp. Because far right ideology also tries to stop free speech if they don’t like the message.
Far left ideology tries to stop free speech too. Communism, Socialism, Bolshevism. All radicalism eventually reaches the point of authoritarian tyranny that opposes freedom of speech and the right to expression. So you are wrong, they didn’t cross to far right camp, they are just so far left that it is hard to distinguish the difference with the far right.
That’s not what the sign says. It says Support for trump = support for: white supremacy, racism, etc.
What happens when these students find a “vote trump” sticker on the back of a vehicle? Are they going to protest at the DMV? Are they going to demand greater diversity in the DMV staff or on the roads? Are they going to be afraid to drive?
They’ll probably just ball up on the ground right then and there and begin bawling like the babies that they are. This behavior is so appalling on a college campus and beyond pathetic. I hope they all get calls from their parents telling them to quit being such pansies and get back to their studies that they are paying for. If my kid led this protest I’d rip him out of school so fast that his head would spin.
Their parents? Who created these self-absorbed monsters in the first place?
I have a Trump 2016 sticker on my bumper right next to my Confederate battle flag sticker. You should see the stares from the young ones when I drive by our local college. Priceless
The “pain” of it may cause them to lose control of their car and crash it.
Let’s hope they don’t hit anything important or expensive.
They’ll likely vandalize the vehicle, like the black kid who threatened to smash a girl’s laptop for her Trump sticker.
As far back as 2008, campuses across the country have been trying to ban such bumper stickers, political posters in dorm rooms, political banter in emails, et al, if it contradicts the liberal position of the snowflakes. Some efforts have stuck, regrettably, while others were defeated by those who actually believe in the 1st Amendment.
And, yes, if you read what these people are doing in other areas of society, they are demanding special and extra “diversity” in the police force, DMV, all government branch offices, etc. and, yes, they have already stated time and again that they are, indeed, “afraid to drive” because they are certain they will be pulled over and killed by the white man in uniform. Even if it is a black man or Asian man or purple man in uniform, they could be brutalized as they are OBVIOUSLY taking their orders from the aforementioned white man.
*smdh*
We have a special “Safe Zone” here at my work. Right out the front door with the bosses boot up your keester.
What is disappointing is these kids refusal to engage with someone publicly that is willing to harshly question them on their behavior. I see no kind of adult authority asserting itself over these kids, I just do not understand why.
Who are these people? They sound too immature or low IQed to even be in college.
They’re narcissistic cultural terrorists specializing in emotional blackmail.
Stealing this. Just brilliant.
We have flooded colleges with low IQ people recently as part of the student loan scam to get dummies in debt to the feds. Coincidence? Nope.
If chalk writing of Trump ‘support’ makes these kids feel “unsafe” then they’re in big trouble later on in life. What kind of bubble do you live in where a political ‘support’ message makes you feel unsafe?? If this is the future of our country we’re screwed.
The idea that FREE SPEECH may be abolished someday because of immature children like this makes me feel “in pain here”. It’s time to toss your binkies in the trash and grow up kids.
Chalk? Okay, you know what’s scary? My dad enlisted in the Marines when he was their age and fought in the Pacific. That is scary. Cancer is scary. Chalk, even Trump 2016 in chalk, is NOT scary. Grow up, you little special snowflakes.
I don’t care who you vote for, but this kind of preciousness does not speak well for our country.
To think that just 70+ years ago, citizens of this age group answered the call to fight and die for their country. These children aren’t worthy to shine the boots of those men and women.
What a bunch of pu$$ies! Go cry to your momma. If you little snowflakes can’t handle a little chalk on the sidewalk, you are in for an unpleasant surprise. Grow the f up. Mature students at Emory should chide these intolerant fascists who can’t handle opposing ideologies, but we’re not even talking about opposing ideologies. We are talking about chalk writings on the sidewalk. I’m embarrassed to call you my fellow countrymen. i have nothing but contempt for your “grievances” and I am laughing AT you, not WITH you. Poor little tender snowflakes.
Great point.
Why doesn’t the University just make Trump supporters wear a yellow star? It’s the same mindset.
It starts much earlier than the college, helicopter parenting, over-indulgence, just for starters. The college is just reinforcing it instead of calling them on the carpet for it.
Two years of mandatory military service would be perfect for these sniveling cry babies.
Where I would agree… it would be bad for those who want to be in the military. Of course, they would make it so that there was a Time Out area for them.
The AF tried the time out for basic trainees back in the ’90s. It didn’t last very long once those trainees went to their first bases and met the real world of accountability. I still laugh at the first time one of them tried to “time out” when I confronted him.
This is a symptom of how bad our education establishment has become and how diversity of opinion is dead in school. The teachers and administrators indoctrinate in weakness and ideas counter to the true facts of history.
There should be a fairness doctrine for schools. I have had to sit through moronic teachers telling me how great Castro is for his country. I would ask, is that like Nixon winning the presidential election in 1960 and still being president today?
These kids could never ask a question like that because they no rational basis of history that has been taught through their prior school years. It also shows how easy it is to manipulate the minds of our youth.
The teachers have no rational answer, hence they actually want totalitarian rule as long as it is a totalitarian they agree with in principle.
“It also shows how easy it is to manipulate the minds of our youth.”
And THIS is why the leftists/”progressives” are taking over the universities.
I don’t think we’d have crying gays, illegal Mexicans & militant Muslims on US colleges had nazis won WW2.
Poor babies…. I really doubt that they are prepared to survive in the real world, the world outside of home and college.
I’m curious what you feel he ACTUALLY said that bothered you.
Seemed time he struck a good balance between pandering and losing his job. He didn’t promise anything that he knew would be anything but negligible, but he gave these idiots the soft words they needed. Did you miss the “no we will not” regarding condemning the actions? He stuck to that.
The poor guy didn’t want to write that any more than any of us would’ve.
He outwitted the enemy. Shame you’re on the “there’s only one right thing to say” train, too. Horseshoe effect, I guess.
Find me a single man or woman of any intellectual heft of the past 2000 years who could actually write that rot that he singed his name to? From Thucydides to Locke to Lincoln you could not find one because they would not even be able to comprehend that speech–in any tongue. In fact, it’s not even language, it’s a sort of deracinated anti-language that only appears in the jargon filled world of educrats, lit-crit frauds, and public-relations hucksters. He said nothing, I agree, and took far too many meaningless and empty phrases to do so–but that is exactly what is NOT needed. I’m imagining the look on Churchill’s face if you’d handed this to him. He’d belch, toss it into the waste bin, and fire whomever gave it to him. Then he would rise from his chair and issue the words the public, and most importantly, the entire American university system, desperately needed to to hear from a leader. He would have identified and fought the enemy, and he would have carried the day–look at the comment’s woman, the peasants are in open rebellion, he would have been a nationwide hero if only he had a spine and that mysterious thing the Greeks called spirit. Instead, Wagner beneath the desk when his time came. I stand by what I said: Wagner is a coward and has no credibility as a scholar or as a university president. It’s men like him who allowed it to go on this long and get this bad in the first place. My teacher, Alan Bloom, would have concurred. He has kept his job, but he’s finished.
Dude, let me be clear here:
I can’t STAND this PC bullshit. It makes me ill. And as a student considering Emory for future education, I am amazingly turned off by all this nonsense.
And I agree wholeheartedly, in an ideal world, the man wouldn’t lose his job for just being real and honest.
Problem is, we live FAR from the ideal.
You may be willing to lose your job on absolutist principle alone. He was willing to give them just a little sugar coating to keep his means intact. Under similar circumstances, you might also be willing to write a few empty nothings to appease the mob if it meant not being punished for delivering harsh reality.
You can’t reason with the unreasonable. He was put in a position he should have never had to deal with. Due to NO fault of his own, the man was put in a double-bind: Pander to the mob, or lose his job and risk further discreditation. He chose to give them a few empty words to pat their sweet heads, but without actually conceding anything.
You may be an absolutist, unwilling to bend even a TINY bit just to shut up the insane masses. He wasn’t, and I don’t think he’s entirely in the wrong for it.
As Pound said, “Learn to stand in the hard Sophoclean light and take your wounds from it gladly.” Wagner has never read Sophocles, and the people around him are worse. Those fools created this cultural disaster, that’s why they can’t fix it; those “last men” made this mess. That’s why he writes so awfully, because his brain is rotted out; it’s not just a matter of substance, it’s a matter of style. I would never attend Emory while those people run it; it is a poisoned well. Want to know what a real college president sounds like? Try John Silber or Robert Maynard Hutchins. Yes, it is hard to imagine, but honorable men once existed–and in recent memory. You never, ever, pander to a mob of children–job or no job, you command. You stand and deliver–but when you’ve made your bones by being an amicable invertebrate, the spine will not just appear when needed. The lack of practice will always show when the event comes. Wagner is a tool, he’s forever finished to anyone who would ever look for intellectual leadership.
You think Larry Arnn would have folded? Larry Arnn could not write or speak a letter like Wagner wrote because he doesn’t speak that language, he doesn’t know the therapy language of victimology that Wagner knows instinctively. Arnn knows Churchill and Churchill knows how to inspire. BTW, Churchill was tossed from the PM office as soon as the war ended; in fact, Churchill was tossed and rejected and dismissed many, many times in his life–and he always returned to the fight. It’s too late for Wagner, he could never benefit from reading Churchill, he doesn’t have the spirit in him, he’s deficient, and that is what cannot be substituted. He can never be a leader.
wow these kids are massive losers lol!
As an almost 75 year old, I am shocked and embarrassed by the reaction to chalk messages. But seems no one cared when “black lives matter” when it was chalked on the same walkways. I hope everyone is taking note that this is what will happen, on an even larger scale, if we end up with Hillary or Bernie. Could it be that this immature children are afraid if Trump were to get elected, the gravy train would end?
“… immature children are afraid if Trump were to get elected, the gravy train would end?”
Bingo!
Could it be that this immature children are afraid if Trump were to get elected, the gravy train would end?
You hit the nail on the head. This is the exact reasoning for this type of behavior. Also need to factor in effort aversion which is a cornerstone of dependent, liberal thought. These students will now complain that this incident affected their ability to study, already referenced in their above statements to President Wagner, and will attempt to get out of tests, assignments, projects, etc. Sad indeed.
How utterly pathetic. Political correctness is such a cancer and is just killing this country. These kids should be embarrassed and ashamed.
It’s pukes like these that created a NEED for Trump.
Waaaaaahhh! MY PEE PEE HURTSSS!! WAAAAAAHHHHHHH! I WAN MY BOTTLE1!!!!
Lmao
omg that’s a good one!!!
Wait, is this a joke article?
These have to be the most pathetic and weak ‘students’ I’ve ever seen. It’s so ludicrous it defies belief. What would they say to Bernie and Hilary chalk markings? How is Trump hurting them? Wait until they’re out of the confines of their safe college and are in the real world. They’ll never last. Losers.
You “students” are pathetic. You’re useless. Go home to mommy and daddy so you don’t contaminate the real world.
You’re parents are spending money for you to get useless degrees in ___________ Studies and are majoring in unemployment.
Vapid wastes of space you are. Leftist babies all.
We need to spay & neuter them so they don’t spawn wimps.
When I was their age I also thought I knew everything.. they’ll look back on this with embarrassment..
When I was their age, I was in the MARINES!!!
US Army at 18. 13 Bravo 155 towed & self propelled Howitzers. Semper Fi Catgravy
Hope you tough guys don’t have nervous breakdown but. TRUMP
Micro aggression! Erect the safe zone!
Just wait till they are face to face with the anti- infidel women raping murdering Muslims being brought here. They’re really going to be scared and there isn’t any college president that’s going to help them.
Just looking at this group of sickening, pathetic weaklings is enough to almost make me want to live up to the perceived and phony perception of Trump supporters. Just to be able to demolish them somehow, see their pleading and miserable contorted faces of despair would be worth it. I hate them. I hate them more than I can even believe myself.
How will these snowflakes ever make it in the real world. At least I don’t have to fear any college graduate taking my job these days, they are afraid of their own shadow, let alone getting out of mommies basement. sheesh
ISIS deserves to win if our supposed best and brightest are among that lot of weak, disgusting, ugly and childish losers.
“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” – These students make a strong case for re-instituting the Draft…and doing away with the education deferment.
If chalk drawings are chains.. .This dude needs to be whipped with real ones…
At least the chalk is gluten free and no animals were hurt to make it!
Naturally all of the comments we have been making will have to be deleted as they are being posted on the Emory Wheel site which is going to cause Emory students to be traumatized, live in fear, etc., etc. If they thought having someone chalk Trump 2016 was “bad” imagine what their reaction will be to the comments being made about them here.
Good. I hope this group of weaklings are reading them and becoming incensed. I just wish I could say it to their stupid, miserable faces.
What a bunch of babies. So your feelings are hurt? So what – that’s life. Get used to it. Here – watch this video on being offending: https://www.facebook.com/yourmajesty1/videos/995717717162711/
Do these babies not understand the American political election process? We need to bring back civics studies in our schools apparently, or offer these black and Muslim students who are venting their hatred towards white people by making such claims, back to their countries of origin….they don’t have to live here…also, these black and Muslim students do not represent blacks or Muslims in general, just as Black Lives Matters does not represent blacks in general…they are rebel rouzers and trouble making immature babies who are looking for a place to happen…not grow up.
F*** your feelings !!
Also, displays like this is what is driving Americans to vote for Trump! They are tired of the PC BS that has been plaguing our country for over 20 years…I am not even white, and I am tired of it all.
yes, and it’s not even a race issue, it’s an intelligence issue…we either have a sane country based on individual rights and a legal system based on objective facts, or…we have a liberal 3rd world hell-hole.
Let me point out something that will REALLY keep you guys awake at night: these students are our future government employees and politicians. Yikes.
You snowflakes are gonna have a hard go of life, when reality sets in and that people will have a differing perspective on things.. May it be painful, so ungodly painful that the shrieking be heard from the moon.
Grow….the…hell…..up you delicate little pansies.
I’m no fan of Trump, but I’d almost like to see him elected just to spite these entitled little brats. Just for the entertainment value of watching them foam at the mouth and piss their pants. I’m smiling now just thinking about how much fun that would be to watch.
No kidding, and that is a large part of Trump’s appeal. I actually believe in the checks and balances in the system so don’t think Trump can do any real harm if elected and there is no chance he’d want more than one term since being President will be a huge step down in terms of standard of living for him so I’d love to see him win the election for no other reason than to watch these little kiddies, media types, political insiders, etc. EXPLODE!
God, I hope these little kids in grown up bodies are reading these comments. We should gather donations to place a web camera in the main quad area so we could watch the response to the November election results. Pure entertainment gold!
Agreed. I think ol’ Trumpy is an idiot blowhard, but I absolutely love the way he makes these mewling little wussies cry over their sippie-cups.
Wow – I was sure that this was satirical (The Onion maybe?) or an April fools thing (but then checked the date). Now I’m feeling traumatized and afraid for the future of society when these little twerps are supposed to take over from the current generation. Unfortunately, after checking around the office here it appears that we do not have a “safe zone”.
That’s OK, they will all be working at McDonalds anyway.
“Sam Budnyk
Sam is a Music Composition and Comparative Literature double major in
the C/O 2017. He has been involved with the Wheel since the spring of
his freshman year and has been on the Wheel’s editorial board since the
fall of his sophomore year.”
Is the author of this “article” another unemployment major?
Can anyone see these pedantic idiots actually doing anything useful?
Think it’s same to say that Sam isn’t going to contribute much to the world.
You know, I understand that we need the arts. And literature. And PERHAPS Sam will write the next great American play or pen the next great symphony. Who knows.
But I most sincerely doubt it.
I don’t have anything against the author of the article. He’s just reporting the lunacy. If anything, I’d thank him for letting us in on how crazy all of this really is.
I thought about that as well. But with those kinds of majors? Double major?
How about double majoring in Math and Engineering. Or Physics and Engineering. Or ANY course of STEM study. They’d fold like a deck of cards.
That’s pretty typical of the college graduates these days who cry when they can’t get a job and have HUGE college loans to pay.
Then WE end up paying their debt for them. This is part of the problem with the schools who KNOW they’re getting paid either way. The schools simply raise their tuition to collect the taxpayer handouts.
That’s OK. When Bernie smacks them with a 90% income tax they will get an instant understanding of economics and government.
True enough. But these useless idiots probably will never get a job in the first place.
They’ll probably go do pro bono work for the ACLU.
Once Sam learns the words “Do you want fries with that?” his future is secure. He might make shift leader in 3-4 years and get a 25 cent an hour raise too, seeing as how he has a useless degree from EMORY UNIVERSITY. What’s their mascot? A Housecat?
So why should I hire an Emory grad again? These pansies have proven they’re incapable of negotiating adulthood.
Amen to that. I won’t be recruiting at Emory any more if this is what they are turning out.
They claimed the chalkings made them feel “frustration,” “pain” and “fear.” You think I wasn’t scared too when 3 weeks out of my last year in high school I got a draft number to be heading off to War back in 1968? That is fear, so do not try and tell me that you little spoiled brats are scared of a little chalk huh? Give me a break. Grow up or shut up and go color in your blanket forts. I’ve heard enough, I’m out of here. Geez
Why are those two females holding hands? Did the chalk drawings bring
them to tears? Were they violated? These leeches have no concept of
confrontation or real trauma. What is the matter with them?
They’re special little Obama snowflakes and scared of their shadows.
These whiners make me feel unsafe with their macroagressions against statesmen they don’t like.
They are triggering my fears of brownshirts. Make them go away.
Trump 2016
Protests should be reserved as a last resort. “Offended” students should just have taken a brush and buckets of water and washed that crap off of the school. You don’t fight against ignorance and idiocy of Trump and his supporters by cowering. You fight it by showing the rest of the student body that you won’t tolerate stupidity like chalk scribbles on school grounds. Making it a dramatic protest only empowers those losers who thrive on the fear of others. Trump supporters who do this kind of thing, (not all) are the same one who keyed cars with Kerry stickers on them in 2000. They are weak, and must do their bidding under cover of darkness using chalk without caring about rules against it.
So you support suppression of free speech. Thanks for letting us all know.
BTW… I detest Trump too. But this is ridiculous.
No, I don’t support suppression of free speech… and writing on school property with chalk against the policy of the school is NOT free speech. If people want to put up signs in accordance with policy, hold rallies, take out ads, then that would be fine. But defacing school property crosses the line.
Remember that when the little darlings do the same thing for BLM.
Chalk is not spray paint. You sound like these kids.
I don’t condone actions like that done by any group, be they Trump supporters or BLM supporters. There is a difference between non-violent protest and the destruction of property.
Chalk. Really?
Really… The medium isn’t the issue.
To you.
To any reasonable person. One could argue that spray paint can easily be removed too. It’s all relative. The issue is the defacement of property and willingness to do so.
And that being said, how would you feel if someone wrote TRUMP 2016 on the side of your car with chalk?
You can obsess over all that if you want. Fine by me.
I’m looking at the real problem: Idiots who vote.
Would surprise you probably that I agree with you. I’m not defending or condoning these kids. They need a serious wakeup call about the trials and tribulations of life. I’m suggesting they could have been more proactive instead of running to administration right off.
True enough then. But they could have been proactive by growing a pair and simply ignoring what they seem to be so scared of.
I saw LOTS of chalk drawings on sidewalks at my school. Admittedly none were political, but nobody cared either. It wasn’t vandalism. And neither was this.
Again… agree.
But writing Black Lives Matter all over the school is OK? Hypocrite much?
Did you see me say it was ok?
Clutch those pearls! Oh, mah GOODNESS!
But I suppose the “stupidity” of chalk scribbles would be fine and dandy if it said “Feel the BERN”
I’ve recently heard about anti trump folks damaging vehicles with Trump stickers. Probably should mention that as well.
Yes, you’re right – It’s happening, as is the destruction of signs. I have no problems with protest and heated discourse, but free speech ends at the beginning of someone else’s property.
I agree with you, the proper response is to put on your big boy pants, grab a bucket and water, scrub, move on with your life. These kids are an embarrassment to themselves, their university, their country, and their parents.
So because someone supports Trump they are ignorant idiots? Classy.
And at another college, the students were upset that the chalk drawings from Black Lives Matter folks were removed, claiming it was wrong to remove them due to free speech. I can’t believe this college gave in to these little babies. So glad my kids aren’t attending this university!
Wow! I’m amazed the lengths these students will go to in order to eliminate a voice that they disagree with. Worse, that a college would suck up to these idiots so they won’t look to be unsympathetic to their students concerns. The more I see of college students today the more I believe we’re screwed as a country. I’m so glad I’m not going to college in today’s world.
that is called Cultural Marxism. dissent is what makes this country what it is. not safe zones.
Why thank you, professor. Unfortunately, your students seem to be looking for a “safe zone” on campus where they don’t have to experience the “fear” caused by pro trump chalk markings. Their dissent is designed to eliminate anything that they disagree with…no discussion or conversation necessary. Sadly, I dropped your course so save the lesson for someone who’s interested.
So they’re combating hate…with hate.
Good job, next generation.
FREE SPEECH goes both ways you libtards!
Make no mistake, this isn’t about the students being delicate snowflakes. This is about them trying to grab POWER, the power to crush dissent. They start out pretending to be traumatized about Trump signs, but they won’t stop there. This is about them taking power by the very fascistic methods they profess to decry.
True that. These are the next generation of “progressives” who will become jackbooted thugs to force their world view upon the rest of us.
Like all good socialists do.
There’s no doubt that we are living in an age where “Liberal Fascism” is a real thing and anyone that cares about freedom of expression should be alarmed and fighting back. There have been a lot of good books written about this trend over the last 20 years so I’m not alone in thinking that this is a problem that needs to be addressed. If anyone should be afraid at Emory it’s the students that want to support Republicans because the administration’s response to these protestors (which they are apparently walking back now and trying to make it about chalk in the wrong place) should cause them concern that they might get in trouble if they exercise their right of expression in supporting the Republicans in this election cycle. If the ACLU actually believes in the principals that it espouses then they should be monitoring the situation at Emory and other colleges where similar things have happened and taking legal action against any administration that suppresses the First Amendment rights of any group on campus.
American “inclusion” comes to Emory. It’s a college-level learning experience, something Emory might consider for its curriculum.
Standing up against oppression is facing down a tank in Tiananmen Square. It’s being a scared black child bravely walking into a school in the 60s surrounded by an angry mob. It’s getting shot in the head by the Taliban for going to school, but refusing to back down from your mission of education.
Bluntly, these students are a disgrace to our country and our freedoms.
They are a product of overprotective parents and a society where having regular bowel movements is almost enough to be called a “hero”. Most of the big fights have been fought and won so they are looking for something, anything that they can latch onto so they can have their little protest day in the sun. At Emory it’s inappropriate chalking. Other places it’s the cultural appropriate of certain types of food or having a white person teach yoga. The list seems endless and the response is two-fold. Other students on campus who realize this is hurting the reputation of their university (which coincidentally is going to go on their resume when they look for a job) counter protesting in a legal and non-violent way which might mean, for example, coming out in droves to attend the white yoga teacher’s class or making sure to eat at the cultural appropriator’s food establishment more than ever or, in this particular case, strictly following the chalking policy in broad daylight to chalk campaign slogans in favor of Trump. The other response for anyone attending a government funded university is to sue the university over violation of their First Amendment rights if they are prevented from legally expressing their views because it causes “fear” in the oversensitive and, in fact, the ACLU should be all over this unless they are utter hypocrites and don’t believe in what they say they stand for.
Chalk up another one for the cry bullies.
