A flurry of chalk scrawls supporting Donald Trump on the Emory University campus sparked a demonstration by students who demanded and were granted a meeting with the president, saying the messages made them feel concerned and frightened. At least one of them said he got death threats after the protest.

The students viewed the messages as intimidation, and they voiced "genuine concern and pain" as a result, Emory President Jim Wagner wrote Tuesday, one day after meeting with 40 to 50 student demonstrators.

They need to be sent to mandatory sensitivity training to learn tolerance and how to celebrate diverse viewpoints.
 
This is part of the whole internet thing I dislike. Stories so silly they wouldn't have made the campus newspaper are now splashed across the blabosphere. Not every story deserves an audience.

If you read the effing article you'll see that some of those concerned students are Latinos.

Reading "Trump 2016" and "Build a Wall", I'd also be "concerned", yes actually angered if I were a Latino in their shoes.

They have ANY RIGHT to protest here and be concerned.

You're talking about tolerance and diverse viewpoints, but WHAT IRONY! are supporting racist/fascist paroles on a school wall.

I am very aware you will NEVER understand that the comparison with Swastika graffiti would be justified because you're too busy to deny and sweep under the rug that Trump and most of his trailer trash follower brood are racist.

If they're not an illegal immigrant, they have nothing to be worried about.

Exterminating 20 million people is equivalent to immigration enforcement?

If they are here legally why would they care?
 
Because they think they're smart and important when in reality they're little more than malleable grey matter and ticking timebombs of debt. They're also generally more leftist and dangerous to American values than their parents and grandparents.

It doesn't take that many. It was only a couple hundred that protested at Mizzou.

Yeah, and? It affected the world at large how? Ya don't think that there might be some, you know, real, actual *important issues* to be concerned about? Seems like a lot of kerfuffle going on in the Middle East, for example.

But, hey, who am I to get in the way of some good old fashioned pearl clutching.

Seems like more than just a few college kids need a 'safe space' these days.

Growing sentiment among younger people that suppressing certain political speech isn't something of concern?