You are absolutely kidding, right?!?! As one completing a Doctorate in Youth, Family and Culture, Emory is contributing to the increasing age of adolescence (11 – 29) by coddling these “students”. It is also not “freedom of speech” when an Institution of “Higher Learning” allows one side to speak “Stop Donald Trump” while silencing another side “Trump 20167”. Maybe you have forgotten the definition of fascism, but that is it! Please, teach these students how to deal with the issues in a REAL and healthy way! If the President acquiesces to these “demands” by students whose skin is obviously too thin, he needs to re-think his role as an Educator/Administrator. I am no Trump Supporter, but Emory needs to look at their Facebook page and see all the comments (Under Tibetan Prayer Flags) at just how foolish Emory is looking! In a way, I feel for the President (except he is fueling the ridiculous and irresponsible responses) because there is such a culture of liberalism that disdains any other perspective that Emory has brought this type of immaturity upon itself. Since when did Emory become a Police State that surveillance cameras have to be used to find the “criminal” who wrote the chalk messages? If that is a crime (freedom of speech), then those carrying the “Stop Trump” signs should be investigated as well. Would there have been a problem if the message “Hillary 2016” or “Sanders 2016” had been posted? The truth is, NO, because they do not offend the liberal narrative and freedom of speech is only a one way street with liberals. Please teach your students to grow up and stop being “kidults”. Engage in conversations that are helpful, not coddling!
The President of the University is in a tight spot since the students in Missouri showed that they can get a University President fired because their feelings got hurt by outside agitators.
I hate Trump a great deal but people should be allowed to express their political opinions freely. Sorry but that’s how America works. Take it or leave it.
Pathetic losers who make Missouri look good now. I wonder if we are going to see footage of the newly established self-soothing containment zones when these losers can’t deal with seeing something scribbled in ancient writing materials. Right now, if someone came into my office with Emory listed on the Vitae, I would tell them to turn around and not let the door hit them.
I guess I should ask as well, “Does your faculty and staff change your students diapers as well, or are they old enough to do that themselves?” NOW you can be offended.
I lifetime of Ritalin will do this. Balls suck back up in the abdomen. The technical term is “wussified”
When I was in college, we protested the Vietnam War. Emory teachers: Your students don’t have enough work to do.
Diversity is totally the mime — unless it is unapproved thinking.
It was HORRIBLE — I saw a picture with the words “TRUMP 2016” and I was sooo frightened I wet my pants.
Don’t be shocked when the video shows a non-Trump supporter holding the chalk.
Almost a certainty, and it’d be great if it turned out to be one of the protestors wouldn’t it? Reminds me of the Jewish student a couple years ago that was apparently having someone draw swastikas on her dorm room door. The campus went nuts and the manhunt began until they installed a hidden camera and it turned out she was drawing the swastikas on her own door to get attention at which point it was all quietly dropped.
If the university takes action against the person or people who had the audacity to exercise their freedom of speech by writing ‘Trump,’ it should be interpreted as censorship. There is nothing in the Constitution guaranteeing freedom from all things offensive!
BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA – And I suppose if it said FEEL THE BURN it would be a SAFE SPACE compliant comment? And you all claim to be the future of the next generation workforce and you piddle your pants outside of your safe space??? BAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Pretty sad. Why do college students these days hate free speech so much? It’s amazing how the weakest among us have managed to figure out how to bully others via crying, as well. Expressing support for a leading presidential candidate now constitutes hate speech and makes people feel afraid? Incredible.
Well, Michlady – the comments were made INSIDE their safe space. The piddlepantyheads dont know what to do in that scenario.
Whats going to happen next – is that the next generation of engineers from M.I.T. will create a portable SAFE SPACE field generator that is portable and travels with these LEFT WING PIDDLE PANTS so they can travel outside in the real world safely.
The liberal utopia that allows free speech only if agrees with liberal group think and creates discriminatory safe spaces is a scary place. It is sad that so many young people are foolish enough to sell their freedoms for such promises.
Imagine how unsafe conservative-minded students must feel on most college campuses these days. All of your classmates will try to string you up and paint you as a monster just for saying you want to vote for a Republican candidate.
Frankly, these spoiled little rich brats are making liberals look bad – even liberals want nothing to do with these fragile little snowflakes
I’ve read much more offensive things on the stalls of bathrooms. Seriously, a chalked statement in favor of a front running presidential candidate makes someone quiver? It’s really hard to believe that could genuinely make anyone feel much of anything.
Yes Trump is such a racist!
http://www.impulsetoday.com/donald-trump-fought-to-include-jews-and-blacks-at-palm-beach-golf-course-in-1990s/
Good point. 1000 upvotes but it only gave you one.
sssshhhhh!!!!!! Don’t you know that does not fit in the PC brigade’s BS bandwagon!
The person(s) that quaked in FEAR and trembled to the core of the soul at the sight of one’s free speech (“TRUMP 2016”) should instantly receive a FAIL grade in LIFE and thereby be disqualified from the future workforce.
They should just drop out now because they will never make it in the real world. You boss will never give you a “safe” place. Funniest thing I have read all day.
TRUMP 2016 AND 2020!!!!!
BWAHHHH – I just crapped my pants… Im scared. Oh my whaddle I do?
Retreat to your safe space, put your fingers in your ears while saying LALALALALALA until the PC police can get to you!!! You can do it! Just keep thinking about all those lawsuits you can file because your feeling were hurt!!!
#WhiteChalkMatters
I wonder how this group would react to an obese person walking by eating a cheeseburger
I have half a mind to travel all the way from San Jose, CA to this place wherever its at (LALA LAND) just to invade SAFE SPACE. And Im bringing a case of chalk with me.
Strange how for YEARS when TRUMP was on celebritty apprentice – no one ever accused him of masogeny and racism…. but 6 months on the campaign trail – and he hates blacks, jews, women, anyone with a tan… LOL.
He isn’t a very thoughtful speaker and steps in it more than he should, but the reality is those who know him best do not believe he is a racist or a sexist. For example, unlike a lot of people (say Ms. Clinton’s husband) he hasn’t been accused of sexual harassment by anyone, and you know the media is digging hard for any dirt on the guy. However, there is some truth to the argument that his language is not “presidential”. He has gone beyond just not being politically correct (which was fine) and has become vulgar and juvenile which gets him free media attention but is going to prevent him from winning a general election.
True – but in a weird way – thats whats so attractive about him… he says what he thinks. Today, being presidential means giving an ESPN interview while sitting in a communist country under a painting of a communist murdering thug while your allies suffer a major terrorist attack.
I’ll take the vulgar Megyn Kelly/Rosie O’Donnel hating TRUMP anyday.
Trump 2016
Like I said below, it’s worth voting Trump just to see these kids explode.
He’s actually been accused of worse – twice – don’t use this as an excuse to defend Trump – especially when you didn’t bother to actually research your statement before posting it – this is about the tail-end Millenials getting all sad-faced because they can’t function in a world that had diverse view points and free speech after being coddled by mommy, daddy and the University administration.
he also doesn’t drink, smoke or do drugs. probably pisses off a few lefties. success and a string of hot wives probably doesn’t sit with them well either.
So Emory students, read the responses to this story and understand that when you leave campus no one is going to listen to your sniveling little protests. In fact, people will take pleasure in “upsetting” you by legally expressing their views in a way where you will have no legal recourse against anyone because, in the real world. the First Amendment matters and your feelings don’t matter that much. This is not a threat, this is reality and it is absolutely, 100% guaranteed, to bite you where you sit if you don’t give your head a shake and find some perspective. Hurry up and graduate – we are waiting for you.
Stop acting like Trump is Hitler reincarnated. He’s the leading presidential candidate in a liberal 1st world country, there will be no genocide if he’s elected. Also, this is a democracy. Let the voters decide who to elect instead of childishly trying to block our first amendment rights. This kind of behavior is directly responsible for Trump’s rise. The support he’s getting is a reaction to the increasingly fascist left. I’ve voted Democrat all my life but I’m really starting to consider voting for Trump in the hopes that he kills PC culture and teaches the left that Republicans aren’t scary monsters.
Thinking outside my safe space… RIGHT WING LOON here agreeing with a LEFTY.
Right and wrong have no political affiliation.
True enough. But the left has very little affiliation with being correct. Their “values” change with the wind.
Whatever suits their pursuit of a free ride.
Exactly.
These idiots are scared because they realize no one is going to cater to their liberal PC BS ways any longer.
This is a joke, right?! Scared?! In pain?! In need of counseling?! BWWWAHAHAHAHAHAA!!! No wonder an Emory degree is worth less than a roll of toilet paper!!!!
Silly me, I thought the purpose here was to prepare students for the world they will have to live in as adults. Where is the guidance these students need to survive outside of a dorm? The world has never catered to sniveling, not even in kindergarten.
College doesn’t prepare anybody for the world.
Congratulations. You all collectively just ruined the reputation of this school and destroyed any value attached to degrees from there.
It is bad form to use quotes then change the words inside the quotes.
What a bunch of worthless bedwetters.
Is this the new site for the Onion?
We all need to file a lawsuit against these idiots for upsetting us with their ignorance!
Obviously staged. The children came with prepared signs and statements. Typical communist tactic.
I had my 18 year old son read the article as he will be heading to college next year. His first reaction was what a bunch of wussy crybabies.
Well done ?
Mine too… Feeling like a decent parent lately ! Trump2016
Going to show it to my daughter. She starts applying next year.
Thing is…I bought her a life membership to the NRA, she is preparing for the 2020 Olympics in Archery and shoots pistol, precision rife, and Trap.
She asked me to put together a denim jacket for her with all of her shooting badges.
I have to wonder if she would be attacked on campus for wearing it.
Awwww, the poor snowflakes strike again. What an embarrassment to your generation and Emory in particular. You get your feelings hurt by someone writing Trump 2016 (uh oh…did I hurt your poor little feeewings again?) in chalk around campus? What kind of imbeciles are you children? Were you raised by butterflies and unicorns? You better grow up and find your spine before you head out to the real world because NOBODY really cares if your feelings get hurt or what you think. But you DO make great amusement for the rest of the world.
You are at F***** Emory!!!! Do you know how lucky you are? Most people can’t even afford the tuition!!! Stop whining and get to work.
The saddest part is, these pathetic “everyone owes me something special” kids have NO IDEA how pathetic and entitled they are! Our military serves to protect their rights, but apparently only their rights! Anyone who disagrees with their ideas is wrong, yet they don’t see they are judgemental and prejudicial as those they are “scared” of!” But I’m sure they will willing give up 50-70% of their pay when they finally have real jobs and realize their taxes are footing the bill from those they think are being treated unfairly if (God forbid) Bernie or Hillary get in! And yes, I just mentioned God in public! That must make me super scary!!!
So the University’s response was to create a special group (additional cost), add new rules and regulations to “who can write on the sidewalks” (new costs of monitoring same) and how long said approved writings shall remain. This is exactly how our government deals with: religion, free speech, race issues, gun control, education, foreign policy, etc. The world will be a much better place if everyone would please teach their children this one irrefutable truth. “Life’s not Fair” get over it.
Which explains the status of your Federal Government.
Half the “brains” in government come from academia
This is absurd, people protesting and feeling unsafe because individuals have the nerve to support a political candidate they oppose.
ahahahahahah
Any Emory students care to respond?
No. This entire thread has them pissing their Huggies.
TRUMP 2016
Oooops.. just sent 10 more to counseling.
I wish. I keep waiting to hear from some of them. They must be trembling too much to type.
I have checked many other articles regarding this laughable story because like you I was curious to read a comment or two from someone on the Emory side, I have not found any.
I am an alum, and I am just shaking my head. Wow. I am not supporting Trump, but this almost makes me want to.
I know! Half the time I think he’s nuts but the more I see of these hired thugs (aka protesters) shutting down freeways and Fifth Avenue AND the radicalized students (yes – they ARE radicalized) from Chicago, it makes me want to jump right on the Trump Train.
Try looking on Tumblr…the ultimate cesspool of special snowflakes…
haha wow. Look at how pathetic those kids appear in the photos. Their parents and their schools, no matter how prestigious, have failed them immensely. Enjoy being run over your entire life in the real world.
So it’s okay for them to carry signs and congregate to protest because they don’t feel safe, but the person(s) writing with chalk could face disciplinary action from the university or the police? They need to get over themselves.
that poor chalk writer student must feel so scared and be living in fear on campus from those protesters.
So if we write Trump 2016 but surround it with flowers and unicorns would that be ok to these snowflakes?
I NEED MY SAFE SPACE! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Awwww, the poor snowflakes strike again. What an embarrassment to your generation and Emory in particular. You get your feelings hurt by someone writing Trump 2016 (uh oh…did I hurt your poor little feeewings again?) in chalk around campus? What kind of imbeciles are you children? Were you raised by butterflies and unicorns? You better grow up and find your spine before you head out to the real world because NOBODY really cares if your feelings get hurt or what you think. But you DO make great amusement for the rest of the world.
Get lynched.
The KKK is coming for you boy!
Emory College tuition $45,700, total cost of attendance $63,058.
What sane parent would send their child to this place?
Particularly with this foolishness going on.
Chalk is to a snow flake as a mongoose is to a cobra.
I bet if you searched these children’s dorm rooms you will find the chalk used to write the hateful, scary campaign slogans.
I don’t support Trump, but the reaction if he wins would be hilarious.
Mass nervous breakdowns on American college campuses!
Heck…that’s why I’m voting for him… just so I can see the nationwide meltdown on campusses (yes that’s how campus should be spelled now), news rooms and Hollywood. Glorious to watch.
Pure entertainment gold. It could possibly be the most entertaining TV I will ever see.
I thrive on liberals being butthurt. PC culture is destroying this country. That’s why Trump is so popular. The only way to correct that pattern is to be incredibly offensive to PC White Guilt Liberals with thin skin.
PS being “politically correct” is just an indirect way of censoring objective opinion, particularly as it relates to men, white people, Christians, and those who support Capitalism over Socialism. It’s a cowardly tactic. And only trolls can set us free. Let the butthurt begin!
If he did win, I wonder if these student lunatics would try to prevent a sitting President of the United States from making a commencement address.
The only thing worse than the crybabies are the spineless and weak administrators who kowtow to their every whim.
Campusses full of campussies.
You guys have help me to create a new phrase: “Campusses full of campussies”.
Campussies…..I like that. That’s a new thing now.
I found Waldo, he changed his shirt from red to grey.
How much would it cost to hire a skywriting plane to write TRUMP 2016 over the Emory campus?
If you start a GoFundMe then I will happily donate to that!!!
Great idea I’ll contribute as well, even though I’m stiil undecided in this election !
I dunno but if you crowd fund it I will contribute
Yes, I’m in for a hundred.
I heard that Emory University only accepts mentally retarded students. Good for them. It nice to see a college that specifically caters to the mentally handicapped. But I don’t know why they get so easily offended by people having different opinions.
Nope, the “R Word”has been banned. You just committed verbal assault. Some kid now needs therapy
Never mind “Trump 2016” in chalk on the stairs leading to the quad, how about 1863 almost entirely negative comments calling these students every name in the book, plus another 75 for the other story on this and even more for the letter from the editor. And that is just on this board alone. Add 10s of thousands (maybe 100s of thousands) of comments from various other sources, almost 100% negative towards these protestors, and well, there likely isn’t a place “safe” enough for them to go to wash this all down. There you have it “kids”, 100s of thousands of micro-aggressions against you by people acting perfectly legally and over whom your weak kneed college administration has no authority. Welcome to the real world.
They’ll be crying for months after that post…
Superb post!
we are surely done. the end of a great republic. the commies have won. it was fun while it lasted.
Shhhh don’t tell the little college kids but Liberals are the most racist of all. Saying “white people cannot be poor” and supporting racist Affirmative Action policies is far worse than being against illegal immigration, which involves all skin colors. That’s called critical thinking. Fight the powa kiddies! LOL
hahahah “no one can hurt me in my safe space”
All democrat voters are DEMANDING the iron fist of a communist dictatorship.
“For the students, it’s reassuring to see how they are able to voice out their opinions and, although it might be safe or uncomfortable, we know that we have a community behind us, whether that be the Latin[x] community, the Muslim community or the black student community — there are pools of safety we can go to,” Singh said.
Unless you support Trump. If you do, it’s the gulag for you!
Kinda makes you want to vomit does it not.
Authoritarianism, be it Trump’s populism, or the “we can’t have any speech which we don’t like” activism of these coddled “offended” students are equally dangerous to a democratic system…. both eventually result in denial if First Amendment rights of various sorts, if left unchecked and allowed to blossom. Tragically, Trump and these Emory students reactions are ultimately the fruit of the same tree…. ignorance and a failing educational system.
Authoritarianism and populism are completely opposite beliefs/doctrines.
You clearly missed the point that I was trying to make…then again small minded people tend do that, idiot
What the F are they teaching kids in schools these days? And this is the future of our country, a bunch of spinless, dic@less p@ssies??. It’s friggen chalk for christ sake.
All of you “aggrieved” students who now feel “threatened” are a bunch of wimps. If you really want to experience true fear, go to a US Marine recruiting office, enlist, and volunteer for service fighting ISIS in Syria and Iraq. The President of Emory should have lectured you on the First Amendment in his meeting with you.
As a direct result of this sort of this student protest nonsense across so many campuses in the U.S., I have stopped donating ANY money to our feckless “higher education” system, and I urge everyone to take the same action. Perhaps that will get your attention.
This system is producing a bunch of air-headed fools. All of these colleges receive federal tax money if only one student is attending with a Pell Grant. These tax dollars are being wasted to produce fools. And before you dismiss me as some “uneducated rube,” be advised all of you “frightened airheads” that I hold a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Case Western Reserve University and a MBA from The University of Tulsa, the MBA earned while working full time.
If you have the spine to debate me, feel free to email me at cx8712@gmail.com I am not afraid to hear views that oppose mine. You students on the other hand think that ONLY your views are correct. Be prepared to be surprised when you one day enter the “real world.”
Wow, I would hate to see what would happen if something more lethal than chalk and an opinion were to threaten our modern day college students. Oh, congratulations on advertising to the world that Emory college students are so opinionated and intolerant. What happened to free speech and tolerance? If you want something, be that in the world. Look it up, its a Gandhi quote.
Thank you for spelling Gandhi properly.
I am a big Gandhi fan. He has a unique understanding of the human condition and how to resolve conflicts. Amazingly, the thing that I admire most is that he thought he was a failure, as his goals were so large.
Wow…. Are you ffing kidding me. Scared, frail, weak minded. These are the traits I will think of when I meet an Emory grad from here forward.
That tragedy in Brussels would’ve never happened if everyone had their own safe space.
If you are scared over a chalk drawing you should probably kill yourself now. Life is going to get a lot harder than that.
I can’t stand Trump, and will not vote for him. I think he’s a lunatic. But I really can’t see what the big deal is that someone wrote in chalk “support Trump” or that these people find it “alarming” that they wrote “Accept the inevitable: Trump 2016”. There was no implied threat there. That a Trump presidency is inevitable is only someone’s opinion. That doesn’t really mean it is inevitable, or people have to accept it as such. It doesn’t make it a hate crime or a threat. The only tension it is inciting is these people that are trying to make innocent remarks into a big deal. Well guess what. This is America and people can write whatever they want as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody else. It’s called Freedom of speech. This is not even newsworthy.
How did these snowflakes live to adulthood? Note to self: never hire an Emory grad. Pathetic. Is there a candlelight vigil planned for these poor shattered souls, or a place to lay a teddy bear, a la, Belgium/EU?
NEVER HIRE THEM!
Readers probably know that this story has now been featured in the UK in the Daily Mail 24th March newspaper. Since I live in England, the links have been sent to me by several friends to gently poke fun at me as I graduated from Emory College in 1972. I thought it was a Dooley spoof until I followed the links myself. Imagine the impact upon alum giving that supports scholarships. Or how alums feel when they receive the usual letters asking about Emory student placements in their companies or help in finding that first position. I feel sorry for the University management who need to handle this situation. Interesting that the protesters want more diversity rather than high quality. A true liberal arts college should be colour, ethnic, religious, sexually blind and take the best they can. The resulting diversity is an accident of taking the best – not a goal to unjustly favour one group over another. If Emory becomes as a result 80% female, so be it. If 80% Asian, so what. If 80% with red hair, I do not care. As my grandson frequently says, “Get a life”. Bruce Albrecht C’72
They are afraid of chalk? The sexual predation of professors is a larger threat, or perhaps a nasty paper cut or hangnail.
Desitin on my hiney! Desitin on my hiney!
Give them the choices I had when I was 18. Get a job, join the military or get out. My parents loved me but wasn’t going to cuddle me. So 6 months later joined the WVANG and through that I received my college paid for. That’s the problem with people today they think everything should be given to them, that they are entitled to everything for free. I hate to inform you that someone somewhere has paid for it ether with money or blood.
Oh please … stop with the ‘back in my day’ bull-crap.
Joooooooo, please share your life experiences with us. I retired at 54 because I was not like these Emory kids. ? loving life. How about you?
Why? It’s what these weak minded everyone got a trophy kids need.
Why Kenneth is correct. This generation of man childs are useless. The women are the real losers..
Just looking at this group of sickening, pathetic weaklings is enough to
almost make me want to live up to the perceived and phony perception of
Trump supporters. Just to be able to demolish them somehow, see their
pleading and miserable contorted faces of despair would be worth it. I
hate them. I hate them so much it scares myself.
Amen….
TRUMP!
Not as much as we hate you!
Good.
VOTE TRUMP 2016!!!
OMG, you like, just, like totally offended me cuz, like, your opinion is, like, different than mine, and, like, it’s, like scary to think of, like, his, like hair like in the White house and stuff.
If Trump 2016 written in chalk is enough to not only offend you but to cause you distress that you need to act out in this manner, you are not ready for college. Hell, you aren’t ready for High School.
I think it’s about time these snowflakes took off their diapers.
These are the leaders of tomorrow! SCARY!
I kinda wanna go beat them up and take their lunch money…
Why bother.. just say TRUMP and they will hand it to you.
LOL-not funny, but funny.
Wah! I’m an Emory student, and I’m offended and terrified by seeing Trump’s name written in chalk. Other names written in chalk don’t bother me, but seeing Trump’s name induces uncontrolled pants-wetting. My chronological age would have you believe that I’m an adult, but my pathetic display indicates that I’m not ready for the adult world and need to run back home to mommy. Now will somebody please fetch my binkie and a hot pocket?
TRUMP 2016!
It boggles the mind how something like chalk, and someone’s personal political view could make you folks so fearful.
By this time, one would hope that you would be adults and be able to handle the views and opinions of others, even when they differ with your own, without having a meltdown like a two year old child who was told he couldn’t have another Gummi bear.
Seriously, kiddies. Grow up. One day you won’t be able to hide behind your professor or run to your precious safe space when you hear or see something that challenges your own views.
TRUMP!
I hope none of our brave young men and women in uniform that risk their lives every day read this story, I really hope they don’t.
So true.
TRUMP!
Students,
It’s chalk. All you need to take a stand here is water, a brush, and some semblance of a spine. Clearly you do not believe in your convictions strongly enough to act on them yourselves. Until you are ready to act on your beliefs, question, refine, and then believe them. It does not take a college degree to figure that out.
Signed,
Doctorate Holder with Common Sense
Or, heck, just a bottle of water, soda, anything…
Is this real life?
These kids are weak. This is the kind of weakness ISIS can take advantage of. They are already siding with Islamic extremism over an American who wants to stop it. These kids are going to be an easy takeover. They are also going to be living in mommy’s basement unless they get a job in academia where this thinking has perverted their sorry weak little minds. I hope they feel unsafe tonight knowing they have no future. They are hopeless, feckless, vapid, rancid little crybullies. Wagner is only enabling these little weaklings to be the turds they are. If I ever get a resume with an Emory grad on it, I am going to ask if they support this PC diseased institution. If they do, it is in the Trash they go.
Weakness…. this is how you become a slave. Enjoy your pathetic lives, Emory students.
TRUMP!
As an Emory alum, I am embarrassed by the students and the administration’s response. How are these kids going to function in the real world?
whiny little dumbasses. They didn’t read a chalking, they “heard” a message. Expel them immediately for untreatable mental issues and clear evidence that their SAT scores were fake.
Go elsewhere, you crybaby idiots.
Well, the likelihood of any Emory grad getting a job in the private sector just went in the tank. Wagner, your weakness is going to hurt the stats as well.
For you Emory students who aren’t pure weak losers, transfer now. And don’t go to another school that has safe spaces. Those are for weak pathetic losers too.
We don’t hire weaklings in the real world.
Wow. It’s over. It’s only a matter of time before this weak minded kids are running the country. I’ll be long into my retirement but throw in the towel.
This is embarrassing.
So anyone that disagrees with these feckless children make them afraid, angry and violated?
I keep on hearing about these whiny children being afraid of words! I can see these little pansies will not be able to handle the real world after the graduate from college…smh.
Maybe Wagner is smarter than we think. He will negotiate an early exit from his contract with a golden parachute and THEN he can go puke himself silly because nobody is going to hire anyone from Emory.
To the Students: You’re not always going to agree with what people say and do. That’s life, and life is hard. Get over yourselves and get on with it, and stop wasting money crying over non-events.
To the University: What kind of idiots are you for indulging this tripe????
As an adult with a college degree and common sense, I am highly offended by these students. Can’t they be locked into their padded-room safe-spaces to protect the rest of us against their insanity?
You are a “B” if you don’t understand how this maggot’s hateful talk is alarming to some people. Yeah you are a “B” and most likely a racist as well!
See now that is exactly the type of reaction my toddler would have to being told they’re wrong. You have helped prove the point of the 1000 or so people that have commented on this board. Thanks Duke!
Emory University has just been added as a red flag on my resume review criteria.
The ease of offense and the inability to face disagreement demonstrates an emotional immaturity bordering on mental deficiency.
The combination of logical fallacy and double standard demonstrates both intellectual incompetence and lack of integrity.
The University’s response to these students demonstrates that both these issues are systemic to Emory’s culture. The result of this culture are people who are not able to cope with the challenges of the real world and will be a burden on those who can.
So unless individual people can prove otherwise, graduates from this school are not worthy of my time or the risk of my employing them.
Not everyone from Emory is on board with these protests. Emory is also an excellent school full of intelligent hardworking people.
You complain about logical fallacies, but you assume that, just because there is a small number of loud, obnoxious students at Emory, that everyone there must be the same way. That’s called a composition fallacy.
Please.
“The following day, University President James W. Wagner, as well as representatives from College Council (CC) and Student Government Association (SGA) sent emails to the Emory community”.
That’s a lot more representative of Emory than a few students.
Because they’re scared shitless that if they say the wrong thing or are too slow to respond that they’ll lose their jobs. Trust me, I’m not saying that these student protesters aren’t ridiculous. They certainly are. I’m just saying that this sort of thing unfortunately happens at every college campus nowadays, and its unfair to pin it on the entire student body.
You make a good point and I’d believe you if I saw more Emory students coming out strongly in favor of freedom of expression. If 40 – 50 students marched up to the Dean’s office to complain about Trump 2016 chalkings why aren’t there 400 – 500 students standing outside the administration building holding signs in support of everyone’s First Amendment right to freedom of expression? Here you have what you say is a small but vocal group that does not represent the majority view of Emory students so change the view the world has of Emory by taking some counter-action here. Keep it legal and non-violent, but don’t do nuthin.
Actually, in this case, it’s better called a genetic fallacy. I’m committing it knowingly, intentionally and based on my assessment of risk. Considering the nature of my work, I’ve justifiable cause for the additional scrutiny.
More important is that I also openly encourage proving me wrong. Also note that I’m not asking you to prove a negative – i.e. I’m clear that I will still judge on an individual basis. I *also* have a “do not hire” category and Emory didn’t end up there for your very reason. However, I am being open about my biases and the effect that incidents like these have on them.
If they consider Trump a life-threatening emergency, imagine what they would do in a real situation.
I have heard that there is a shipment of warm, fuzzy blankies on the way.
If any further proof is needed to show that millennials are the most fragile, closed-minded, intolerant, cringe-worthy, entitled and abysmally STUPID generation in the history of America, then look no further than this story. What an embarrassment. These are the people who will be in charge of the country in a few decades. God help us all.
Meanwhile in Belgium…
This is terribly disappointing. Us Americans are lucky enough to reserve the constitutional right to freedom of speech. As a 22 year old who just got back from my fifth deployment to Afghanistan, I’m almost ashamed to call myself an American. I’ve been shot five times, gone into cardiac arrest from blood loss, and resuscitated because I desired to do my part in defending what this country stands for. Though it breaks my heart and I do not agree with it, I respect the right to burn the American flag equally as much as I respect the right to write “Trump 2016” in chalk. I’m glad I could die for my country half the world away and come back to life to do my part in keeping you students so pristinely safe so that a little chalk writing is considered traumatizing. I really am.
Thank you for your service to our country! You have the real American spirit, not these snowflakes.
Really, commenters? After all the media-induced frenzy of fear over Trump and his wall and deportation and “carry the protesters out on a stretcher” blather, you are surprised when Muslim students are afraid? Really? If this were not an elite school, if someone had spray-painted “Accept the inevitable: Trump” on the wall of a Muslim instituion, I’ll bet you’d react differently.
I’m German and we have an obvious history and I hate the way Trump is using clearly racist strategies to get votes ( generally it works very well to give people an otherized scapegoat ). I understand that this kind of rhetoric is hard to listen to . BUT whoever wrote this has the right to his/her opinion and a right to express that opinion .And people in general don’t have the right not to be offended , they don’t have have the right not to be confronted with different opinions . And a written Trump is not a threat , it’s 5 letters .
So sad that they can’t tolerate freedom of speech and political choice. Poor, poor babies.
Yeah, I am surprised when Muslim students are afraid because Trump hasn’t said anything that should make Muslim students afraid. He may have said many things that should make a lot of people want to not vote for him or to vote for someone to block him or, at most, want to move to Canada, but provided that you are not in the country illegally or part of a terrorist plot or a protestor at a Trump rally (and very few Muslim students at Emory would be in any of those categories) then you no rational basis to be afraid. But even that being said, if someone sneaks onto campus at night and writes anything, anywhere it is hardly the administration’s fault. Other than ensuring that the chalkings are removed, primarily because they were put in unauthorized locations, the administration has no responsibility to these students to address their made up fears and they have every responsibility to all of the students on campus to support the right of freedom of expression.
Please
No one spray painted anything about Trump.
It was chalk-it washes off with water.
And this is a university, not a mosque. Big difference.
Sarcastic ~~
There are plenty of things to worry about in life, but graffiti in chalk is not one of them
It must have been so awful for the students to see a different opinion from their own. I hope there are therapy and counselling services available for these students.
Feel The Pain !!!
Assistant Vice President for Community Suzanne Onorato addresses (read: indulges) the students.
Que informação dramática…
Good grief. Do you people wear bubble-wrap to class?
({}) ({}) ({}) ({}) ({})
this is SO ON POINT with most of the other comments i left on here! Kudos! i was beginning to think i was the only other person that realized where all of this crybaby mentality started.
I’m against Trump, but come on. Other people’s political views make you feel “scared” and “uncomfortable”? These students are claiming to be liberal and yet instead of having an honest conversation about politics they’re trying to silence others’ free speech, which is about as anti-liberal as it gets.
My favorite quote is “I’m supposed to feel safe here.” If the idea of others having different opinions than yours makes you feel threatened and gives you the need to silence them, then a place of higher learning, critical thinking, and (gasp) diversity of opinions is not for you.
I was on a students’ counsel at my university back in the 80s and the attitude on campus was the polar opposite of what it appears to be today. Students were obsessed with freedom of expression and making sure that anyone and everyone that had something to say was able to say it and, quite frankly, be criticized for it. We frequently invited “offensive” parties to speak on campus for the express reason of hearing it from the horse’s mouth and giving students the opportunity to challenge what was being said. No one needed a “safe zone” because everyone was there to learn, be challenged and challenge others because that was the whole point of getting a higher education – call it the Socratic method of you want, on steroids. Apparently now the point is catering to the self esteem and delicate sensibilities of the unusually large toddlers who are admitted to university. It’s a shame, and society is the worse for it.
that’s the difference. they don’t understand something so it’s automatically offensive. that’s how all of these young kids coming up today are. can’t think for themselves they have to wait for someone else to start up the offensive bandwagon talk and then jump right on along with the rest of the idiots.
Hey !! Don’t you feel there Pain !! *-*
If that bothers these kids so much, maybe some counselors in the safe spaces would help. In America, people are allowed to have differing views…even if they are pretty out there. Wait until real life kicks in…
Wait untll life kicks in ! I’m sure that will get a lot more than 2000 comments (some really funny ones too ! )
I’d never make it as a counselor, I guess. I’d just tell them to put their grown-up pants on and learn to deal with it. Instead, we have panty- waisted “professional counselors” patting them on their backs and telling them how they’re entitled to feel bad and its the rest of the world that’s horrible and evil.
Emory students and its administration are now officially the laughingstock of the country.
The world actually. This story has been picked up globally now. Congratulations Emory!
@Julie Media-induced frenzy? Really? Perhaps if the students [that were able to get into such an ‘elite school’] were smart enough to look beyond The Today Show and social media for their information, they may realize that you simply cannot believe everything that you hear from Matt Lauer or everything you read on Facebook or Twitter. Perhaps they should take a class that will teach them how to do their own research to determine the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. I can assure you that is vastly different from what they have convinced themselves is true based on media sound bites. If these students would just spend a bit of time doing this instead of screaming for someone to hug them, they may just discover that they really have nothing to fear but their own political ignorance.
Emory University administration and the Emory students are an embarrassment to the United States of America. Shame on you Emory University students.
Trump 2016
Let’s not make too much fun of the students. One day when they turn 40 and have to move out of their parents’ basements they might really get scared, require therapy and then all our taxes will go up to support their treatments under President Sanders’ initiatives. Who cares what a bunch of sniveling and pampered solipsistic whiners have to say. I miss the “good old days” of the 1960s/1970s Viet Nam campus protests.
Don’t forget the anti-depressants the system will surely have them hooked on.
I might have to start taking them as well after reading about this pathetic group of students being given attention at Emory.
I am not a Trumpster, but if all the markings said were “Trump 2016” and “Accept the Inevitable: Trump 2016”, these students have GOT to sack up. What will they do if someone calls them a racial slur or makes a physically threatening gesture toward them in the real world? They won’t have administration to run to, so what then?
Nah, they included statements about putting up a wall, too. Wrote them near the LSO which seems deliberately intimidating.
I saw pictures of the “Trump 2016” stuff which hardly seems problematic.
That’s the problem with these wimps. They’ve never experienced true racism so they point out stuff like this and call it racism. If someone walked up and punched them in the face then called them a racial slur, then they would finally see what real racism is.
I wonder what all the kids would be doing if they were told that the school had two students with guns and they should not worry because we don’t know who they are , you know , like all the BAD people Trump wants to DEPORT !
Those “protestors” are a small, sad collection of attention-seekers. Don’t take them seriously.
So Emory supports diversity and inclusivity, unless of course you’re a student or professor that has opinions that diverge from the Leftist agenda.
Im beginning to agree with the demands for more psychological counseling and services for students. They are clearly off their meds!
Funny, at your guys’ age, not so long ago I was walking the streets of Baghdad, and climbing mountains in Afghanistan, and had a great time by the way. But I guess words written in chalk are simply terrifying, lol. Get off my planet.
I used to be against this, but I’m thinking compulsory military service is in order. Otherwise “Make America a Safe Space” is going to be the next liberal campaign slogan.
Wonder how long it will be before we see bumper stickers saying “Stay out of my safe place…I’m an Emory grad”. Written in chalk, of course.
They’re angling for “special privileges.” Or 15 minutes of fame. Or perhaps they really are this stupid. Newsflash, special snowflakes: the real world is gonna be a heck of a shock. There are no safe spaces in the adult world.
Did I read the article correctly? Was it just 40 or so students? Out of a campus population of how many? If such a small percentage is that pathetic, they need to go find a nice cave and go live in it.
Pathetic. Simply pathetic. “Trump 2016!!” Boo….did I hurt you, poor little snowflakes? Sheesh.
If these students are terrified by words written in chalk, if they are offended by someone’s political views that don’t correspond with theirs, then HOW do they expect to survive in the real world. What are their majors? Such a wonderful display of maturity and tolerance. Personally, I don’t feel that Trump is the best choice, and I KNOW that Clinton is not the best choice, but each to their own. Grow up children. Welcome to the real world.
Majors are all Basket weaving and women’s studies evidently :o)
Students: the Internet is forever. Good luck getting a job after school with your names plastered all over this stupidity. It might seem very cool now, but it won’t be when you can’t find a job. Not many companies want to hire candidates that are an E.O. complaint or civil suit waiting to happen; people with brains can see this is a bogus complaint, and few will want to invite that trouble to their company. You did it once and got what you wanted; you’ll probably do it again. Oh, did that upset your delicate sensibilities? Do you need your safe space? Welcome to life.
We support diversity and inclusion unless we don’t agree with said diversity or including those who don’t agree with.
These people are going to have nervous breakdowns and have to be institutionalized once they have to face the real world.
Both sides have a right to their opinion and free speech. Even if you dislike does not mean it is wrong.
I am moving my kids out of Emory next semester.
https://www.liberty.edu/ I highly recommend Liberty University. My daughter attended there and I am so very glad that she did!
You soft snowflakes. Your parents raised a bunch of weakling men who are big man childs.. You should be ashamed to call yourself a man. 17 year olds were going to ww2 and fighting. Millennials the weakling generation..
“The University will review footage “up
by the hospital [from] security cameras” to identify those who made the
chalkings, Wagner told the protesters. He also added that if they’re
students, they will go through the conduct violation process”
And then they will sue this pathetic excuse for a university for all it’s worth.
TRUMP 2016 Get to your safe space millennial children.. Go cry to mommy..
Trump won GA!
Did they look at surveillance video to find the people who chalked up the campus with BLM messages?
THANK GOD my beloved daughter went to LIBERTY UNIVERSITY! Send your kids to Liberty University! You’ll be GLAD you did!
Sounds like the Boogey Man is out to get them. If only they could see the Big Picture.
Wow when I went to college me and my friends thought about getting laid and partying. That was in the late 80s.. These kids are useless and don’t know how to have fun.. They do not even chase women.. Very sad..
Theyd call that “sexual harassment”
Cheer up comrades, your extracted tax dollars paid for the well funded public school system to nurture them into what they are today.
The world has come together to condemn the terrorist attacks in Belgium. Attacks by true extremists who believe that all thought, belief and behavior must conform to their particular standards. Yet Emory University administrators endorse that very world view by pandering to a group of stunningly ill-informed, uneducated attention seekers. Far from providing “safe spaces”, the university and the protesters make everyone around them much less safe. You aren’t frightened or threatened. That is a lie that you have manufactured. You seek to frighten and threaten anyone who dares profess opinions with which you disagree and likely don’t understand. You have much in common with the Brussels bombers.
Is this a joke? Is this the Onion?
This is why The Onion went out of business, all of their stories are actual news now.
I attended Emory in ’63-’65. It was a good school then. I question what has become of the brave students that used to attend there. To the delicate snowflakes that need a safe space, the world is different. You will find out when you get off campus and join the real world. You may ignore reality but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.
“If someone succeeds in provoking you, realize that your mind is complicit in the provocation.” — Epictetus

“You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!”
You have got to be kidding me. What are these soft-boiled eggs going to do when they get out in the real world and have to confront “scary” stuff like political TV ads, newspaper columns, and typos in restaurant menus?
To speak out against hate in a community brimming with it is both strong, and brave. Keep speaking out against hate.
“Hate” meaning “Something BradleyAG disagrees with” of course.
It’s good to know that Egypt will always have its River tourism to fall back on
Can’t you see Bradley is in pain? What’s wrong with you?
And censor and control and politically bully anyone who disagrees with your militant snowflake opinions. P.S. I hate YOU.
Come on now snowflake, start crying. Demand that I be charged with hate crimes. Sue me for counseling fees and renovation costs for your updated safe space.
Oops, I better retract my previous posts or I’ll get charged with cyberbullying. I hereby pledge to love you with without condition for the rest of my natural existence and to allow you to screen every political opinion I have, just to make sure it does not violate anything you might consider a microaggression. I love love love you and am so terribly sorry for promoting hate here or anywhere, and I promise to never, ever do it again.
While I understand your sarcasm… people need to give these Social Justice Whiners a good slap of reality. I’d love to see these babies after a few years of living in the real world.
If “Trump 2016” written in chalk can encourage these SJW monsters to zero in on university protocol and make the faculty all but wet their pants, imagine what an actual slap would do to them. Or even just a slap of reality. My God, they’re not far off from demanding reeducation camps for the merest slip of the tongue.
it’s only because the liberal staff are used to cottling babies
I don’t feed trolls, have a nice day!
Uh, typically a troll goes entirely against the grain of a discussion, but judging by the hundreds of comments posted here I’d say I’m pretty far off from that description.
Aren’t you to far out of your “safe space”?
Funny thing is it’s raining on campus so all that hate speech is washed away hahaha.
I guess it hides the tears of the Social Justice Whiners.
We’re still progressing and you’re still mad.
and you, of course, are not mad? lol, the hypocrisy of the wing bat left.
I’m not mad at all, I’m quite happy, my life is awesome. I have a beautiful wife, great job and the economy is out of the tank so my small buisness is doing great! I have to go back to my awesome life now, you guys have fun making cute names up for liberals.
since when is the economy out of the tank? we’re TRILLIONS of dollars in debt now thanks to you libtards. it was only Billions when your kind started their destruction. Just because things are on the mend a little does not mean it’s all ok now and everything is going to be all better now. that’s like George W Bush’s mission accomplished speech all over again. not a bit of it is true. I’m not for trump either but i am for free speech and all of the other constitutional rules and laws that liberals seem to think they can pick and choose to follow or live by like the constitution is some sort of smorgasboard cafe where you just pick and chose the bits you want and ignore or throw away the rest like it’s nothing. that’s what’s wrong with your kind and this country now and why someone like Trump is such a breath of fresh air to everyone.
It is also why that is all so offensive to people like you because that means all of the crying about things not being fair and claiming everything is about hatred, racism, and bigotry isn’t going to be heard any more once a republican takes office. all of that will be falling on deaf ears. because we’ll be in the process of cleaning up the liberal mess this country is in now and making this country a great place to live again. it used to be home of the brave, land of the free. Right now it’s more like the whiny easily offended get what they want,
Pull up already or we’re all going to crash and burn and the rest of the world is going to be sitting back laughing at how the cries of a few spinless idiots ruined the whole country.
Progressing where? By embarrassing the entire nation with absolute nonsense and crybaby tactics? There aren’t more important things in this world than whining about Trump?
LOL!!!
says the obama-hole.
And who gets to decide what is “hate” and what is simply an opposing viewpoint? You? I don’t think so. If you feel threatened by a person’s name written in chalk, go ahead and reserve your parent’s basement for the next 50 years, because the real world will eat you alive. I honestly have never seen a more pathetic display of cowardice. Grow up.
Zzzzzzz bloviating makes me sleepy.
and very idiotic.
As does those who perpetually avoid offering an intelligent rebuttal, and instead rely upon name-calling. You have yet to suggest one alternative viewpoint of substance, we’re all waiting.
Are you tired by the sound of your own hot air? It sounds like white noise, doesn’t it? A whirring sound with no distinction, just emptiness? Like that, vast and empty? Good, because that’s what you sound like to everyone else. You were at least right about something in that drivel.
Your words and terms are meaningless. Be more specific. With examples. And stuff.
No worries since most flunk out by the semester’s end and, of course, blame the trauma of “safe space intrusion” as the culprit. Oh, the humanity!! Don’t they know: “Big Boys (and Girls) don’t cry.” Who wants to be there with popcorn when the real world crashes in on them? Me!
In the next to last full paragraph, did you mean organization and coordination of the protest had fomented? I hope nobody that was part of the protest actually started fermenting. That might make other students feel unsafe, what with all the yeast around, and the CO2…#kimchi
TRUMP 2016! (No offense)
It’s clowns like these that make me want to vote Trump in 2016. I wish I could be there when real life gives these pathetic whining snowflakes their comeuppance.
This is a hoax, right?
NOPE it’s ridiculous i would agree but it’s completely real
This is embarrassing on several levels.
LOL! Too bad we can’t ask John Bender what he thinks of these snowflakes.
And censor and control and politically bully anyone who disagrees with your militant snowflake opinions.
I generally /agree/ with their opinions and this is just nonsensical. “We’re all for diversity, but if you write ‘TRUMP 2016’ we simply cannot accept your viewpoint and you will be punished?” Fanged God.
So much for innovation and advancement in science, technology and medicine in the next 30 years. Apparently all they teach in college these days is how to act like a whiney little kid. Liberals have ruined this country
that’s why it’s important for people to vote and make a change. The best thing anyone can do is to make sure everyone votes
Funny, it sounds like the people that truly have something to be afraid of is Trump supporters. They are the ones being forced into silence and ridiculed in the media. And in this case, it looks like there is an actual manhunt for the one(s) responsible for the chalkings. Once again, liberals are showing that they only favor free speech so long as they believe in what is being said.
Grow up. No, Trump isn’t very nice, but he’s someone with a lot of mainstream support and a bit of chalk never hurt anybody. You’re adults now, and once you’re in the real world there’s not going to be anyone there to protect you from the horrors of mildly offensive graffiti, either.
This graffiti artist “gets it,” and he or she should be awarded a medal, not punished.
Some of you kids and staff just don’t get it. Do you think after you graduate that your job in today’s society will give you a safe space?
I am so embarrassed as an Emory Graduate
yeah the rest of the world has got to be laughing hysterically at all the cry baby B.S. that they see happening here now days.
These kids should be ashamed of themselves. Seriously. I am embarrassed for them. And to me, it reflects very poorly on the college. What kind of education are these cry baby SJW’s getting??? Seriously.. what an embarrassment for this country.
poor little babies, wow. all speech is protected speech, I guess their ignorant teachers haven’t taught them that yet.
You all need to grow up. This is ridiculous. You can’t cry every time someone doesn’t agree with your views. Your actions are hypocritical. Grow up.
People in Belgium were maimed or killed in horrific ways this week, Iran is developing nukes at warp speed, North Korea is doing the same, terrorists are infiltrating every corner of the globe. The world is disintegrating before our eyes, and these pathetic losers are cowering at the sight of a name written in chalk on a sidewalk. This is the latest of many examples as to why I have no faith in the next generation. Sniveling and spineless cowards.
AMEN!!!
if words cause you pain, you have some severe problems with your self esteem, see a mental health professional.
it’s not the words this is the result of “time out Parenting” and everyone getting a trophy at the end of baseball season.
For the love of God: these are are the dumbest people on the planet!!!!!
What is the mascot…..a neutered cat ?
Right now it’s a skeleton (which seems ironic) but I think they should change it to a unicorn.
and they have one moron defending their pathetic actions on this discussion board
I think there were two. But she, oops, I mean “ze” crapped out a long time ago.
This sums up my feelings when reading about this…
watch out sensitive ones… it’s going to happen…..
TRUMP 2016…. oops it happened. close your sensitive eyes.
take a good close look at those students, would any company in their right mind hire them? I’d fire them on the spot.
How would you have time with your busy angry internet posting career lol
Flagged for as s hatism.
Better watch it, BO. SJW snowflake alert at 6:00.
These emotionally unbalanced kids are shinning examples of why the legal voting age should be raised to 30.
bunch of friggin cry babies OMG really people? what is this he who cries the loudest or the most wins now days? it sure seems like it! Smarten up people and grow a spine for pete’s sake! i’m ashamed now that i had kids to leave in this world when i’m gone, what kind of idiocy did i bring them into? OMG pull up already before this place crashes and burns.
I detest Trump, I agree with diversity, but what is wrong with these students? What is painful is to see are supposed young adult college students at an expensive college act like infants.
Seriously! What a bunch of babies at Emory. Toughen up kids. Why is it that when you spout your beliefs and violently protest or shout someone down, it is “freedom of speech.” But when someone who disagrees with you expresses his or her beliefs, he or she is a racists and you are afraid. If that is all it takes to make you a coward, then GOD help this country. Oh, I forgot, GOD is not welcome here anymore either. Shame on you. Grow up!
Maybe you should read the First Amendment: i.e.; Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an ESTABLISHMENT of religion ( This doesn’t mean separation of church and state, it means that the government cannot make everyone belong to the same church or religion.), or PROHIBITING THE FREE EXCERCISE THEREOF; or ABRIGING the FREEDOM OF SPEECH, or of the press; or the right of the people to PEACEFULLY assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Is the Emory Wheel a satirical blog, like the Onion?
Emory, the University, is the satirical element.
The Emory Wheel. It sounds like a sewing circle.
“Tell us a scary story”
*Puts flashlight to face*
There was once an opinion that differed from yours…
*Emory students gasp*
In chalk!
*SCREAMS*

The scariest story is that these retardates are running loose.
No. The scariest story of all is that these idiots can vote.
True.
Losers!
These so-called “students” look and behave like mental defectives. Seriously; they possess physical characteristics of the mentally retarded. They are a detriment to this country; let’s sell them to ISIs, as “servants”. Perhaps we can trade them for some decent goats.
Man, I am glad I went to a good stem program instead of… whatever they are teaching these fruitloops.
They all need to be booted OUT. These IDIOTS are a complete disgrace. The University system is being systematically ruined by pandering to these CRETINS
These young men should just be unics. Its not like they go out with women..

I detest Trump, I agree with diversity, but what is wrong with these students? What is painful is to see supposed young adult college students at an expensive college act like infants.
I’m pro Trump and I agree with you.
These are our future leaders, the ones that will be shaping the future. The kids that are offended need to stop suckling at mama’s breast, lose the diapers and get their big boy and girl panties on. The real world won’t coddle you like the administration will. Go get a bucket of water and pour it on the chalk and “Poof! All gone!” The boo-boo is all better.
“These are our future leaders…”
The only thing that would make that statement more terrifying is if it was written in chalk on a sidewalk.
Are you kidding me?!?! You people are disgusting. I personally am not a fan of Trump, however, what these students are asking for is suppression of free speech through intimidation and academic punishment. University was created for the purpose of bringing together diversity of thought and opinion; the concept that you are “supposed to feel comfortable” is complete trash. University serves the main purpose of having your life-experience and opinions questioned to promote mental growth. Additionally, there is nothing these writings, such as “Trump2016”, that imply or advocate any type of violence. This “fear” these student are feeling is completely unfounded. As a millennial myself, I am astounded and ashamed by students such as the ones who protested. IT IS A BLATANT LIE that these individuals support freedom of speech, they only support speech to the extent that no one disagrees or challenge their opinions. This is no longer the “progressive left”, this is now the “regressive left.”
Well said.
These students should be ashamed of themselves. I doubt they are, but they should be. This is a great embarrassment to themselves and their school. Emergence psychological counseling should be mandated for each of them as there is obviously something wrong with them.
Long Live the Em’ry Cupcakes!
Crying over words!
Cow’ring at the smallest phrase
Uttered by Trump Nerds!
Long Live the Em’ry Cupcakes!
Incontinent and wet with pee!
Cause we cry Mommy, mommy hold me tight!
Protect us from Reali-teeeee!
As a female liberal who will Feel the Bern anywhere, anytime, I am horrified by this. Isn’t the point of liberalism to understand all points of view, all people, all opinions. Comparing chalk to slavery, really!
Not enough liberals around with your attitude. You don’t have to agree with me, but let’s have some civil, intellectual discourse. I am sick unto death of liberals talking down to me – they seem to think that conservatives can’t rack up degrees too.
The Emory Wheel just censored one of my posts. It was not abusive or profanity-ridden, just highly sarcastic toward SJW militancy. I wonder if the snowflakes are surrounding their offices this very minute and demanding that they delete all comments or else.
holy crap. talk about some serious communists. This is the most crazy crap Ive read in a long time. ship these little a$$hats to Venezuela. The liberal socialists have raised the weakest most self absorbed narcissistic sissies this nation has ever seen. Our nation is summarily screwed.
Hey now, don’t insult the communists like that! I highly doubt the people who went toe-to-toe with the Wehrmacht would’ve been afraid of a little chalk graffiti…
WAAAAAAAA free speech is ok as long as you agree with me!!!! WAAAA hold my hand. Waaaa mom they scare me Waaaa go get a job loser.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
It does not say “Unless Social Justice Warriors wish to abridge the aforementioned freedom of speech.”
Grow up you freaking moronic children.
These kids are allowed to vote right? Now that’s scary! What are the actual incidents that are making the students feel unsafe? What kind of actual confrontations? Somebody writing in chalk their preference for president has you scared? Well hey I’m scared of Hilary being elected , so what? So you can’t publicly support her? Their points are certainly not valid in any way shape or form.
Peter pans and drama queens take note…if you know what note-taking is.
If it’s a good quote attributed to JFK, it was probably written by Ted Sorensen,
We’ve apparently managed to raise a generation that can’t even stomach the sight of chalk graffiti concerning a political candidate they do not support. I weep for the future of this country.
I thought liberals were the party if inclusion? I guess it only is if you believe the way they do. If, and it is without a doubt that you are saying you should only be allowed to attend this college if you are liberal, and believe what we do, and tell you what to believe. Fear your President, he is the one that is going to get us all killed.
These are emotional ninnies who now and then clob onto a whacko liberal college professor who further enables their infantile garbage. Auntie Billary and Uncle Bernie will see that they continue to be Tools used for advantage. The rest of us better pull ourselves together for this next election….Trump 2016!
Biggest bunch of weenies I’ve ever seen! Go home and crawl back in your momma’s wombs! If you can’t handle some chalk on the sidewalks, you’ll never survive in this life!
Could you imagine if this behavior existed during WWII? We would all be wearing Swastika’s.
They don’t call it “The Greatest Generation” for nothing…
That’s a misnomer. The WORST Generation of cucked dupes is responsible for letting this happen.
It most certainly is not a misnomer. They’re the generation that won WW2. FYI, these special snowflakes who are soiling themselves over chalk writing are NOT the progeny of the Greatest Generation.
The USA and the West LOST WWII. The duped soldiers fought for Communism. This generation of mis-begotten vermin is the direct result of the Jews Wars.
And you are the direct result of a failed abortion.
//// So Jew. Abortion is the modern Jew blood sacrifice.
Where did you learn to hate the Jews? Never seen someone so hateful.
There’s nothing great about the “Greatest Generation”.
and these weak white cucks are afraid of women. They would rather play video games than go out with a women..Very sad and not even real men
Wow, another graduate of our Government run schools where she was brainwashed. You’d be speaking German right now if the greatest generation had not fought the Germans! What an ungrateful, self absorbed person you are.
And? Adolf tried to warn us about this. He predicted this.
When I read about this, I also became very disturbed and afraid. These young men and women will one day be running things… we should all be very afraid.
These students should not be in college and should be expelled for disrupting campus activities. Intense psychiatric help is needed if a Trump 2016 slogan causes them trauma. For any adult to compare a political slogan to a swastika on a Jewish fraternity is either retarded or very anti-semitic. Protests in the sixties were about life or death issues.
Errr….the Swastikas have always been painted by the Jews themselves. These current idiots are the rotted fruit of Cultural Marxism – the planned destruction of the West fomented by White hating, Christ hating Jews.
What is wrong with you?
Prove it wrong, genius.
You’re an idiot.
You’re a Klein. Hitting too close to home, I see. Try harder.
Oh, dear, you’ve triggered me.
Your micro – aggressions are overwhelming.
Good try but do not even bother with Denise. She will take your millennial safe place I need my mommy and make you cry.
At our local University it is the middle eastern students wearing swastikas to harass the Jewish students on campus. It’s been going on for years. They even tried to disrupt a speaker from Israel who came to the campus to speak. They finally got caught through their emails and now have jail sentences. Serves them right! There are lots of kids just trying to get an education and are having to put up with this garbage on campus. It’s disruptive and demeaning!
I am not a Jew but I believe people should be civil and remember what they went to college for. It’s not all about them.
the brain-dead cumb dunts whining about “Trump 2016” sure were supportive of the SPRAY PAINTED “#BLM” tags on the buildings…
typical actions of #BlakLyingMaggots…
BLM…
Not really.
The stupidity by these babies is mind-numbing. What will they do when they hit the real world?
What will they do? I’ll go out on a limb here and say they’ll probably demand that anything and everything that offends them be snuffed out, censored, and banned…
…and then they’ll be shown the door before their probationary period is up.
Ya’ll realize these students just became the laughing stock of the entire country, right?
You children are going to have a rude awakening when you get out in the real world where there are no safe spaces and nobody gives a damn about your “feelz.” Grow up and grow a set.
Unfortunately, they are going to be some companies HR nightmares. Nothing more than Middle school drama queens who always have to go see the counsler.
I hear that companies have to hire teachers to teach these kids how to communicate and work as a group. The cost of this will be passed on to the consumer. Double jeopardy, We pay to send them to school and then pay again in higher costs of good and services. See what the libs have done to our education system?
It is ironic. They complain about The Man, but The Man will always be there to bail them out. They are lost. They need to snap out of it. Liberal policies have been shown to be a failure, both morally and economically. It is a time for real change. Just say no to political correctness. Trump 2016.
BEST way to deal with this, college administration: ignore the crybabies whining over other’s expressive ideas, then EXPEL the ones that physically assualt and threaten students; It’s that simple.
Saint Johns University is another joke of a school who’s students ahwe weetawted. Lmfao.
I guess today’s kids just want to hear the echo of their own beliefs in
their safe space. No idea how bad it will be for them when they join the
real world and discover that lots of people don’t agree with them and
don’t care about their feelings. That’s going to take a lot of counseling.
This poster should be put up around Emory’s campus…on the windows of their parked vehicles…. posted in their restrooms….. !
I want to copy this image and send it out to friends to give them a good laugh!
Their new student News Paper.
I can’t stop laughing. That is just too good!
I can’t wait for the South Park guys to do a show on this, and you know they will. Then these cry babies will know real pain and suffering.
Can’t wait. Hope it comes soon. Sick and tired of this kind of crap. Our kids have been brainwashed and can’t think for themselves.
I have to say I do not support Trump. I am leaning more towards Cruz right now over Kasich. But I have to say this is crazy. Why are they so upset? We live in a free society. If students want to support Trump be my guest. I don’t care. Not everyone shares the same set of social and political values.This should be a teaching moment for the country. Some people are upset about what is happening, it just depends on who you are talking to in college, on the street, at work…etc.
What’s going to happen when these coddled grads find their next door neighbor with a cliton or trump sign in their neighbor’s yard? Come on Emory, what kind of leaders are we making. Sad day for this Emory alum. We have real world issues to deal with and I hope we are preparing our grads to tackle them. This is an embarrassment to the university no matter how they spin it !
When the one protester asked for him to draft an email acknowledging them without endorsing a candidate, I would have complied immediately. It would have begun, “A bunch of crybabies want me to shut down political expressions on campus because they’re afraid they’re such poor debaters they can’t be more convincing than ‘Trump 2016’.”
Seriously, what harm could those chalkings do? They’re going to convince people to vote for Trump? Really? If you think your candidate is better, you should be able to convince people to vote for him/her, and you don’t need anything from the administration. If you lack that confidence, what good are you and your candidate? If you’re so worried about a Trump presidency, go help an opponent’s campaign.
Chanting about “freedom,” what? You’re trying to take away other people’s freedom of speech. This isn’t about freedom. It’s about you being worthless children begging your surrogate father to shield you from the real world to avoid applying yourself towards a goal.
My son is risking his life in the Marines for free speech rights and you guys get upset about a campaign slogan. You make me sick.
Please thank your son for all of us who value freedom.
I will, thank you.
Me too. I have two sons in the Corps, one in the Army, and I spent 21 years in the military myself. So I have zero tolerance for this cowardly PC crap.
It’s hard to believe this country is the same one that almost single handedly won WWII.
We could not mount an effort like that in this country today.
Thanks the libs for brainwashing our kids for the past 30 years. This is who will be running the country in a few years! Very scary!
To be fair, Russia almost singlehandedly won WWII. The USA didn’t come in until about halfway through and mostly did cleanup work for Great Britain on the western front.
Really? You’re afraid for your safety because someone wrote something political in chalk on the sidewalks? Why don’t you grow a set! Wait until you graduate and see how the “real world” treats snivelers, such as yourselves! You bring shame to our school. Larry Cohen (’82)
“You’re afraid for your safety because someone wrote something political in chalk on the sidewalks?”
>these are probably the same pukes protesting at OWS, BLM (they don’t), and stopping traffic at Trump rallies.
We are so screwed. Can we raise the voting age to 85?
That’d be great. I hear the wall is gonna be that high, too.
Nice rack on the chick in the white and black sleeveless blouse in the narrow picture.
HATESPEECH! This is why colleges should be Safe Spaces!
Wow! ‘Emory Chalk’ has a Twitter feed. It’s a shame the reputation of a respected university will be damaged by this silly incident.
Good grief! What a bunch of pansy crybabies! I’m glad I am not teaching any of you wimps at my university. What a joke a university education has become. This is all brought on by spineless administrators.
and activist professors like Melissa Click.
I think you mean WELL PAID, spineless administrators.
Children, children, join us in the adult world. The administration should do its job and help these young people GROW UP!
Poor little possums. Its called free speech and if you’re afraid of chalk scribbles, you really need to get out in the world a bit more.
They need to get ready , it’s gonna happen…
As a university professor for the past 30 years, I have a personal
message for Dr. James W. Wagner and spineless administrators like him,
who have so demeaned university life through their cowardly appeasement
of cry babies: EFF YOU!
How did he appease them? He didn’t disavow Trump. He stayed neutral. What am I missing?
He wrote an email after saying he wouldn’t. He caved.
They did send an email but only to let the student body know that they ware using cameras to find out who broke the standing school rule of writing in chalk on the sidewalk w/o school permission. I think it was a good way to quiet a bunch of crybabies
The best way to deal with these ninnies was to tell them to grow a pair and get out of his office.
I’m sure my college president would have.
Of course he caved. The modern world is run by pussified managerialists who are afraid of their own shadows.
Because he simply didn’t tell them to deal with it, to get over it, that across the pond 34 innocent people were murdered at the airport and on the tube with another 250 injured and maimed.
College is supposed to give you a sense of geographic and historical perspective, so that you are capable of understanding what is important and what is not.
The name Trump or Clinton or whatever written with chalk is meaningless and anyone who takes worries about chalked names seriously is not qualified to teacher kindergarden, let alone run a university.
Good luck on the job front, I would certainly not consider a Emory Special Cupcake.
He listened to university students describe how chalkings made the feel.
Is it any wonder that no one wants to hire these idiots that are supposedly educated, I have a better idea why don’t you stand in a corner and wet yourselves. Idiots
i’m glad! More jobs for those of us a few years outta school since no one will hire the recently minted “college graduates.”!
And youngins wonder why inequality is so high!
“And we want softer toilet paper!”
and a “safe space” for student fascism.
Quaking in fear is not how you defeat Trumpism.
Trumpism cannot be defeated or stumped.
Deal with your feelz now, cuz President Trump it’s gonna be.
Yeah – that’ll happen… around the time the British empire rises again.
I hear it’s really cold in Canada in the winter…and Mexico doesn’t really allow immigrants (especially those who are welfare cases)…sooo…
pack your cold gear. You’re gonna need it when Trump gets coronated and he ejects the losers, haters, and w3tbacks.
You misspelled “cornholed”
I see you are in denial. Remember, they said the same things about Reagan….2 general elections and lost 1 state. BWAHAHAHAHA!
TRUMP 16
No, Trumpism cannot be defeated within his supporters since they are knuckle draggers but the electorate math is clear. He cannot win swing states and as a result he won’t win the presidency. The majority of his voters are in red states which were going to support the GOP candidate anyway no matter who it is/was.
LOL
Hillary is gonna be under indictment where she belongs.
You think Bernie has a snowball’s chance?
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Cult of Personality much? Sorry, but you act in many ways just as childish as the special snowflakes. This is juvenille crap.
Whining doesn’t help either. It was okay for Black Lives Matters chalk signs and signs for
Bernie but not for Trump!!! These libs want to shut down free speech unless they agree with it. They need to grow up and get a job.
…but quaking you are.
Not me, colonel Blimp. I’ve been out of school for fifty years and I’ve seen the dickwads come and go. Some of my Navy buddies would have laughed at this stuff…but you got your panties in a bunch over about twenty people at a tiny school.
“but you got your panties in a bunch over about twenty people at a tiny school.”
>there’s a much bigger picture than this one, skippy. I’m sure this happens everywhere you commiecrats are in charge.
Defeat Trumpism? That’s a laugh. You only make it stronger.
These kids should be rounded up and kicked out of school. Send them back to head-start/pre-school where they belong.
What has happened since I went to college in the late 80’s?! No one thought to buy his own chalk and write a choice expletive before Trump? Some one exercised his free speech. Now you exercise yours, but please don’t whine that the world isn’t set up to keep you from having bad feelings. You are responsible for how you react to others behavior and speech. You can choose to feel victimized or you can take a more positive approach. The universe is indifferent. Gain some perspective. Visit a homeless mission or volunteer at a hospice.
Holy crap – I’ve been hearing that students are becoming fascists, now I see it with my own eyes! It’s quite scary. Wait, maybe I should say “I don’t feel safe!” — a true statement, by the way. Will that stop these idiots from stomping on the freedom of speech and freedom of opinion?
Cleansing Fire and Right Wing Death Squads please.
aww…did we get sum feewingz hurt?
Please, I just want the World to be MY Hugbox. It’s only fair.
Feelz For Life, fam
These,……Kids……are supposed to be the future adults who might be the next to lead this country, and they are sounding like pre-schoolers on their first day away from the protection of Mom and Dad??? Over nothing more than Chalk Markings? Give me a break! They better learn to grow up and ACT like adults, instead of spoiled, over-privileged teenagers. What are they going to so when they enter the world of reality, and I don’t mean reality TV. If this sniveling is the best they can do, then they may as well go back and restart from the first grade. SMH. If I were their parents, I would either be very embarrassed by their reactions to something as trivial as this, or just disown any knowledge of them. GROW UP, for Petes sake.
And that’s why Obamacare covers them to age 26. smdh…
I am thinking that it might be time for the Department of Children and Families to intervene and take their 20-something children away from them and put them into foster care. My wife and I will take two of them. In five years we’ll have them achieve the Emotional-Behavioral Age of Majority and then they can vote! Meanwhile, throw their doting, helicopter parents in jail for child neglect.
The boundless depths of human depravity our children are forced to confront
This is more proof positive, that when the Walkers come, the liberals are not going to make it.
No, they will not. Liberals are the walkers, that’s the whole metaphor. The zombie Apocalypse is code for “when the socialists reach peak capacity and destroy the Republic”. Socialists are mindless, ravenous, destructive automatons who infect others with their sickness.
Can you show me on this doll where the bad man touched you?
I understand why the university must say something,(no one wants Muslim, Mexican & or Democratic students, etc., to use it as an excuse to “self destruct & or harm, themselves, etc.), so in that way, yes… offer them counseling… HOWEVER, Expressing our OVERWHELMING support nationwide, for D.J. Trump, is not the same as the large amounts of “college aged” students who block roadways, entrances to rallies, and express themselves very aggressively and VIOLENTLY towards EVERYONE who supports Donald Trump. So while the real intimidation effecting many women,1st time voters as well as elderly who are TRULY SCARED to attend rallies, etc goes unnoticed, the media continues to promote stories such as this that inspire others to use similar tactics to harass Trump supporters, while promoting their cause and political agenda. So even though these groups are saying they are a “peaceful” protester, religious, and or a religion of peace, and so-on, it does NOT make it any less real that WE, the majority are being threatened by very violent people who often times use passive-aggressive behavior, and “key words”, such as “in fear”, etc., to deflect the fact that there are many real reasons, that are valid that people around the Country support the only Presidential candidate that has consistently voiced their concern over security within America. We realize the Democratic party only supports special interest groups and minorities, but does that mean everyone should turn a blind-eye to the real abuse taking place? I certainly hope not.
TRUMP FOR LIFE
Emory
Board
Maybe they could schedule a visit from a survivor of the Kent State shootings. THEN maybe they’ll know what it’s REALLY like to feel unsafe on campus.
Forgot NCAA sponsorships, you guys need to be sponsored by Huggies and Luvs.
Emory students – what a bunch of dopes – including the administrators
I think this incident just got Trump 100,000 new voters
Sad but true
IT’S GLORIOUS!!!
Oy, MAGA moe time, goy.

And them of course we have the OTHER extreme.
“then”
Are you an alum?
You thirsty, kiddies?
“I’m supposed to feel comfortable and
safe [here],” one student said. “But this man is being supported by
students on our campus and our administration shows that they, by their
silence, support it as well … I don’t deserve to feel afraid at my
school,” she added.
Oy vey
lol
Wait til the REAL WORLD smacks them upside their schlongs and vajayjays.
What a bunch of limp wrist sissies. Do these sissies go to class at all? So many real men and women would love to have a full ride at a college. Luckily, this crap is laughed at by all in the real world.
They’re learning how to be Professional Protestors just like their comrades in Black Lives Matter.
This show the sad state of our colleges these days. They are run for the benefit of the Administrators, Profs and the unions. All they do is brainwash our kids, change the text books and get the kids to regurgitate their liberal agenda. These kids need to grow up and stop whining! Get their degree and get a job and become a productive citizen!! Sick of this.
The problem with virtually all the campuses today is nor “micro-agressions,” but macro-regression. The modern university has been narrowing the scope of education and discourse on campuses for so long that all that is left in the liberal is a narrow left to far left world view, with virtually everything seen through a prism of victimhood. This has simply infantilized students so that they get the vapors when they are confronted with an opinion, or a “chalking” contrary to their own. Therefore, they must petition the campus authorities for assistance, reassurance and therapy and of course the promise that something so dastardly must never happen again.
With that much adderall coursing through their bloodstream, you’d think they would show some backbone and creativity. Alas, their minds are mush.
I guess you’d prefer them to react in a more “adult” fashion by, say, lynching the next “cracker” to cross their paths? At least they’re complaining to authority figures and trying to get a redress of grievances, rather than to start bombing White churches. Maybe you’d like THAT better.
These man-children and women-children have no “grievances” to moan about, that’s the problem and all of you who make excuses for these toddlers in high chairs flinging their zippy cup at mommy are part of the problem.
These chronological adults are attending a university that costs $45,000 a year. By any historical or geographical comparison, they are all living lives of incredible opportunity and privilege, in a free country, where they have a Constitution and and Bill of Rights, where they have incredible educational and economic opportunity and a live span my grand parents could only dream of ahead of them. At their age, my father was in the North Atlantic, or in occupied France or in the Soviet Union, I was working and going to college.
An education, a proper education, which seems to be in short supply these days is supposed to broaden, not narrow your horizons, it is supposed to confront you with diverse opinions, to challenge your set of beliefs, to enable you to consider contrary viewpoints and be able to defend your positions, or if need be, change them.
When you are confronted with a chalked name of a political candidate that you may not like, you don’t have a grievance, you have an opportunity to explain why you disagree with him or why you want to elect one of his or her opponents. The answer to speech, of advocacy that you don’t like is not filing a grievance, winging and whining to an administrator, it is robust speech and advocacy of your own. It is of course offensive and objectionable speech that needs to be protected most of all, freedom never means shutting down a noisy minority by consensus, it means answering them.
I visited twenty or more campuses the year before last when I was traveling in the states and what you see more and more is a narrowing range of allowable and acceptable opinions. That is a dangerous thing indeed for a Republic or a Democracy, because when this happens on the left, the circle constricts tighter and tighter until there is one prescribed and correct answer to every question. And, it doesn’t matter whether a near totalitarian regime of approved thought is run by administrators or the wailing cry-bullies of the social justice movement, the result is the same, a closing of the American mind.
And of course, one look at what is happening in beloved Belgium, land of Van Eycx, Memling, Van der Weyden, Rubens and Erasmus, should chasten these infantilized adults. People in a trolly on the tube or at Zaventem, where I used to fly back to visit the sates, torn apart by bomb blasts, terrorists shot down on the streets, all coddled in Brussels neighborhoods. One would think even opening a paper, firing up the computer would give this small-minded and cosseted students pause, to make them look up from gazing at the lint in their precious navels, but it doesn’t.
Safe spaces and hugging plush toys and plugging your ears when a contrary thought is voiced is for kindergardeners, not “university” students.
Leftists have been grabbing control of the “education” system for decades.
And this is the result. And yet people can STILL not see that this is happening. They will deny it to the death.
It’s astounding to watch. And so sad.

There ain’t no brakes on the Trump Train, kiddies. Quit sh||tting yourselves and JOIN THE TEAM FOR THE BIG WIN
“diversity sprinkles”.
“I saw one big one, ‘Trump 2016,’ so I thought it was an isolated incident and I didn’t think much of it,” he said. “I thought, ‘Okay, it’s just a guy who wants to write whatever he wants to believe in for his political campaign.’ I was like, ‘Okay, I’m fine with that, to a certain extent.’”
College is preparation for the real world, not shelter from it. Grow up.
Yeah college isnt a place to feel safe. It a place where your ideas are challanged. if you want a safe space rent a bunker and stop having contact with the outside world.
“[Faculty] are supporting this rhetoric by not ending it,” said one student, who went on to say that “people of color are struggling academically because they are so focused on trying to have a safe community and focus on these issues [related to having safe spaces on campus].”
Perhaps if they focused on their studies instead of focusing on “safe spaces” they would succeed. Word to the wise: appealing to authority is the province of the weak. Crying like little children to Daddy Administration like they’ve had their toys snatched from them merely shows a contemptible lack of resolve in the face of challenge. Want to challenge authority, start acting like you have some. Don’t go looking for it in someone else. Do it for yourself.
This whole fiasco is sickening. Spineless turds, the lot of them. No wonder you only elicit contempt. People want a strong horse, not a puny weak one.
amen
Best post of the thread. This is a very wise man indeed. I am betting that your children are extremely well rounded and quite stable. If you’re not a dad already then you’ll certainly make a great dad. I tip my hat to you sir.
Thanks, man. I think people are sick and tired of these peoples whining. That summed up a lot of built up anger. Hopefully they will wise up. Good day to you.
Your post is, verbatim, what I wish President Obama had said to the students at Mizzou rather than reinforcing their “victim” viewpoint. He could even have driven the point home that even minorities can make it in this country if they will ignore the rhetoric and focus on the goal.
But Obama doesn’t want that. He WANTS a nation of stupid mush-heads.
And unfortunately, he’s getting it.
It’s a simple line of ideology to follow. He and his policies are Marxist, colleges and universities are dominated by Leftist ideology which is Marxist. This is a rather recent phenomenon, roughly about 60 years of a slow “long march through the institutions”, so to speak. If you have the time you should read The Culture of Critique by Kevin MacDonald. It will give you some insight to how we got into this mess vis a vis education, the media, and it’s controller by proxy, the government. America is not what it was, it is now a downward slope towards a Frankenstein Socialism. These youngsters are being brainwashed and psycho-genetically programmed in a bad way. Despite it all though, I have hope they will snap out of their dream state. It just takes persistence and understanding on everyone’s part. We need to remember that the very existence of this country is rooted in the First Amendment. Once we lose that, we are no better than North Korea. We need to guard it with our lives. Really.
This is all just common sense. We need to return to that. Trump 2016. Make America Great Again.
Don’t send your kids to Emory. They idiots cater to deadbeat minorities that have delicate sensibilities.
I guess life will be hard for these kids.
They need to get over their safe word,safe place bs. Welcome to the real world where you going to have to deal with everything. You can’t run to a bubble because you saw something that offended your participation trophy upbringing. So someone chalked someone name whippie do dah day. It’s life. Not everyone will agree with you,nor will you agree with them.
For nearly 250 years college aged Americans went and fought for this
country while seeing in front of them things so horrific most people
could not even imagine. Roughly 70 years ago, tens of thousands of
Americans age 18-21 ran onto beaches halfway around the world directly
into oncoming mortars & gunfire. Literally feet In front of them
they saw their friends and allies being blown up, shot, wounded, and
killed but they kept going forward.
We, as a nation, are truly headed quickly towards non-existence when tens of thousands of Americans age 18-21 need “safe spaces,” “trigger warnings,” and are SCARED TO TEARS
because they saw A U.S. PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE’S NAME CHALKED ONTO SOME
CONCRETE!
I had to check my calendar to see it was March 24th, because I was for sure this was an April Fools joke.
Sadly we see these types of people all over America college campus. Well i cant say i didnt see it coming when sjw, feminists and gender bender ideology was being passed around as a legitimate study.
I’m embarrassed at how soft and crybaby-ish our youth is becoming. “I don’t feel safe” “the school by not stopping it shows they don’t respect us”? Seriously, put on your big boy/girl britches. I don’t care who writes who they support for president. I’m not going to cry like an overdramatic child. When I was in school there were protests yes but not because people felt threatened by somebody’s support for a presidential candidate. JFC
Except it’s all a smoke screen. Kids have figured out that “I don’t feel safe” is the trigger phrase for administration to give in to whatever they want.
wow…you’d think university students would be the first ones to support free speech and to support people’s ability to choose whom they want to vote for. but nope. they’re now afraid – because of sidewalk chalk. what a frightening future if this is what our children cower from.
The sad part is the young women lose . These millennial guys would rather play video games than have a girlfriend. Plus like these young cucks would rather play with a cell phone
Their manhood has been psychological berated out of them. That said, let’s avoid the broad brush. I personally know more than a handful of millennial young men that have “rejected the memo”, completely distrust official authority, find this stuff to be even more ridiculous that most of us do, and have spit out the kool-aide. There is indeed a small, but extremely intelligent minority of millennials that “get it” more so than any past generation and it is this group that excites me.
I’m proud to say my son is in that group of Millennial koolaid drinkers. I think a lot of it has to do with upbringing — teaching kids to think (and not just “feel”) for themselves.
My God, these people complaining about Trump are the biggest wimps and idiots I have ever heard of. God help us all when losers like this are running the country.
Perhaps you should teach your students exactly what “Accept the Inevitable: Trump 2016” means. Dear students, it means Accept the fact that in 2016 Mr. Trump will be voted in as President. This is an intimidation move by students who found an oportunity to thwart any student who supports Trump into submission.
Yep INTIMIDATION TECHNIQUE TO SILENCE STUDENT TRUMP SUPPORTERS “I’m supposed to feel comfortable and safe [here],” one student said.
“But this man is being supported by students on our campus and our
administration shows that they, by their silence, support it as well … I don’t deserve to feel afraid at my school,” she added.
This cult of precious feelings ultimately derives from the lie of human equality. There is no reason to think divergent evolutionary history led to divergent physical characteristics but not divergent cognitive or behavioural characteristics. All the evidence we have suggests it did. But if we deny this fact then, as all the overt oppression fades away and yet ‘oppressed’ and ‘marginalised’ groups fail to achieve to the same degree and in the same proportion as Whites, we must then look to ever slighter differences in experience, ‘micro-aggressions’, to explain differences in outcome. Unless we are willing to blame the ‘oppressed’ groups themselves, but this serves no one. So we have this false notion that humans are like delicate flowers whose outcomes in life are affected by the slightest knocks. The only cure is the truth: different peoples are different.
I am soooooooo looking forward to the day these morons experience real pain…this is HILARIOUS!!!! Way to go guys…you’ve lost any little respect you possibly had left. Thank you for a GREAT laugh!!! Humor is indeed the best medicine and your lives are pure hilarity. Oh you poor souls…LOLOLOLOL
We’ve found the losers in life!!! Nice going Emory!!! Bwahahahahahaha
Emory crybabies: you are intellectually bankrupt. Your wanton hatred for free speech is disgraceful and un-American.
What a bunch of infantilized young adults. I don’t like Trump, but these “activists” push me closer and closer to supporting him.
Aha! The secret to ensuring Trump’s success. Hey, everyone — we need to infiltrate these campuses and chalk everywhere — TRUMP RULES!!!!! Let them snivel and coward. And to you Mr. Scott Bush, I don’t care for Trump one iota as a person, but I believe he is the guy that will help the country get going back in the right direction. I wonder what his response to this would be??? What a mental picture that makes.
Wow, the Emory students are in for a big shock, if they every get out of school and have to live in the real world……….. unbelievable bunch of whining, entitled, spoiled, clueless children.
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Those poor babies. We should send them to a real “safe space”. Like Anbar Province, or Mosul. Or Pyongyang. Better yet, drop them in the middle of the Atlantic where nobody can frighten them.
They are the personification of Pyongyang.
Folks, we need to RAISE the voting age to at least 30. These Me-Me-Me-llennials need to stay close to their mommies bosom, lest they need nourishment.
Seriously, the kids are pathetic. The Greatest Generation fought a war LONG before they were allowed to vote. Audie Murphy was 15 when he enlisted (he lied about his age), and became one of this nation’s most decorated heroes.
Kiddies, if you want to vote, SERVE FOUR YEARS FIRST, then and only then should you be allowed to vote, or until you reach an age where you can demonstrate some maturity.
Really, imagine what those young men were doing during the Greatest Generation as opposed the the Worst Generation (the ME ME ME llennials) What happened to our country, I mean really. These kids should be ashamed of what they are.
“Another student whimpered she didn’t feel safe”. The only thing that makes me feel safe is knowing I will probably be dead by the time these whimpering fools rise to any position of authority and in our country’s current trajectory they will. If we the people ever manage to regain control the first thing is to ensure all these baboons get put on the short bus. Then point it towards the nearest fema camp. Oh by the way and pardon causing any fear or panic….TRUMP RULES FEAR THE INEVITABLE!!!!!!
How old are the children attending Emory, three? I say that the administration compensate these poor, injured special snowflakes by waiving next semester’s student diaper changing fees. Give them something free and they’ll stop whining.
Seriously, this is middle school behavior.
Unfortunately the public school systems are producing what we see on the campuses today. Complete robots that are absolutely not ready to move ahead because the libitard brainwashing is more important than an education. Also the Democrats are well known for their immature nature.
yeah but when they are middle school there is a chance to save them… these guys are too far gone!
These infants are unemployable! Who in their right mind would hire a 23 year old tantrum thrower?
When liberal blogs are making fun of the students, you know the students have become a laughingstock.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/3/24/1505977/-The-Emory-University-Trump-2016-chalk-controversy
First these cry bullies lie about Trump calling him a racist which is a complete lie. They call him a misogynist which is another utter and complete lie; just ask his wife, children, or any woman who ever worked for him. Then they claim to be afraid of his name written in chalk because it shows that not everyone on campus is a trembling snowflake who wants to vote for the bankruptcy and destruction of the US as promoted by Bernie Klaus the socialist. Just look at the great results Chavez had in Venezuela where the people cannot find food or even toilet paper because of socialism. Look at socialist North Korea. Look at socialist Greece. All failures. Europe is failing under socialism too! Socialism leads to fascism every time and these little cry bullies are already getting into the fascist groove by suppressing the views of other people by lying about them to dehumanize them. What stupid babies!
I agree and well said too.
Brilliantly put
The Liberal hate and lying machine is out in full force on the mind control campuses. “Hey teachers, leave those kids alone!” All they are is just another brick in the wall.
If you think chalk outlines are scary, wait until you see the internet.
Cut these kids some slack, they had to call their helicopter parents in to think for them.
I wonder what their parents do think.
waah, I need my safe space. waah I need to be protected from ideas. waah. why did I go to University? I would have been safer in my mommy’s basement. Children who need to feel safe from a US presidential candidate written in CHALK should certainly not be at University. Total and complete laughing stock you Emory groupthinkers are.
would they be crying like punks if the murderous hag’s name was written instead
No, these people hate America and want to vote to bring it down, They will gladly vote for the candidate most likely to accomplish it, that would be Hilary the America Hating Hag.
How many of the babies, or their families, in the pictures above do you think have received Government Charity? Judging by how soft they are, probably all of them.
TRUMP 2016….Better get more counselors…..LOL
TRUMP 2016… Trump 2016. OK,go ahead run for your safe zone and get your blankie and pillow, and put your thumb in your mouth, as that what a safe zone is all about. There you go…….Feel better?
“remain unapologetically dedicated to inclusion, diversity and equity” Unless, of course, it’s something that we don’t like or agree with. In that case, all this is out the window. The more the adults validate this rediculous display, the more they do it. This is what happens when a generation of people are raised on the premise that everyone gets a “participation” trophy.
That is how Dumbocrats think. They don’t even realize that 50% of the people in this country disagree with them, they think that 50% has no rights. Dumbo Dumbo Dumbocrats.
First of all, it that a man or a woman in the first picture? WOW, they need counseling for this? What sheltered lives they must live, they have no idea how mean and harsh the world is, very sheltered. Their parents must be absolutely ashamed of their kids for being such sissy’s. If they are not, they should be ashamed of themselves for raising such sissy’s. What kind of a parent want’s their kids looking this stupid. I would never, ever hire not one of these idiots. All they will be able to do is sit at a desk and suck their thumbs. Trump 2016!!!! I was on the fence before I read this article, but now I know we need a strong person in the white house, not some namby pamby who will run at the first sight of trouble like the losers at Emory.
Trump 2016….Trump 2016…. Trump 2016….. Trump 2016….
And STOP CRYING.
Absolutely embarrassing. If I was associated with Emory, I’d immediately burn my diploma and bury my symbols of pussification.
These students have NO idea what real pain and discomfort it. Whiny, entitled, millenials who should be time warped back to the 60s when students held REAL protests and used their brains. Sigh, we’re raising a generation of soft, whiny children.
This is the direct result of “everyone gets a trophy” and “we don’t keep score at our baseball games because everyone is a winner!” BS these kids have been spoonfed since they were zygotes.
Bingo!
1) This world is a jungle and has never had a safe place. When they start working they will see how people take their kill at work every day.
2) Democracy implies accepting that other people have different views
3) Sometimes I wonder if the US would have been able to storm the beaches of Normandy on D Day with the current generation of young people lol
No. They’d fill their drawers, throw down their guns and run screaming to the Germans begging for a “safe space.”
We would have lost WWII with this generation.
Indeed we would, indeed we would.
This current generation of young people is the downfall of America. How many big corporations have and still are leaving this country, they see it. The wealthy are moving out as well. We have lost more millionaires to moving than we are making them in this country. Who is going to pay for everything these losers think is somehow owed to them? No one. We will be a 3rd world country and these kids will have absolutely nothing but a hungry belly. The stupidity is mind boggling.
“Wahhhhh! My vagina has so much sand in it!”…>and that is just the “male” protesters.
Grow up you idiots, learn the world doesn’t cater to you like you are a special snowflake. So the domestic violent group blm is okay but Trump supporters aren’t? Wow….
This is the best this “country” can produce? A generation of nihilistic, cowardly little kiddies, so called “social justice warriors”, who seem too incompetent to change their own diapers.

Excellent article!
Get a lot of real good info from that site. Glad you liked the article.
They have no idea Trump will secure their future, they are taught at a young age to hate Republicans, hate patriotism, hate America by liberal teachers. They are taught to shut down anyone that disagrees with them and whine when their widdle feelings may be hurt.
Let Clinton get in and suffer the same consequences previous grads the last 7 years have suffered…. NO JOBS, huge debt and living home with mommy and daddy
When I was at Emory, the faculty was the problem!! Now, it’s the students and the faculty! I see a bunch of students who need an excuse for not being able to keep up academically! When you study Western Civilization which they probably don’t, you will understand that our history is about FREEDOM!!!!! The true goal of Western civilization and its’ contribution is a society that can accept differences but live in harmony!!!!!!!!!!!!!Live and Learn!!! Many people have died to provide this for you!!! OPEN YOUR MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m just waiting for the demands to have exams deferred or to get extra time to write exams because of the emotional trauma this incident has caused to certain students, and it won’t surprise me at all if the administration at Emory agrees to the demands.
College went from a place of learning for a career and having some fun to a liberal boot camp where you cry/whine/btch/moan…. THERE ISNT ANY SAFE SPACES IN THE REAL WORLD!!!! College is supposed to prepare you for this, instead they do the opposite!!!!
They pay 50,000 a year to go to this college. It’s an institution with it’s own rules, and the least that the university could do is make them feel safe.
But they are safe. There is absolutely nothing to fear from chalk and to pretend there is is disingenuous at best and an assault on the same values they want upheld at worst.
But muh feelz! Other people are responsible for my own emotions!
The least it could do is prepare them for real life. As a parent who pays tuition, that’s what I expect.
The name of a political candidate (whether you like him or not) is not a threat to anyone’s safety. To suggest so is disingenuous.
Oh, but there will be once the Cultural Revolution triumphs! Everyone will be utterly free to think correct thoughts and feel safe in the sure knowledge that every unapproved idea has been suppressed.
I see NO difference in college and pre-school now a day other than the fact there is less whining/crying/fear in pre-school
That kid in the first picture with the beret and the ladies’ pants looks like Fred Armisen doing a Portlandia skit.
I laughed so hard, I almost spit out my coffee…… I can’t tell if it is man or woman.
He’s the ringleader in all this. Jonathan Pereza. Sociology major and something else worthless.
They are ALL unemployment majors.
I think this is just about the best comment in this entire thread.
“These people think differently than me, that makes them dangerous and I’m afraid for my life”
I like how they love to use the rules in place to defend their rights to free speech, but they should be let off the hook because they’re obviously right.
I have already gotten emails basically blackballing Emory Graduates from being hired. Who wants people like this working for you? Anyone?
Read my mind – posted that above. Can’t hire people that would attempt to ban differing political views and start protests/demands after seeing a Trump 2016 sign/chalking.
I highly doubt these sissy’s will make it out their front doors once their safe space toilet degree is complete.
They aren’t afraid. They are just saying that. They are pretending.
They know exactly what they are doing.
How come no one registered a complaint at Emory when “Black Lives Matter” was spray painted at Emory?
It’s all about shutting down conservative speech. It’s all about shutting down republicans.
They know exactly what they are doing, and, unfortunately, it is working.
Colleges used to be the last great bastions of free speech in America.
You know, think about how absolutely silly it is that someone is “afraid” of a “trump” sign written in chalk. They know it’s silly also.
It’s all pretend. They really aren’t afraid.
They sprayed this nearby the Latino center and someone wrote “build a wall.” They’re afraid because it’s more than just chalk.
And black lives matter hasn’t threatened to kick anyone out of the country.
Nope. BLM just threatens to kill whitey and cops.
No biggie, huh.
No they don’t. Even if a few people have said that, Black Lives Matter as a whole doesn’t condone violence or that type of language.

Tell that to these BLM protestors who were chanting they want dead cops now….
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dj4ARsxrZh8
I’ve seen this video before and, like I said, those are the actions of a few. You could find civil rights protesters who wanted violence and death. It doesn’t say anything about the organization as a whole.
almost like how supporting Trump doesn’t mean you’re a racist because some in the crowd are racists?
Sooo…. by this measure the Tea Party should not be judged by the near non-existent “racists” they were painted with. Same for Trump supporters?
First off, oh yes they DO. And huffpo is a POS website. No news (or much truth) there.
Second off, BLM has condoned rioting and many of its members have participated in those riots.
Third off, BLM is a horseshite “movement” who gives not one wit about the truth. They are composed of professional “victims”.
Done.
1) Criticizing the source of an argument without addressing the argument is a logical fallacy.
2) Rioting is different than killing. The Boston Tea Party was a riot, sports riots happen in this country all the time. Do you hear people talk about those riots the same way?
3) How is that true when they brought the world’s attention to these victims? Even the UN has addressed minority victims of police brutality.
4) You’re focusing your energy on black lives matter when the article is about Donald Trump chalkers.
1. Yes, it usually is. But huffpo is almost ALWAYS full of sensational B.S. They’re hardly a trusted news source.
2. “Threatening to kick people out” is WAY less violent (not violent at all) than rioting.
3. No one (except idiots) is saying that there is no police brutality. But BLM is COMPLETELY ignoring their largest enemy – themselves. Black-on-black crime is a MUCH larger problem. Yet somehow, BLM chooses to
ignore that fact. Easier to gain headlines by blaming white cops, since
that fits their racist narrative.
4. Then why did you bring them up in the first place?
Black-on-black crime is a MUCH larger problem. Yet somehow, BLM chooses to ignore that fact.
Please stop with this myth. There are many many activists hard at work within black communities themselves from BLM. And the police in the Freddy Gray case, for example, were not white. SO how can you say that they are blaming WHITE cops with “their racist narrative?”
Because this is how the “movement” got started, isn’t it? Back with Treyvon Martin? Yep. That’s it.
Now I will NOT doubt that there are a lot of fine folks who are trying to work these real issues (and they ARE real issues) and are trying to find solutions to the problems of police brutality (and indeed, it DOES exist).
But it’s not a myth. There is so much black on black gang/drug crime in Chicago alone that it’s ridiculous. And somehow, BLM and race-baiters like Sharpton always seem to miss it.
That is not a myth… it’s a fact.
Although technically Zimmerman is white – so your point about “racism” towards whites is kind of lost. The myth I was referring to is the statement that BLM is “ignoring their enemy.” The women who started the BLM hashtag are very clear about what “the enemy” is. *THAT* is what has been lost in the conversation. The rest is irrelevant to what is happening at Emory.
Technically, Zimmerman is Hispanic. Tell Hispanics they’re white in many places and you’ll get met with hostility. Even MORE technically, Zimmerman was a HUMAN. As was Trayvon. And Zimmerman was an IDIOT for doing what he did. Race not withstanding.
If the BLM membership far and wide is SO enamored with the original intent of their organization, why do they not SAY so? Nothing is keeping them from doing that. Nothing.
Well if they were clear at the start, it’s surely lost now. And I’m not the one who brought up BLM in this forum to begin with.
If the BLM membership far and wide is SO enamored with the original intent of their organization, why do they not SAY so?
Omg what “members”, it’s not a club, it’s a movement. There’s this thing called “Twitter” and “the internet” and something called hashtag activism…never mind, just forget it, ok
No problem.
Do you not understand the term member? That means those who identify themselves as being with BLM. Words have meanings.
“Zimmerman was an IDIOT for doing what he did.”
Shooting someone who’s trying to kill you by bashing your head repeatedly in the concrete is not idiotic. The court testimony revealed that’s exactly what happened.
He was an idiot for trying to play cop and getting that directly involved.
Especially after the cops told him directly to “back off, we’re on our way”.
So… he was an idiot for getting himself into that situation in the first place. And just look what it cost him.
“Especially after the cops told him directly to “back off, we’re on our way”.”
I like how you put that in quotes…as if that what was actually said. I see this done all the time by people who never bother to fact-check what they’re quoting:
The audio and transcripts of the call are easily available online.
1) It was not a cop, it was a dispatcher.
2) When the dispatcher asked him if he was following Martin he said yes, and the dispatcher said, “We don’t need you to do that.”
In other words, they didn’t say “back off” or “we’re on our way,” nor did they “directly” say that.
Ok, you go ahead and get yourself in that position if you want.
The dispatcher represented the cops.
But he was stupid and continued to pursue. And just look what that cost him. He was incredibly luc.ky he wasn’t killed (either in the fight or by others afterwards) and he was lucky he didn’t end up in prison.
Take the risk if you want. Good luck to you buddy – if you think it’s worth all that, then please. Be my guest. If you’re that stupid, be my guest.
But I guess that to you, some crime Treyvon may have gone on to commit that night was worth Zimmerman all that trouble. And I guess you’re willing to ignore the advice of the dispatcher and get that deeply involved when the cops are on the way.
You just do that. I hope you have a LOT of money for lawyers and are prepared to possibly go to jail for such bullshit.
I thought it got started with the “Pants up! Don’t loot!” riots.
You brought up Black Lives Matter first. Yes, black people commit crimes, but they go to jail for it. Statistically, a black person is more likely to go to jail than a white person who commits the same crime, and they’re more likely to receive a higher sentence. In contrast, police officers never get convicted. There are plenty of protests to stop black on black crime, but black lives matter doesn’t focus on that. It’s like telling the breast cancer foundation to protest all types of cancer.
Only a minority of the protesters riot, but there is a clear double standard. You didn’t address the Boston Tea Party or sport riots that I brought up. And the methods that Trump have suggested, such as placing a temporary ban on Muslims, are just unconstitutional.
Regardless of the source, it’s still a logical fallacy until you read the article and address it.
You need to brush up on your timelines. I didn’t mention BLM first. You did. And in OUR particular thread, I don’t see where you mention sports riots etc. until now. Not in the conversation between you and I. Maybe somewhere else in the forum, but not in our conversation. And that’s not the topic anyway. This was about ninnies who are afraid of everything, including chalk and a stupid college administration who coddles them.
No one (except the blind) is saying there’s not a problem. But the BLM bandwagon seems to be more about cops shooting blacks than the larger problem of blacks shooting blacks. Lots more of that than cops shooting blacks.
BLM is justifiably angry but their public actions sure seem to be more about hate and vengeance than justice. At least via the majority of their actions.
And I don’t recall anywhere in the Constitution where it says we have to let just anyone into the country.
You’re mistaken. Protestors at the Trump rally in Chicago were mobilized with help from MoveOn and their were BLM soldiers in tow. These college kids are obviously sympathetic if not outright associated. It’s naive and disingenuous to say otherwise. They are all cut from the same cloth and wear the same slogans. They are all the same. Attacking Trump in Chicago and attacking Trump in Emory in the name of the false narrative of “social justice” is evident of that. They are brothers in arms: Social Justice Warriors.
Oh, we’re in COMPLETE agreement here. These ninnies are all in with the BLM types, I’m sure. And no doubt Ayers and Move On were involved.
Sorry, I meant to reply to James. Your avatars are identical.
No worries
And the article is not about Trump-chalkers.
It’s about whining ninny-babies who cannot handle reality.
They condone it by not condemning it when violence or murders continue to be done in their name. When I see them publicly condemning the racist behavior and rhetoric of their supporters & activists, I may be willing to view them in a different light. Until then, they just seem like another dangerous radicalized hate group. And I did read the article you posted but a HuffPost article from 2014 is a pretty weak argument.
In a recent interview with Megyn Kelly on FoxNews, a BLM protester [at a Trump rally] was asked about reports of the protesters shouting ‘Pigs in a blanket, fry ’em like bacon’. His response? “Aw, we was just kidding around”
Oh.. but everyone who supports Trump is a racist right? Trump said keep ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS out of this country. How is THAT racist? Oh my god.. he wants to enforce the LAW!! How dare he!
No, Black Lives Matter has only called on cops to be killed.
Yes. A very big difference there.
Yes but they have threatened violence. The black lives movement is a farce and as a black man I am embarrassed by it.
1.”Sprayed” is a lie. You’re deliberately conflating chalking (political speech, no actual damage done) with tagging (vandalism).
2. I’m not sure I follow your argument that enforcing our immigration laws is somehow worse than advocating the murder of police. Seems nonsensical to me.
I don’t think the average IQ is very high within those “fearful” children. But then if one’s major is finger-painting the intellectual demands aren’t all that strenuous.
I suspect if these people ever do manage to get a “real” job, they will wear a path in the carpet to the HR office with their incessant victimization…
…but I’m betting more likely than not, the carpet will be safe.
Are students really getting “the vapors” or are they just liars about their emotional responses to things that they hate?
Trump 2016!
Apparently you can’t post on here without it being censored typical liberal free speech.
Censored? From what I can tell, you have created an entire two posts.
Change your name already? A few minutes ago it was James. Now it’s Jack Jones.
What gives?
I created 3 that said waiting for approval by emory wheel then disappeared.
Huh. Well, I dunno then…
Scroll up and I have always posted as Jack Jones don’t know who this James you speak of is.
Oooops. My bad. I clicked on the names but the web page showing the profiles didn’t update.
Sorry ’bout that!
What a bunch of garbage. Signs saying Stop Trump are ok, but chalkings of Trump 2016 are somehow “hate speech”?
I think I’ve decided to keep my business a safe space and bar people who would support the banning of free speech or support the banning of people with different political views – I will be throwing Emory student resume’s in the garbage – if they can’t handle a Trump 2016 chalking without a wholesale protest and effort to ban, they have no chance in the real world.
Instead of muslims and Mexicans Trump should kick all the (Censored) liberal arts majors out of the country to Denmark or Sweden or somewhere people don’t give a (Censored) about illegal immigration and terrorism.
Amen.
Believe me all those countries care now that they’re being overrun.
Historians are also liberal arts majors, but I have yet to see a historian supporting the ‘refugees’ in Eastern Europe.
There I fixed it for you liberal tools.
Oh, no. The little snowflakes are butthurt again.
Please. That spineless President should have immediately shown them the door.
That spineless president should be shown the door.
They should at least post the names of all those pictured; that would at least stop all the students of Emory being blackballed from getting a future job, like what is likely happening now.
True enough. I’m sure there are good students there… who are angry their soon-to-be-awarded degrees are now akin to toilet paper.
Seeing as how there aren’t counter protests we should probably assume that all Emory students are unable to function in the real world. The only thing that can save their reputation at this point would be a large protest in favor of freedom of expression on campus where a large number of students expressly dissociate themselves with the sniveling little fools that marched on the dean’s office a few days ago only to make him look pathetic as well.
These kids are a bunch complainers. What if it was Bernie Sanders they would probably be cheering. These kids are a bunch wieners who need to toughen up and realize that not every shares you’re beliefs and by complaining and protesting about other peoples beliefs you are a communist.
These kids will never survive in the real world.
We really do need to bring back the draft…
Wow don’t get me wrong I in no way support Trump or agree with him or his ideas but come on kids you can’t have your cake and eat it too. These scared little kids are demanding the university denounce Trump which I don’t thin the uni should do as he is a presidential candidate no matter how repulsive his words are. One of the “protesters” stated he saw one Trump 2016 chalking and thought ok but then he said he saw one that said “Accept the Inevitable: Trump 2016” and was alarmed by that why should he be alarmed because someone strongly believes Trump will win. I’ll bet if the Trump supporters protested and said that they want the uni to denounce Sanders or Clintion these same kids would be up in arms and yelling at the uni for even considering doing such a thing. I hope Trump does not get the Republican nomination and if he does I hope and pray he does not win the Presidency but what these kids are complaining about is protected first amendment speech and need to calm down. Now if someone had written “Trump 2016 lets get rid of the Mexicans and Muslims” then I could see being alarmed about it.
Actually, it isn’t protected first amendment speech as it was written on private property in violation of their rules for chalk displays, so really it was just vandalism. However, them being upset at the rather benign content of the vandalism is where it gets silly.
School is not private when funded by tax dollars.
Great article. thank you for writing it. Helps to understand Emory better.
#1) I would be very interested in seeing some pro-protestor comments on this forum. All I see are comments from critcizers of the protests.
#2) I think it’s important for Emory to figure out what it wants its graduates to be. Mizzou learned that some parents have decided mizzou is not right for them. Emory should consider what’s to happen for next year’s enrollment. i’ll be watching closely. I totally support Emory’s right, and their students’ rights, to be afraid of and offended by whatever they choose. This is great, free, country.
#3) Thank God there are still schools like Grove City College around. I know where my son will be going. In the end, there’s a place for activists and community organizers so I suppose we need places like Emory. But we also need people who will work and build up the GDP, so we need other kinds of schools too.
Best of luck !
uncleturkey: Here is some free speech for ya, you are a special kind of mentally challenged, and your kind of sickness, would be the ruin of this country. No worries, people like you, will always end up as cannon fodder.
I am 100% in favor of your right to say this. Even right it in chalk on a sidewalk if you like! Thank you for feeling free to voice your opinion.
Thank God there are still schools like Grove City College around. I know where my son will be going.
Colleges such as that are not truly diverse and reflective of society. Are there any non-Christians there? Are there gay and trans-students there?
Emory is an incubator of diverse thought. These students are learning to get along with others who are different from them, and they are trying to feel safe in doing so. The world is very violent. I applaud them for speaking out, instead of cowering or isolating themselves, as they would at your college. Or would you prefer for them not to be heard?
No one cares. If they’re afraid of diverse thought and opinion they shouldn’t be in college.
huh? getting along with others who are different? someone likes trump and their response is ‘getting along’? Isn’t what they’re doing exactly NOT incubating diverse thought?? Shutting down those who think differently? Used to be diversity meant different ideas and thoughts. Seems like a lot of folks want diversity of sexual orientation but not of any kind of opinion or ideology. I kind of prefer a world where people can voice their opinions no matter how distasteful they may be to me personally. Kind of a fan of bill of rights..
Of course there is diversity of ideas and thoughts at Emory University. Why are you focusing on sexual orientation as diversity?
um..you brought it up first. see your post..
So your point is ‘of course there is diversity of ideas and thought’ ….so long as it’s not about supporting trump? (who I don’t care for either for the record). Anyway, I have work to do. Enjoy your Easter.
You have got to be kidding. How is it “diverse” to shut down a differing opinion? How are they “learning to get along with others” when they pull this stunt? They are hypocrites of the worst kind. And so are you.
They are hypocrites of the worst kind. And so are you.
You have the right to think and say that, but who cares? Such an angry keyboard warrior. blah blah blah
I’m not angry. A bit disgusted. In disbelief regarding the hypocrisy…..but not angry. Really glad I’m not graduating from Emory this year.
And yet, somehow you were completely unable to answer Fawn’s very clearly posed questions, and your only response is to project your frustration onto her. Sad.
And they serve as “an incubator of diverse thought” by suppressing diverse thought (support of political candidates they don’t like)? Logic fail.
Their offense justifies exactly zero response from administration. Their is no right guaranteeing non offense. Shut up and get back to class wussy.
Good grief, these little wuss pukes are our future?
We are in very serious trouble.
Is every one of these freaks taking Gender Studies or Underwater Basket Weaving.
I seriously doubt they are taking any curricula where they can actually earn a living.
Pu**IE*
This is hilarious.
They actually protested because they felt unsafe.
Because someone wrote pro-Trump slogans, in chalk, on some steps.
These are our pro-tolerance future leaders of America?
Maybe they could pull their numerous “participation trophies” out of their butts and grow up?
One of my friends in Atlanta calls this university’s students, fittingly, The Emeroids.
America has lost its collective mind…
I think the administration subsequently has changed their tune a bit and the all out manhunt for the perpetrator is off. I obviously don’t know for sure, but if I had to bet some money I’d be willing to put it on them already having seen the campus surveillance tapes and the Trump 2106 scribbler turned out to be non-white. No further comment will be forthcoming.
Say it ain’t so!
These dastardly deeds will go unpunished? No! Hanging is too good for them. They need to be drawn and quartered.
“You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!” Might I recommend a quiet evening with Jack Daniel’s or Johnie Walker to ease your pain.
The NEW face of Emory DIAPER & CHALK babies!
Take them and lock them up in prison, then see how offended they are by chalk words.
Their complaints would be valid if they focused on just the fact that
the chalkings were done in violation of their campus chalking rules,
but to focus on the content when it is just support for a candidate in
current elections, is absolutely absurd. Even though I’m a progressive liberal, their approach and expectation of having the administration not just denounce the rule violation but then take a clear stand for or against a political candidate embarrasses me.
If I ever see one of my children on the news saying they feel “unsafe” over a chalk drawing on campus I will drag them to the Army recruiter myself. How is that for feeling “unsafe”?!?
A former member of SNCC and CORE when it counted, I nearly got kicked out of my college for my involvement in a demonstration in favor of integrating it. I have spent my life in publishing and as a journalist.
And my grandfather was a founder of Emory.
But the notion that things at Emory are so insane and badly administered that this wonderfully diverse bunch of snowflakes aren’t simply occasions for uncontrollable laughter, is triggering all kinds of pain and suffering in me.
There is an election on. Everyone is free to support their candidate. No one is free to suppress someone else’s expression of support because they are either so badly educated or so mentally unstable that one wonders how they got into Emory at all.
And what can be sillier than these shrieks over such innocuous chalkmarks?
Well one thing can. The President of Emory and some superfluous deans acting like it matters,
I am not terribly surprised, but glad to see, that someone who took part in the fight for equality when it really WAS a fight for equality has maintained their clear vision through subsequent decades. You are an inspiration that I hope this younger generation can learn from.
It has been particularly painful to see the leaders of the great Civil Rights Movement like King and Abernathy succeeded by charlatans like Sharpton and Jackson who now lead what would more accurately be called “the snivel rights movement” based upon racial blackmail, rather than high principles of equality for all.
The Emoroids are the product of this tortuous misunderstanding, looking for ethnic advantage rather that rights for all in common while squalling about their emotional sensitivity as if this should be anyone else’s problem.
President Wagner’s attempt to find an accommodation with them makes him an embarrassment as an educator. These kids need a far better instructor than he. And Emory needs a more principled leader.
Hahaha, somebody call a whambulance!
I feel just terrible for these precious snowflakes…. Something similar happened to me just last week! I was walking downtown and someone asked me if I “accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior?”.
I immediately fell to my knees, crippled with mental anguish and pain. Luckily I was able to find the strength to get up, and retreat to my safe-space.
After collaborating with my therapist, (only after he calmed me down and soothed my wounds, of course) we petitioned the mayor to talk to the chief of police and issue an arrest warrant for the disgusting crime of expression of personal opinion.
I just pray these poor kids have the chin to survive this horrific attack.
/sarcasm off
This is a dangerous path for these kids to head down. If they succeed in silencing and punishing this Trump supporter, that opens the door for anyones opinion to be considered criminal/ be silenced if enough of the snowflakes get together and cry.
Seriously, did they not read 1984? Or perhaps Brave New World? Or even see V for Vendetta? You chastise one group for their opinion, you make it possible for it to happen to yourself.
I’m ashamed to be a millennial… 🙁
Disclaimer: I’m not a Trumper, just disgusted with this situation.
Exactly. And I’m certain they cannot begin to comprehend what you so clearly explained either.
Oooh boy have you got a RUDE awakening when you re-join the real world. There are no “safe places” and rest of the doesn’t share your hypersensitivities to “micro aggressions”, “entitlements” or any of that other PC mush.
You are responsible for your own: 1) Housing 2) Health 3) Feeding 4) Happiness.
It’s called being a “Responsible Adult” – TRY IT.
I wonder how the upcoming “your microaggressions make me feel unsafe” generation is supposed to compete with China’s next “do or die” generation.
It’s surreal…the West destroys itself from within.
“I may have a middling GPA in a soft major, what what really sets me apart is my passion for SOCIAL JUSTICE!”
It sets him apart for a career in making coffee or answering phones in a call center.
A Trump chalker on the loose?
Has anybody called out the Georgia National Guard to protect the students? Maybe the girl’s dorms should be locked down before sunset. This could be the worst thing to happen to Atlanta since Sherman.
Looks like we should not count on Emory graduates to be the leaders of tomorrow as they will be hiding under their beds but even so we should protect the little darlings.
The sad commentary here is that a small number of people themselves took advantage and abused the privilege of a free system, radicalizing their own agenda. The truth is that they were not threatened by the chalk writing. For all we know they could have written it themselves. But they furthered their cause on a national level at the expense of the reputation of the university and possibly careers of others. Guess what? It worked. They got their political message out, yet the remainder of the student body remain stunned like a herd of deer in a spotlight. The ignorant mass still seem confused that the prestige of the university was used quite ingeniously as a podium to stand on.
This unrest is a direct result of affirmative action. Here’s how it works:
1) School admits minority students with lower test scores/GPA due to affirmative action
2) Minority students fail to keep up with smarter kids who deserve to be there on their merits.
3) Minority students notice that school support staff is primarily the same race as them.
4) Minority students become insecure.
5) Minority students become easily triggered due to low self-esteem.
6) Instead of blaming their own lack of initiate and intelligence, they lash out against the University.
Lather rinse repeat at colleges across the country. And it’s all because of affirmative action.
Uh, no. The students and the university’s behavior/response are ridiculous. But AA has little to do with it. The biggest whiners on campuses are entitled, white students who have “benefited” from helicopter parents and bottomless resources to ensure they get into a university they are not capable of attending. These are the students whose parents do their homework for them, “read over” their papers (i.e., rewrite them), use their “contacts” to get their kids advantages they don’t deserve, email professors and administrators to beat them down anytime little Courtney or Hunter makes a B. And so on. I know. I teach them at a university about half a notch down from Emory (which I attended).
Pretty tough to refute his basic contention, though. If you apply lower admission standards to a particular group, that group is going to either have to concentrate in courses that are intrinsically less rigorous, get a break on the grading, or not do as well academically. That’s just the inevitable consequence of racial preferences in admissions (applies just as well to legacies/ athletics/ whatever other group gets in under easier standards).
What you are saying is and what johnathan is saying are not mutually exclusive, however.
I have looked around at several articles from many different affiliations regarding this laughable situation, I have not seen even one post in defense of these children attending Emory, not one. Even the most delusional, illogical liberal finds this ridiculous.
“Even the most delusional, illogical liberal finds this ridiculous.”
Unfortunately, not all of them do:

Get your ” I survived the chalkening 2016″ t-shirts while they last.
Forgive for being insensitive, but if you feel afraid on campus because someone posted “Trump 2016” in chalk on a sidewalk, go jump off a cliff. Grow up. People don’t all share the same opinions.
The entire world is laughing at you Emory University, Emory Administration and students… You will be considered clowns for the memorable future.
Indeed, a century from now, when historians document the Wuss Era, they will show Mizzou and Emory, and no doubt quote that uber-wuss who said they deserve to feel safe at school. They will go down in history as one of the all time wimpiest humans who ever lived.
When I first heard about this, I thought is was a joke, some kind of satire. Sadly, that was not the case. What a pathetic group of kids! What are they going to do when they leave college and enter the REAL WORLD, where not everyone will agree with you??
The only issue here is blatant anti-semitism. Some of these students protested that a swift FBI investigation to swatistikas drawn on a Jewish fraternity at Emory should equal the response to Trump 2016 scribbled in chalk on sidewalks. If these students do not see one as a hate crime and the other as political speech , they should not be in college anywhere.
Is the school offering counselling sessions for students who have obviously been indoctrinated by the PC groups to believe that support of an opposing candidate is a dangerous threat to human life and well being? These kids don’t need college educations. They need to be taught that life is going to be filled with people who disagree with their views, and who say things and write things that they don’t want to hear. It’s long past the time for them to grow up. Soon, these childish babies will be breeding and we’ll have another generation of jerks afraid of their own shadows.
Our Founding Fathers (and Mothers) are rolling in their graves, disgusted and ashamed of such pathetic weakness and whining. Imagine the REAL threats those early Americans had to endure, and they had no one to whine to. Students, go home. What the school loses in money, it will gain in the respect of real adults.
It’s one thing for the kids to act like this, but why is the administration even engaging them for one second instead of telling them to get lost?
they’re either complicit in the nonsense, or so afraid of liberal media coverage that they dare not take a stand.
I would be willing to put money on it that the person who reported this, and claims to be so afraid, is the one that wrote it in chalk.
Don’t think that isn’t possible. It happens time and time again.
They should be investigating that person FIRST.
You all just assume that this kid is telling the truth. You’ve forgotten what it’s like to have kids.
Racial hoaxes on campus are at an all time high. If they can’t find racism after a lengthy witch hunt they simply fabricate it.
These students are either truly afraid or they are not. If they actually are afraid then they are at
this time failures as human beings. On the other hand, if they are not afraid then they’re just plain liars. So much for “higher education” at Emory.
Terrified that someone wrote “Trump 2016” in chalk? They should be more terrified of the chance of Clinton or Sanders winning an election!
Dear Everyone: TRUMP 2016 {chalkboard font}
Can we spray these kids with something to make them sterile??
Dear Emory victims. I’m so sorry I have oppressed you by paying for your college education.
These kids are seriously making me embarassed to be a liberal. (Please, please don’t judge all of us liberals by these whiny little pukes. Even the Daily Show is poking fun at them)
unfortunately, they are the natural extension of the train that you put into gear. conservatives counsel self-reliance. liberals counsel the power of redress via governmental/institutional bodies. instead of studying, and paying no mind to what someone “chalks” on a small piece of cement in one little place on a big campus, these students foolishly act out what liberal academia has taught them. sorry, you’ll have to take some responsibility for this.
My neighbor just put up a Bernie sign. I’m now so traumatized I need round the clock taxpayer funded psychiatric care. Please see my go fund me site too!
I don’t like Trump, but traumatized by chalk drawings??? Emory’s administrators need to tell these whiny, entitled babies to grow up and deal with it, and quit trying to censor the speech of others.
These kids are disconnected idiots that have no direction.
Unbelievable. These students have completed the course on becoming utter crybabies.
I think you may mean “crybullies”.
“KEEP ON TRUMPIN!!!” Spoiled lil dumbass rich brats
Article IV Section 4 U.S. Constitution: The United States of America is founded as a Republic and NOT a democracy.
Republic and democracy are not synonymous: they’re two totally different forms of government. In fact, democracy is antithesis to our Republic.
Our Founding Fathers had great disdain for democracy (democratic/mob rule) and hence, they gave us a Republic (rule by law) complete with a distinct Constitution (individual liberties). Ergo: We are a Constitutional Republic.
Edmund Randolph said, “. . . that in tracing these evils to their origin every man had found it in the turbulence and follies of democracy.”
John Adams said, “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There was never a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”
Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”
Ben Franklin said: A Republic ma’am…if you can keep it.
Be careful what you wish for, Emory rubes. Democracy (mob rule) is not your friend.
They are exercising their ‘oppressed’ privilege to demand obeisance.
They are called big girl panties…get a pair!
Is this the 1st of April? They see a chalked name of someone they disagree with and react like this? It’s a joke right?
So all the other students can then demonstrate and demand any thing thwy don’t like as Scary and making them afraid. The only students that could “fear” Trump’s campaign are those that do not comprehend that unless he acts as a dictator that enacts laws or goverance without Congressional and Justice approvals (like Obama) then the wall and the change in visa entries can’t happen anyway. But if they are afraid of deportation due to having illegally enetering the US and being a FELON because of that illegal entry then should they even be talking about freedoms they have not earned nor been given as a part of being a citizen. Our republic was based on the antient greek ideology of statehood and you had to be a citizen to be allowed to be heard. Sooo should we maybe have INS go ask who is afraid?
If these idiots, useless without any value at all, are so fearful of the words “President Trump”, I recommend that they be offered fatal doses of Pentobarbital to ease their pain.
Apparently Emory does not prepare its students for the real world.
Good luck telling your supervisor at your first job that you can’t work on a team with Johnnie because he’s a Republican.
Why take the chance. Just throw the Emory resume in the trash.
Some places have software that scans resumes, maybe the word Emory will be added for ones to be deleted.
Does Emory University have a kindergarten division?
Apparently Emory University IS the kindergarten division.
There those times you read a story and think, “This has * gotta * be from ‘The Onion’!”
Then there are those times you subsequently find out it’s not the case.
Even Peraza’s outfit and stance in the first picture seem ready-made for satire.
Wow. Just …. wow.
So they received “death threats”, ‘eh?
Given this group’s proclivity for overreacting, I’m guessing the “death threat” was an anonymous note from a fellow student, threatening to report him or her for parking their Vespa on the sidewalk.
No. The death threat is what the complainant IMAGINED someone wanted to write, and so wrote it out on a piece of paper in his own handwriting.
You have to keep your leftist levels of crazy straight.
Instead of a semester at Emory,,they should spend time at Paris Island and let the drill instructors ,introduce them to a dose of the real world
How long do you think they would last….20 minutes?
Pretty sure that even the joke that is USAF basic training would have them passing out within the first “stand in formation at attention while the [admittedly air farce] drill instructors conduct a ‘shark attack'”
Wait until one of these silly little snowflakes graduates, gets a job and comes in for the six-month probationary revie,w and has to take some criticism. Imagine the reaction:
“This is supposed to be a safe place and you’re criticizing my work.”
(Supervisor, looking perplexed) “This criticism is designed to make you a better employe.”
“No, no, no. You can’t say this about me. I’m having a micro-aggression moment.”
(Supervisor) “You are, huh. Well, here’s another micro-aggression moment for you. Get your a** out of here, clean out your f****** desk and get the f*** out of the building. You’re fired.”
If you were in charge of hiring would you take the chance if you saw Emory U on the resume or cover letter? If you told your Emory co-worker that Global warming was not real the sissy would have you hauled down to Human Resources. Or if you were the owner they would sue.
Why take the chance?
Exactly.
Wow! Is it April Fool’s Day already?
No, just your average Conservative fools egging each other on.
sure. keep supporting these clueless students in their assault on free speech. you look really smart when you do that…
I guess the word ISIS makes them feel warm & fuzzy!
Nice racism. Oh those muslims brown people are soooo bad.
ISIS is a race now?
When someone says ISIS, I’m sure no physical characteristics come to mind at all. Get real.
Surely someone has told these students that the worldwide left is not standing beside them because we have no sympathy for their protests against free speech.
May I recommend that Emory students read something called the Constitution of the United States. In particular pay attention to Amendment 1. I think you will find explanations there.
If someone wore a confederate flag tee shirt in front of these special snowflakes I bet at least one would stroke out.
Yet theses sissies have no problem with BLM the group that chants they want dead cops.
Some even had an anxiety attacks over these very dangerous TRUMP2016 chalk drawings.
Have the Special Snowflakes at Emory heard what Bill Mahar said about them on his HBO show, and will they be demanding that HBO be banned on Campus for his hate speech?
Modern liberal arts colleges have devolved to decrying white privilege (you know, the people that pay to go there because they have neither AA or athletic scholarships) in between screaming for safe spaces where they can all literally have themselves a good cry about inequality while hugging each other and stuffed animals in a kindergarten-like atmosphere. I’m not even making this up.
This country is so screwed.
Nah. It just means that they are so infantalized, that when the country breaks down into a civil war, those who are most in need of being culled will be easy to dispatch.
I cannot decide who is more pathetic; the whiny, perpetually aggrieved student body; or the spineless administration they have cowed. Our universities are an embarrassment. My children will surely not be attending Emory.
The administration, by far. The “perpetually aggrieved” student body is to be expected, given the “everyone gets a trophy” environment in which they were raised. It is the administration’s responsibility to start introducing these students to more and more of the real world. They failed miserably in that task.
Of course, who do you think TRAINED them to be perpetually aggrieved demanding participation trophies…. the same education establishment which has taken over most of the universities (thank god, my Purdue has not succumbed!)
That’s a good point.
The administration is afraid for their jobs. The slightest perceived lack of response will be amplified to the point where they will be accused of racism etc. and demands for their resignation. Also, remember that uni faculty (not sure about admin) tends to be overrun with leftists, I recall reading an 11-1 ratio (can’t recall source, but probably not that far off).
It would be great to see a plane with a TRUMP 2016 fly over the graduation.
More proof that Trump supporters are no better than the so-called “terrorists” in ISIS.
You want to equate a banner, with a candidates name that you don’t support, with beheading and blowing up innocent children and families?! Most of the things I would like to say to you would not be acceptable in public. However I would not hesitate to say them to you face to face in private. (I would not want to embarrass you in front of others.) However I will say that your sense of false equivalency is one of the major problems in society today. I hope the education you get as you enter adulthood is not as painful for others around you as it is going to be for you!
“So-called” terrorists?
Well well well… care to elaborate what you mean by that, and putting the word terrorists in quotes? Do you support ISIS Mel?
Democrats = ISIS
I saw a car with Bernie2016 stickers.. OMG WHAT SHOULD I DO…
Nothing. There isn’t anything offensive about Bernie2016. You clearly missed the point and fail to see why it’s so upsetting to see republican supporters on campus. You people do not belong here.
Yeah, because clearly the only acceptable speech is “progressive” speech. Inside every “progressive” there’s a totalitarian screaming to get out.
I call them “closet mass-murdering dictator wannabes”
…. to their face.
Totalitarians?
Like, say, a Presidential Candidate who insists he would authorize Torture, and wouldn’t rule out using Nuclear Weapons on civilians?
Oh, you mean the candidate who until recently was a Democrat? I’m no Trumpkin (he fits the “progressive” mold) but these whiny little crybullies prostrating themselves on their fainting couches over some words written in chalk need to be ridiculed mercilessly.
I’m very traumatized by Bernie stickers. I now have anxiety attacks every time I see some word starting with Bern***
Obviously “feel the burn” is an agressive threat. Substituting the letter “e” is not enough. I’m not coming out of my dorm room until the administration figures out a way to stop this vicious threat.
Wow, at first I thought that you where trying to be sarcastic and funny, but as a read a few more of your comments I realize that you’re an irrational liberal who I’m sure thinks everyone who doesn’t agree with yourself is a racist. Boo!!!!!. Just kidding, didn’t mean to scare you.
Well, I’ve been working on the assumption that Amnot Melanie is being satiric.
I sure hope so. But she has yet to clarify her position.
I’m afraid you may be right.
Aw Precious. Did a Trump supporter or republican upset you? You poor thing. Do you need a safe space where no one will talk about the things that upset you? “You people don’t belong here?” Have you heard of a little thing called the constitution? We are allowed to disagree in this country. We are allowed to discuss upsetting things. YOU are allowed to not listen or read them if they upset you. YOU are not allowed to censor others though. I love Bernie Sanders and for the first time I have registered with a party just so I can vote for him in a primary. Want to know something? Bernie and his ideas upset some people too. I daresay they are generally low info and angry voters…but they don’t cry or cringe when other support him. If they were to become violent in regards to that, then we’d have an issue. You really need to toughen up. The world can be a hard and unfair place. While this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t strive for justice..sometimes we need to put on our big boy/girl pants and suck it up a little. Write a satirical piece about the big bad chalkings. Stop empowering those who wrote them by being such weak, entitled, unrealistic babies without an iota of pragmatism.
it’s so good that you’re here to tell us what is and what isn’t offensive. i have an idea for you. get a copy of the constitution, and tape it to your face. see if something seeps in, and if not, at least we won’t be able to hear you. oh my, do you feel “unsafe” now? i’m so terribly sorry, snowflake.
Tax dollars from both Democrat and Republican supporters helps to fund your school and its programs. The Republican supporters have as much a right to attend your school and be on campus as the Democrats do.
Who dresses you in the morning?
Do think you should be immune from being upset? Do you think you should be able to go through life without being upset? Where in your life did you learn a lesson that you should never have to tolerate opinions that don’t agree with yours? Are you so sensitive and so fragile that if you become upset that you will not be able to recover from this? WHO told you that you shouldn’t have to tolerate ideas and opinions that don’t agree with your own? HELP ME understand and HELP ME see your point. I promise you, I can handle it. I will not be offended or put in PAIN over you disagreeing with my opinions.
Maybe we should make being Republican or Libertarian illegal? You f*cking piece of sh!t. You’re a parody of yourself.
Shoot the communist SOB behind the wheel. Bernie’s supporters are setting the precedent once again, just like Lenin’s supporters.
Awww, bless their hearts. Here’s your trophy, Snowflakes:

This is too embarrassing! This is what happens when a generation of dads sit their child in front of a television that’s playing Disney movies all day. If they would have stopped playing grab-ass with their buddies on the lake and taught their kid something, they wouldn’t be crying about how wimpy this generation is. I was going to apply to Emory for graduate school, but I’ve just changed my mind.
Good. We need less people like you here. You’re hatred wouldn’t be a good fit.
You sound like a Trump supporter, how ironic.
You mean “your honesty wouldn’t be a good fit”.
might want to work on that whole “your/you’re” thing. i’m sure prospective employers will understand; it’s because of all the hate and unsafe spaces you’ve endured. good luck in the real world….
*fewer people. Spend less time majoring in Maoism and grievance-fluffing and you might actually learn to spel and rite proper.
Feminazis = hatemongers.
I am so tired of seeing republicans on campus. Why are they allowed? Why don’t we have an admission process that filters these people out? We should have to put up people pushing republican/fascist candidates. If you’re not going to vote the correct way, then you really do not belong here. Why is that so hard for you people to understand? We need to take a hard line against anyone who supports Trump or Hillary. I would personally like to see an office set up in which we can report suspected right leaning students, and have them be investigated. If any evidence comes up that they support the wrong candidate, then they should be expelled from the school. This is supposed to be a space place for us to explore and learn about ourselves. Having these right-wingers make us feel unsafe and scared. Please get rid of them!
Ok, I get it now. Sorry, it’s really hard to tell what’s satire and what’s not these days 😉
Sometimes, it’s difficult to differentiate between satire and the hysteria with which these entitled leftists are responding to mindsets different than theirs.
“Amnot Melanie” is neither “angry,” nor “lesbian,” nor a “Melanie.”
Mx. Amnot, of La Grande, Or., works as a lizard alien and amuses itself by spoofing angry lesbians in comments sections.
See generally Facebook, s.v. “Amnot Melanie” (“Works a[s] Lizard alien”)….
I would bet money that the person that complained about it, and acted so afraid, is the one that did it.
I would put money on it, that’s how sure I am of this. It’s a set-up.
I thought at first you were joking. Then coupled with your other responses I see you are not. First of all college is NOT the haven of whatever you call yourself. There is no “correct” way of voting. There are no “safe” spaces. College is NOT supposed to be a safe (space? sic. wtf) place for you to explore and learn about yourselves. That is what you are supposed to do on spring break and summer recess. College is to LEARN. HISTORY should be a mandatory course along with whatever your major might be! If you had a grasp of history you would know that what you are asking for has been done in ever fascist and communist regime. Hitler, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, etc. Over 200 million people have died at the hands of people like these. I am going to make the assumption that you are fairly intelligent but misguided. I challenge you to QUESTION what you are being taught. Look up the term “brainwashed”. Examine the phenomenon of “group think”. Become a free thinker, not a person that wants to be different “like everybody else”.

Seriously, I hope this is satire. I’ve been assuming it is.
Please clarify… or if your’re for real, you won’t because you are afraid of your own shadow.
Fascist? Sounds like you Mel, to be honest. It’s your way or the highway huh. Report those who disagree with you? Investigate them? Shades of communist blocs and North Korea.
What will you do when you leave school and get a job, and possibly have to deal with right-wingers?
Oh and, how many have those right-wingers actually hurt or killed? If anyone should be scared, it’s those right leaning students on your campus who have to deal with the intolerant, authoritarian views held by yourself and those like you.
It’s satire.
Feminazi, you don’t get “safe spaces” in life. You’re not entitled to “trigger warnings.”
Obviously, Emory needs to up their admission standards. These oxygen-thieving so-called students are too stupid to be out of middleschool.
Very disturbing trend of brainwashing. These pathetic “children”, surely haven’t reached adulthood, are clueless… wait till they hit reality.
They can embrace the burning of American flags on campuses. Rallys for Sanders, a communist and Hillary, a corrupt, lawless elitist, but are simply horrified by the words trump 2016… hogwash.
Obama has done so much to set this country’s race relations back 100 years but they tolerate him.
What about black lies matter and the black panthers calling for the hunting and murder of white children… not appalled at all right?
Generations of wimps.
It should be investigated. It was probably done by a Sanders supporter.
Don’t blame liberals for this crap. Comedy Central’s Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore had a segment where they made fun of these idiot students. On liberal blogs like Daily Kos, there were comments all against the students behavior.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/03/25/1505977/-The-silly-Emory-University-Trump-2016-chalk-controversy
I would like to see right wing blogs attack students in christian univeristy whine about how their christian rights are being attacked when they whine about christmas vs winter holidays. Or hjow whites whine about Obama hurting their feelings by merely standing up for unarmed black people getting shot in multiple instances. (and not even black victim was accused of misheavior like Michael Brown was). So lwe can go both ways in blaming ideologies.
Stick to the topic and praise/criticize these students based on where you stand.
Funny thing is how come so few comments are coming from the students themselves? Is the concept of a student newspaper obsolete as most students are on twitter or other social media?
You get your news from comedy central, and your spelling is atrocious. ‘Nuff said.
Instead of being content that “the other side” actually agrees with you on this issue, find ways to continue to hate the other side. And nice try to equate typos with lack of command over spelling. And the only reason I was pointing out counterexamples was the vast majority of comments was using this incident to bash liberals instead of focusing on these 40 students.So I wanted to show you how stupid such tangential discussions looked like. I even took the trouble to give you two major examples where almost every liberal participant was against what these students did. Yet, you guys find ways to want to start fights. How are you any different from the snowflakes?
Your first sentence was “don’t blame liberals for this crap.” That, in and of itself, is enough reason to disagree with you. I DO blame liberals for this crap, as it is YOUR ideology that has lead to the collapse of American Society. Each time we compromise with liberals, we move a little further to the left. Conservatism is dying, and along with it goes morality and truth. “Moral Relativism” is nothing more than an excuse to do whatever you feel is right, and does not provide for true “right and wrong.” That, Mr. Crazy, is how I am different from YOUR snowflakes!
Great – we’re glad you agree with us that you coddled a whole generation of losers with your foolish politics.
You have to blame liberals for this. Only in a broad sense can you blame everyone because we didn’t do enough to stop it, because we trusted those in charge of the education of our children to do the right thing.
It all began with Outcome Based Education (OBE) back in the mid 80’s through the 90’s. Sameness. Giving trophies to those that hadn’t earned it. Sorry, trophies for showing up are wrong, showing up is a basic expectation, and is nothing special. Liberals are the ones that wanted OBE, and pushed it on us. Yes, I do blame liberals for this.
And guess which parents complain when their snowflakes are disciplined in schools? It’s parents on both the left and the right. Unlike you, I can bash people who are closer to my side than the other one. I can appreciate the best of all ideologies. . It’s too bad a lot of you are not taking this example to bash liberals in general. I just gave a couple of big examples where every liberal has been against what the students did. And I showed you that if you want to go there blaming an entire group, I can generalize too. Stick to bashing these students and take your frustrations elsewhere.
“unsubscribe
keep making stuff up. your screen name suits you….
Keep living in the bubble. You are worse than these whiny students.
Keep pushing that agenda at every chance you get. Whether these kids consider themselves liberals or not I’d be willing to bet almost all of their parents are conservatives who I blame for producing these kids These students are primarily composed of sheltered upper middle class and rich who’ve had everything handed to them their whole lives to the point that they now have an expectation that the entire world will give them whatever they want. Their parents treated them like the world revolved around them and now they actually believe it does.
It started well before the 80’s. It’s been going on for the last 60 years. The oldest example I can remember is the “Self Esteem” movement. We had to make every kid feel special. And what did that get us? A group of college kids that have a very high opinion of themselves but are not capable of critical thinking.
I remember that too.
You are SO correct.
you want to make the argument that there’s an equivalency of this crap among liberal and conservative students? propagandize much? provide some support for your nonsensical claim. this embarrassing behavior is almost exclusively in the domain of liberal academia.
I like to “whine” about “hjow” morons spell!
When you resort to pointing out typos to make a point , you have nothing to say.
True, but don’t pretend Feminist, welfare-subsidized single mother households, expectations of free health care, free education and other Liberal policies over many years haven’t enabled these students. These are the fruits of your labor. Nice f*cking job.
I am starting to see these kinds of fragile students show up in the workforce and it is frightening. I am a partner at a law firm. A new associate just out of law school gave me a brief. It was poorly done. I wrote the following on it and put it back on his chair (it was after 5:00 p.m. and, of course, no one works past 5:00 anymore):
“Needs to be redrafted. Your legal analysis needs work. Start by outlining issues and try again.”
The next morning he went to all the other associates and told them that I said he was a bad lawyer and that I was creating a hostile work environment. He literally cried because of my harsh feedback. The fact is that he thought he was perfect. He graduated law school and passed the bar, so he must know it all. Right?
If seeing campaign signs for the person you don’t plan to vote for upsets you, you have a very miserable future ahead of you.
Heh. The perfect response to that associate comes from you-know-who: “You’re fired.”
except that this poor little flower can hire a “workplace fairness” atty, and file a baseless lawsuit against you. will probably lose, but put your firm through a lot of hassle. slowly, there are real world equivalents to the coddling of academic administrators.
You were generous enough to give this person a chance to do the job correctly.
There is nothing wrong with having standards and expecting your employees to live up to those standards, especially if they are just basic standards that everyone in the profession has to live up to.
If you had a business in transportation, how many times would you allow that person to crash up a car before you fired them?
I would be curious as to what your associates said to this little man? Did any of them tell that person that he was wrong to go to them, to try to go over your head?
PS. If someone can take no criticism, that person can never grow as a human being, or ever live up to their full potential. You keep doing what you are doing.
Hahahaha. And as a lawyer myself, I know how little law school prepares you for legal practice. Sure you learn how to analyze things, but practicing is a whole different thing. I can’t believe a first year associate would leave at 5!!! Crazy.
The University president wrote, “immediate refinements to certain policy and procedural deficiencies, regular and structured opportunities for difficult dialogues, a formal process to institutionalize identification, review and [the] addressing of social justice opportunities and issues and a commitment to an annual retreat to renew our efforts.”
What a bunch of word vomit. The key to good writing is simplicity. Let me try to rewrite it for him.
“We are changing our policies for you cry babies. We promise to hold a yearly meeting to review our policies.”
Exactly.
Wagner is a master of obfuscation and doublespeak.
What do we have to do to get you to listen? Try coming up with a real problem.
The term liberal is so grossly misused these days
So, a bunch of butt-hurt students are scared… and offended… over the word “Trump”, written in chalk?! And??? Grow up. They need to grow a set.
It is embarrassing that these delicate snowflakes are provided a voice for their outrage. The university administration ought to be pointing out to them that the world is made up of people of all kinds of views and behaviors, some of which are excruciatingly harsh. Perhaps point out to them that their grandparents generation, at the same age, were storming the beaches at Normandy. Maybe a compulsory viewing of some ISIS atrocity videos would alert them to the reality that the fluffy cocoon they are living in is completely artificial. College should be a place to learn about the differences among people and learning how to peacefully tolerate and even accommodate those differences without crying about such a non event. That this has made the news is in and of itself utterly ridiculous.
“The truth is that American universities are among the safest and most coddled environments ever devised by man. The idea that one should attend college to be protected from ideas one might find controversial or offensive could only occur to someone who had jettisoned any hope of acquiring an education.”

I don’t like Trump, but I respect the opinions of those who do and those who disagree with me.
We should respectfully have discussions on our opposing viewpoints. That’s a great democracy. But when one side plays the victim and demands that the other voice be silenced without proof of threat to life and well-being, our democracy and free speech are truly in danger.
I’d like to add that if I were a student and truly afraid for my safety and security, I would ask the administration for increased police presence instead of protesting a presidential candidate’s name.
They are afraid the chalk is coming for them.
If I were a student and chalk scared me, I’d go back home and crawl back into a crib.
The most ridiculous aspect of this protest is the claim that colleges are meant to be a safe space where emotionally fragile millennials can hide away for 4 years without being exposed to any dissenting opinion or thought. I think to the contrary universities are meant to prepare and mold you as thoughtful, intellectual citizens who can face and address the challenges facing our world after graduation. This requires you to be able to listen, engage and debate people who may propose ideas that you strongly disagree with.
In real world you cannot run away from all the things that offend you nor can you control your environment to eliminate all things that you disagree with. So what are the protesters going to do this summer when they return home and see countless Trump signs and Trump supporters all over America? Are they going to demand that the city/state governments remove all signs and silence all trump supporters so these precious little snow flakes are not triggered?
Finally I find the conduct of the Emory President even more inexcusable. At least these protesters can hide behind their youth and immaturity but for the leader of a major university to coddle and support this misguided protest and threaten to punish somebody participating in our democratic election process is disheartening.
My thoughts exactly. One would hope college might be the first opportunity for these individuals, raised on coddling and “everyone gets a trophy” , to feel challenged that they might not be the center of the universe.
“I think to the contrary universities are meant to prepare and mold you as thoughtful, intellectual citizens who can face and address the challenges facing our world after graduation.”
Agree on the “meant to” portion but in actuality, colleges and universities long ago became indoctrination centers for multiculturalism, the evils of the USA, the sin of white privilege, and a place where anything “American” was demonized.
A parallel development in the academic world and beyond
where Jews have made alliances with non-Whites and with Whites who also
have complaints against the system (homosexuals, radical feminists). In
the wider world, the Jewish alliance with non-Whites has meant that
Jewish organizations were the predominant force in creating a White
minority America and their involvement in promoting Blacks and other minorities. In the academic world, the rise of the new Jewish elite was
quickly followed by the establishment of departments and scholarly
disciplines focused on minority and sexual grievance (e.g.., Black
Studies; queer studies). Collectively, these departments now wield a
great deal of power within universities; they are reliable proponents of
the leftist, multicultural world view.
Huh? Remind me not to smoke whatever it is that you are on!
ummm… fella, you do know that Emory University is a traditional METHODIST-operated university, right?
The Methodists (and most of the Christian denominations) have been infiltrated and hijacked by Jews and other undesirables. I bet if you looked at the staff of Emory you’d find a majority of Jews. Academia media government and finance (anywhere they can obtain power/money) is where they’ll be.
(my comma key is broken..apologies)
infiltrated? hijacked? oohhh i see how it is.
must be some mighty sheeny/nigre/wetback/chinkoid conspiracy going on. better watch out! they gon cause you to loose everthing…
gimme a frickin break. what a moron you must be.
better yet, why don’t you go get your heavy duty aluminum foil hats and put them on for good. they’re all scanning your thoughts – was gonna say brains,but its quite clear you have none.
for such a minority in the world, you certainly ascribe an awful lot of power to the Jews.
I can tell you with no hesitation that its way, WAY overstated. And seriously over-inflated.
Why don’t you take Hollywood for example. Jews are around 60% of Hollywood. How does such a small minority have essentially complete control of the media industry? Communist Russia? White privilege grievance industry? Feminism? South Africa ending apartheid?
But honestly the best place to learn more about how Jews truly DO control things is:

i’m thinking once again, you ascribe way too much power to such a small minority.
i’m also thinking you must have been bitten by the hate bug if you are so freaking stupid as to actually believe the drivel/absurd crap you spit out above.
i’m thinking bugs bunny has more brains than you… #whatamaroon…
I give you facts and you still spew pointless insults. If you don’t want to believe it….oh well. Not my problem. It’s a shame that you are so adamantly opposed to doing your own investigation into this issue but I can understand it. It IS scary to awaken to reality and many people simply don’t have the mental fortitude for it.
The truth isn’t “hate”. It’s just the truth. But again…believe what you’d like. “There are none so blind as those who refuse to see”. Disprove what I’ve posted. You can’t. The facts are right there in front of you. But only YOU can open your eyes. It’s a real shame that you won’t. Bless your heart.
(I am assuming you didn’t even go to the site at all Right? ZERO further investigation on your part….right?)
ok. so at your suggestion I visited the website you mentioned above and found it to be among the most hate-filled, cleverly disguised as catholic but truly worthy of Julius Streicher and Joseph Goebbels screeds I’ve ever witnessed before in my days on this planet.
this website isn’t truth. this is hate filled lies, hate filled propaganda and hate filled distortion. period.
Lol OK. You either have eyes to see and ears to hear….or you don’t. You’re the latter. Sorry to hear that but it’s not surprising. Good luck with that.
a laughing stock, out here in the real world. instead of studying something, in an effort to be competitive in a competitive world, these poor clueless kids engage in a mindless protest; aping legitimate protests of 50 years ago, exposed as folly for their coddled, clueless, unconstitutional “demands.” as many have pointed out, the kids will (hopefully) grow out of this. complicit adults in academia? they are the cause and the genesis of this nonsense.
This can’t be true, can it? Nobody could be this immature and stupid! Welcome to the real world and deal with it.
They need to assimilate and embrace change . They also need to respect the will of the people . GO Trump !!!!!2016
When one seeks to remove one groups rights they also remove their rights. Or so it would seem we as American people are to negated {to deny the existence, evidence, or truth of:
an investigation tending to negate any supernatural influences.} every a few decide they don’t like.
With that being said, “I if it is God’s way and will that Donald Trump will be elected as President of the USA.”
They need to grow up and understand that different people support different candidates than they do. Freedom of speech means Trump supporters get to express their support.

Is Emory raising a bunch of weak crybabies? Is that what they teach, how to be a butthurt weenie with no respect or tolerance for views that differ from their own? Apparently it is, and goes all the way back to the founding of the school. They don’t even have a football team! NERDS!!!
Emory students are so sociologically ignorant and intellectually stunted that a “safe space” is the best place for them, somewhere safely away from real Americans; Sweden maybe.
What makes you think Sweden wants them? Heck, I don’t want these delicate snowflakes here in Canada! Oh well, if they went to Sweden or came up to Canada, they would return home as soon as they experienced the cold, only to find out they couldn’t whine and have the government change the weather.
What with the attacks abroad and the tension right here in the US, the world needed some comic relief. Thank you for providing it, Emory U. Unfortunately, the world laughs at you, not with you.
I hope the villains behind these unspeakable crimes are soon rounded up so these delicate flowers can continue their programs in Applied Histrionics.
Any college that lets in kids with grossly inflated high school grades and obviously lower talent than their campus peers can’t expect them to remain calm as they realize they’re the dummies on campus. One example is most of these affirmative action kids read at 1/2 the speed of the kids who earned their way in. Professor assigns more pages in a day than they can handle in a week—let alone being able to discuss the work. By week 3 they’re in way over their head. Further, these overly-groomed aggressive kids at these fancy colleges come in and hit the ground running; so, there really isn’t any time for below par kids to catch up (even if they have the ambition to do so).
Believe me, most of the AA students are used to struggling and being trampled on, having their feelings hurt by someone else’s political party is the least of their concerns. The few who actually manage to make it to college are well aware that the only way to escape their situations is through their own effort and other people couldn’t give a damn about how hard things might be for them.
The ones spouting this “safe zone” garbage are the coddled upper middle class and rich who are used to having everything handed to them and have an unrealistic expectation that the world revolves around them and the general public should care about their feelings. They have so little experience with not getting their way that they’ve begun to believe the world will bend to give them whatever they want no matter how ridiculous.
I can’t say in regards to liberal arts degrees, since most people who want an actual career instead of just an easy degree don’t bother with them, but when it comes to STEM majors which are very much based on effort and return, the poor students are often the ones at the top of the class. Ironically its the rich who often end up getting free tutoring from the poor students.
Well said, Brother. Well said.
When is the last time you visited GA State? This university is majority AA students. My daughter was there for 3 years before transferring out due to the focus on most everything BUT academics. They were required to participate in a class teaching “Ebonics”. If you don’t know what that is then look it up. I dispute the claim that MOST AA students are used to struggling and being trampled on. I can’t speak to how many have had their feelings hurt, but then who hasn’t. AA’s overcame the college barrier over 2 decades ago. We stopped many years ago trying to equalize the playing field for all people and started focusing on reparations by tilting the playing field in the other direction.
Totally agree about this whole thing being garbage, including the part about BLM as well. BLM only when it is a white cop doing the shooting. Thousands die every year at the hand of other AA’s but you don’t hear any of the Black Leaders screaming about that now do you?
While I couldn’t find a report specifically on AA distribution only 20% are low income and even less receive aid, so I don’t buy that the majority are AA.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/aed51c024b867bcf41799b1660277725b3097c17c97056f2c436d674f7e7d273.png
From the Emory University 2014 STARS report (look it up for confirmation)
In addition, I’m willing to bet if your daughter took a class on Ebonics they were majoring in a branch of communications or social sciences, In which case case culture and dialects are kind of a thing. Maybe try a different major that involves more math or hard science?
Also AA isn’t just limited to black people and not all black people support or are a part of BLM. I’m sure even within BLM there are varying levels of extremism.
It would also help if you include a citation for the thousands of murders yearly by AA students.
Here’s the ethnic diversity for reference, for all the trouble you claim they cause, there are more asians than blacks.
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/96e23c2f8793332a5e09230961e3533509778e286e2579932fb8ad340ef58ea2.png
GA State, not Emory! GA State is a Public University while Emory is private. You are less likely to see a high distribution of low income students in a private university.
I agree that public universities will have more low income students. I don’t know if GA state has the same kind of issue with these “safe spaces” . The original point I was making in this thread is the “Safe Space” philosophy more often comes from sheltered upper class students and rich internationals. International students almost have to be rich when they’re coming to an american private school and they are probably the ones in many of these pictures that people are confusing with AA students and american minorities. The university I go to has nearly as many Internationals from Africa as black american students, but If they decided to protest everyone would think they were black americans.
Well this was 5 years ago for my daughter so I don’t think the safe spaces had landed at the Universities at this point. I still disagree that this comes exclusively from the sheltered upper class. Once in school this crap filters through to many students who actually believe they are entitled to these safe spaces. I’ll agree it probably gets started with more affluent students. Daddy has plenty of money to keep them in school as long as it takes. Truth be known, they had probably rather have them away at school instead of laying on their living room couch spouting this nonsense.
HA! Yeah, they probably WOULD rather have them at school than on the couch.
But many of those snowflakes will end up there – especially the ones who majored in those hopelessly self-indulgent liberal fantasy “unemployment studies” degree programs.
Well what do you know, a racist. Speak the word “Minority” and they will hear African American. Minority = anyone that’s not related to immigrants from European nations into this top half of the American continent that killed and massacred the original inhabitants to steal and occupy their land. Since many of them came along the years and they bred and multiplied, they became the majority much faster than other races or ethnicities for multiple reasons.
Now back to your adamant blind focus on African Americans, news flash, there isn’t even one student in the pictures that is one. I know almost all of them, some are other ethinicities, some international students or first generations from multiple parts of the world (South America, Middle East, Asia and more). Your blind obstinacy that somehow somewhere this mess, AA students are the ones to blame, make people like you into an issue,why does it always come back to being their fault.
Ki,
Regardless of color, these protesters were just plain petulant and pedantic in this instance.
They deserve to be treated as babies. Because they are. Worse yet, they were trying to suppress.
Oh, what do you know, its a cry baby cuck. Watch out son, I have chalk, lots of chalk.
Where is the Board of Trustees in all this? President Wagner’s craven indulgence of these nitwits is quickly degrading the reputation of the university and the value of an Emory diploma. Doesn’t he have a fiduciary duty to prevent Emory from becoming the laughingstock of the Western world?
I employ people. If I see an Emory grad’s resume, in the shredder it goes.
Which sucks for those Emory grads that aren’t like this but I can’t blame you
That’s a great point and one not normally brought up in these events. By catering to these loons, the President is effectively lowering the value of an Emory Diploma for ALL students. I gotta believe that the majority of Emory grads are bright, thoughtful and grounded young men and women but when the Social Justice Warriors and blue haired 3rd Wave Feminists are allowed to dominate a campus it hurts all the students.
Most American colleges are like this these days.
The professors, overwhelmingly, are on board with the Lefty student temper tantrums; they view it as a positive continuation of the Marxist ball they got rolling in the sixties, seventies and eighties.
as a graduate of this fine (?) institution, I can honestly say I’m particularly embarrassed for its graduates, for the university and find that if this collectiion of namby-pamby pansies and tinkerbells are offended or scared or hurt or intimidated, they need to recognize that the REAL WORLD isn’t a safe place nor does it have SAFE SPACES. You pansies and tinkerbells, you’re in for a real rude awakening. get out of your so-called protective vaginas and understand that COLLEGE is where you learn and GROW into the REAL WORLD.
Send these babies back home. Their diapers definitely need changing.
The best response to a temper tantrum is silence.
unsubscribe
Our silence only seems to have encouraged them at this point. And what they are doing is much worse than a temper tantrum. They are adults, after all, and they are quickly ruining the reputation of what was becoming a world-class university. Look at what’s happening at the University of Missouri to see what awaits Emory if this foolishness is allowed to continue.
A time out for a semester might help. Course then there’s that pool of safety thing. Can’t stand up for anything by themselves.
The problem is that these “kids” don’t have anything better to worry about. They should spend a year in one of the third world countries like rural India, or Africa and get a feel for what IS worth worrying about. Life has become so easy for everybody these days that we have to INVENT things to get pi$$ed off about. These “KIDS” are in for a very rude awakening once they hit the pavement competing for jobs with people who were actually in college to get and education.
It’s tempting to entertain the idea of sending them someplace where there is actual pain and suffering. That would be a valuable education.
After spending some time in India it quickly became apparent that the US has no clue what poverty is. Many of those living in rural India would be thrilled at a chance to live in the worst slums in this country. Since then I have always thought it would be good to to make one of the admission requirements of Colleges and Universities to be a 1 year stint helping others in third world countries. At least then they would have a feel for what is truly worth worrying about.
I’m fortunate enough to have never experienced true financial or existential hardship. So, I speak from a place of limited life experience. I’m sorry, but sidewalk chalking ‘Trump 2016″ is not a legitimate reason to throw a temper tantrum disguised as “emotional distress”…
Yes, though it may well be their thick-headedness is incurable.
And that’s not just an easy cheap shot on my part.
I’m in my forties and continue to have frequent discussions with college kids.
TV, Music and Movie culture gives the current crop of kids the impression that we’re still fighting the battles of the sixties… thus we see 18 year olds today yammering on about “racism, sexism, homophobia!” as if it were 1968.
(though, I have an equally negative view of those that chanted essentially the same words back then)
———————-
My hunch is that even if these kids were placed in lands of real poverty and suffering, as you suggest, the lesson would not be learned. They’d simply frame what they observed in India, Africa, etc. in the same hackneyed Lefty worldview they started out with.
The parents of these “triggered” students should be ashamed. I used to believe that youthful idealism, now almost synonymous with liberal sanctimony, never survived contact with reality. Now, I’m not so sure. More and more the enablers of this kind of nonsense are the ones who are supposed to be the grown ups…..
Precisely — many of their parents are of the very same “easily triggered” Lefty ilk.
What a hoot. I do like well done satire.
I particularly like the meme that Americans are now so shiftless that the have to import their hate-crime hoaxers.
Yes folks – not a poorly written satire. Sadly, this is not The Onion.
Don’t like Trump at all, but I will borrow a phrase that is completely appropriate – these people are looooooooosers,
Wow – I don’t like DT at all, but I know for a fact that things like this only help him. If BLM protests you, these idiots protest you, or Melissa Click protests you, it’s essentially an endorsement from an invisible celebrity called “Sanity”. Nothing is going to his embolden his supporters (many of whom are morons) more than these morons (who are even bigger morons).
Emery students – Grow up! What a bunch of whiners and babies. If these folks are representative of the future American leaders and workforce we are headed for trouble.
I am so happy they have pools of safety. NOW GO SOAK YOUR HEAD AND GET BACK TO REALITY. I wouldn’t say pools too loud. You know Trump is for water boarding. BRAhahaha !
What is worse than the behavior of these students is the response of the President! He should be telling these students to grow up instead of bending over and legitimizing this crap.
Most definately! They are children not college material. They best go back home and continue sucking their pacifiers till they reach a certain age old enough to potty w/o supervision.
Of course if the president tried such a thing, a board would be convened to suggest his ouster for not being on board with supporting a “diverse, inclusive environment”.
Good God. The lunatics are running the asylum.
The lunatics are running the asylum.
The truth is these students aren’t “traumatized” by the slogans. They
understand that by playing the part they can get the university to
censor opposition speech. That’s all this is about. And the liberal
administrators feed right into it because they WANT to censor opposition
speech. It’s 2 groups playing a little game and winking at each other
to censor a 3rd group that they don’t want to be heard.
The person who did the chalkings is probably a liberal Democrat – that is typical in instances of this type –
Lost in all the comments is the anti semitism and false equivalency of these students claiming that Emory and FBi response to outsiders painting swastikas on a Jewish fraternity is equal to Trump’s name in chalk on a campus sidewalk. Apparently they are trying to equate a hate crime to Hispanic fears of Donald Trump coming to get them. If that is the case, they need to get with INS to find out how to become legal aliens or self-deport.
What a bunch of sissies. Next time I pass through Atlanta, it would be worth it just to buy some children’s chalk, stop at Emory and write something like, “Grow the eff upp you snowflakes!” (and also write ‘Trump 2016’..hee hee!)
One article I read described them as “ambulatory fetuses”. I’m still cleaning the coffee off of my screen.
LMAO! Truth!
If white supremacy and patriarchy were still cultural mainstays, these idiots would’t be permitted to run their mouths like this. #Progress #Sarcasm
In saner times, they be locked up in the rubber room!
Yes, I’m pretty sure WW2 vets didn’t break down and cry when they saw signs that said Hitler.
Open Questions to these “40” Students.
In an effort to communicate and understand your point of view, I would like to ask a few questions that may provide insight into your ideas on this matter. The questions are:
1. Do think you should be immune from being upset?
2. Where in your life did you learn a lesson that you should never have to tolerate opinions that don’t agree with yours?
3. Are you so sensitive and so fragile that if you become upset that you will not be able to recover from this?
4. WHO told you that you shouldn’t have to tolerate ideas and opinions that don’t agree with your own?
So in essence, HELP ME understand and HELP ME see your point. I promise you, I can handle it. I will not be offended or put in PAIN over you disagreeing with my opinions.
But the main response you’re likely to get is “institutional racism” and “We’re scared”.
Liberals are emotionally unstable
Wow this country is in some serious trouble. I think these fascist professors need to be investigated.
Even the investigators are on the Muzzie/ Marxist side.
the fix is in… the whole town has gone zombie.
LOL. These students need a reality check. In the real world, you will be criticized. You will have to face opinions that are contrary to your own. Screaming, and crying about anything you don’t agree with will be met with ridicule. People don’t like whiny, special, soft little snowflakes. It’s difficult to get a job when you behave in this fashion. Grow the F up people. Liberalism is a cancer on the face of civilization.
Given the degrees of the protesters (sociology, English, race studies), I’m guessing they’ll either be employed by the cocoon of academia or serving coffee.
Social Justice Baristas?
Ha, ha!
Well done.
(“Good morning, Social Justice Barista… am I allowed to espresso a contrary opinion here at Star-yucks?”)
Same. I can’t tolerate the guy, but if it sticks a thumb in the eye of these toddlers I’m very tempted.
Time to love President James Wagner eating endless plates of student turds served up to him.
The correct response from the administration would have been to simply laugh in their faces and tell them to either get back to class or drop out.
Precisely.
They feel unsafe? By chalkEd political support? C’mon. I wonder how these coddled little dim witts are going to survive in the world. I’m embarrassed foe their future selves. Lol
If these student had to fight WWII, they nation would have lost.
If you want quite an amusing mental image, imagine this platoon of snowflakes trying to storm the beaches of Normandy.
A nation of whining Leftist turds. That’s the future…
True. That’s why the white race sucks
Most blacks are not only are mentally retarded, but seem to be mostly mentally ill if that chalk Trump 2016 made their tiny aboriginal brains go into chimpout mode.
Then they should not walk the streets or they would chimpout everytime they see Trump bumper sticker
These kids are in for a brutal awakening when they get to the real world.
i hate when people say that. what you dont realize is that THIS IS THE REAL WORLD! SJWs have shaped the world so that when they graduate from college, everyone else still shares their same views. i graduated uni 5 years ago – i still cant actively voice my support for Trump for proper anticipation of a proverbial lynch mob coming after me.
its sad but true – this is the real world. what we’re seeing in college is just a more exaggerated version of it.
Then you need to move to another town or state. I say what I want when I want where I live and I am on Facebook every day posting that I am in support of Trump. No one tells me who to vote for to my face that is. I have paid my dues.
I mentioned something like this in an earlier response. I believe you are correct in regards to liberals, on a much larger scale, attempting to shame/threaten all dissenting voices into silence. It is most certainly not confined to the college campus.
However, I think the “real world” others are mentioning here is not necessarily that of the political stage. It is not their political mindsets that will be challenged – it will be their mindsets regarding their skills and abilities.
In other words, when Mr. Peraza and others in this PC Thug Posse attempt to secure and maintain real jobs, they will, in most cases, have to perform. If they perform poorly, they will be critiqued. It is * that * part of the real world most of these gentle snowflakes have not experienced.
Some, however, might find work in academia and, therefore, continue to be cocooned.
great insightful comment. didnt think about it in that way. but i cant help but wonder if even performance is being SJW-ed – things like affirmative action are a great indicator that performance isnt always the basis of evaluation anymore
If only that were true… The real truth is that when these special snowflakes get into the real world, they wont survive and will be a generational drain on tax payers. Not to mention, they will be the largest voting group, after the baby-boomers are gone, and will be deciding the course we all get taken on…
I believe it is time for these frightened little china dolls to crawl back into mama’s womb. They aren’t ready yet.
Last week, students at Emory University in Georgia were brutally assaulted (metaphorically, but that’s basically irrelevant at this point) by the words “Trump 2016” being displayed in sidewalk chalk on their campus. Now, it seems, sidewalk chalk has unleashed its campaign of terror on the University of Kansas. The Chalkacaust (trademark pending) has descended upon our amber waves of grain.
Many Kansas students were stabbed in the face, burned, and buried in unmarked graves (again, metaphorically, but barely) by the Trump supporters who had the nerve to voice their opinions on the campus. Suffice it to say, this “Trump 2016” sidewalk chalking was the Rape of Nanking of Lawrence. (I mean, it wasn’t at all, but you should still just suffice it to say that it was, because oppression is oppression is oppression, no questions asked, because whoever asks them is a bigot.)
The ringleader of this particular whine-fest, Johnathan Peraza, got there because of a scholarship he won via Bill and Melinda Gates. What’s the first qualification for being considered? “Be African American, American Indian/Alaska Native, Asian American/Pacific Islander or Hispanic American” There’s a shocker.
You know what strikes me as funny…these are probably the same Marxist feminists and beta males who disrupt Trump rallies by blocking roads…p|_|ssies.
Poor poor babies! Imagine! Coming to college and being confronted with OPPOSING OPINIONS! How are they supposed to deal with this cruelty? It’s mental torture!
LMFAO! Listen to the Europhobics attempting to silence the voices of white people by eliminating their free speech on campus. Where is there tolerance? Imagine a white group on a campus in China, demanding the Chinese students be silenced out of fear that they will enforce the law and protect themselves from terror? Do they really have a problem with keeping potential terrorists out of the country and removing those who have come here illegally? It is white Americans who SHOULD be hating this defense of terror and criminality and treat those that support it with contempt.
It would seem Singh is living in an ideological fantasy land that is divorced from reality by thinking that he would be “safer” with latino, black or Muslim community, when crime stats prove that he would be far safer in a white community, unless of course he is supporting terror and criminality against them.
Just a good reminder that ‘diversity’ is just to drive a million brown wedges into society. They don’t care about these people either, they are just useful pawns.
University President James W. Wagner makes more than $1,148,800 in total compensation a year just to listen to these idiots not make America great again.
http://president.emory.edu/meet_president_wagner/biography.html
Well heck, I’ll totally ignore them for a mere $100,000 and everyone else will be happier!
I think that is fair compensation for the ‘pain’ and ‘lack of safety’ he has to suffer being around these monkeys
In order to soothe your hurt feelings, we’ll draw some Black Lives Matter & Feel The Bern slogans tomorrow.
Enjoy life in your parents basement.
Because the chalk was white, is that the main problem here???
So what are all you special snowflakes going to do when you “graduate” from your adult day care/Marxist indoctrination center and have to actually get a job where people may disagree with you or not value your precious feelings to the extent you believe you are entitled? You may as well self-deliver now and save yourselves the life of ostracism, ridicule, and mockery you are undoubtedly destined for.
They do the exact same things they are doing now: complain to the boss about ‘hurt feelings and disrespect’ and demand that EVERYONE ELSE change their attitudes and mindset to protect their ‘special little feelings’; and if that doesn’t happen IMMEDIATELY then they quit, post-haste, regardless of the situation it leaves their employer/co-workers in. Trust me, I’ve worked with several of these ‘educated’ individuals.
‘One student asked if Emory would send out a University-wide email to “decry the support for this fascist, racist candidate.”’ Literally another Hitler. It’s anudda Shoah! Shut it down!
I think the protesting students should be given the opportunity to relieve their stress playing in water from…ah…big hoses…like fire hoses, maybe… and to interact with some…ah…”therapy” dogs. I would recommend military-trained German Shepherds.
A little CS aromatherapy might also be beneficial….
Baby Boomers, Generation X, Millinials, Generation Snowflakes
If what I said is racist then I am racist. I am also correct.
There are blacks, Orientals, and Indonesian Indians who are more successful than a white man? No! I guess I better go and rethink my worldview.
CLASSICAL LIBERALISM:
“I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
PROGRESIVISM (Political Correctness):
“I disapprove of what you say, and I will publicly shame you, lobby to have you censored and demand you be fired from your job!”
The SJW Progressive/Left label people instead of having discussions on policy.
IDEA: Take away the words racist, sexist, homophobe, Islamaphobe, xenophobe, bigot, and fascist, out of any discussion of policy issues facing this country today.
The Progressive/Left cannot do it. They do not know how to win the argument, therefore, they label people with horrendous name-calling to mask their ignorance and vacant ideology.
Political Correctness is censorship on a monumental scale.
Bill Mahar gives his opinion. Funny! Watch the video clip for a little humor.
Bill Maher Blasts Emory Anti-Trump Students: I WANT TO DROPKICK THESE KIDS (VIDEO)
Bill Maher tonight went off on the Emory University students who whined about feeling “triggered” by the mere appearance of Donald Trump‘s name in chalk on campus.
Maher rolled his eyes about how students went “apes**t,” read off their actual quotes, and said, “I so badly want to dropkick these kids into a place where there is actual pain and suffering. What happened in this country?!”
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/03/bill-maher-blasts-emory-anti-trump-students-want-drop-kick-kids-video/
Sorry losers, but the coward generation is over. President Trump (2016-2024) and his son, President Eric Trump (2024-2032) aren’t only changing Americans, they’re going to forever change human culture, for the better.
TRUMP 2016 – 2024. PRESIDENT ERIC TRUMP 2024- 2032
Sorry losers, but the coward generation is over. President Trump (2016-2024) and his son, President Eric Trump (2024-2032) aren’t only changing Americans, they’re going to forever change human culture, for the better.
These poor little crybullies haven’t learned a damn thing. Or maybe this is all they’ve learned! Chickens coming home to roost?
sad face…hahaha
why don’t they just go to their safe space… and fuggedabowtit?!
Satire is dead. The Onion could not write an article satirizing this incident because this normal article is so ridiculous as to be almost unbelievable. These kids need to grow up and learn to deal with people with different opinions.
Being filled with “fear” is the biggest weapon of the emasculated leftist, and being a victim is its greatest virtue.
(Didn’t Darwin have a warning for these worms when he wrote about natural selection?)
how are YOU “harmed” ? how are THEY “harmed”?
How is being raised to be a useless, helpless idiot being harmed? You have to ask?
thats called an “assumption”. stick to facts please
So you have no answer?
Is this the face of our future? God help us if we ever face a national crisis like WW2.
of course thats why they so desperately want daddy sanders to force you to pay for it – and for everyone else too.
whats “clear” is you have no specifics.
Sigh…
Still I ask: where is the “harm” exactly? Your opinions are irrlevant
