Skidmore College’s bias-response group deems Trump slogan a ‘racialized attack’
The Washington Times ^ | July 1, 2016 | Jessica Chasmar

The Bias Response Group at Skidmore College in New York says Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, which made its way onto several whiteboards on campus, was a “racialized, targeted attack” against female faculty of color.

Three whiteboard messages with the phrase “Make America Great Again” were included in the BRG’s annual report and classified as “written slur[s] or graffiti,” Campus Reform reported.

“Multiple faculty door whiteboards have been the target of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s recent social media campaign, now dubbed ‘the Chalkening.’ This campaign encourages supporters to chalk/write the slogan: “Make America Great Again” in visible places on college campuses,” the report said. “Three faculty door whiteboards have been targeted (that we know of) and this is the third instance in which the words ‘Make America Great Again’ were written on the office whiteboards of female faculty of color; two of these were left on the same person’s door.”

“The BRG acknowledges that political speech is free and protected,” the report said. “As a group, though, we are committed to the idea that political speech is open, engaged, and part of a public debate. These seemingly connected reports suggest a pattern of using the idea of political speech to target specific members of the Skidmore community. As such, the majority of BRG members do not interpret these messages as political speech but as politicized, racialized, targeted attacks intended to intimidate.”(continued)

The Diversity police are going to be so mad when Trump is elected and America breaks out of its politically correct shackles.

Seriously, these people are in school. Can their teachers not tell them how misguided they are, or is there so much momentum the monster is now attacking it’s creator? (Frankenstein analogy)

Actually, as a political slogan it is the poster child of protected free speech. Go ahead school that takes government money..... go after someone who posts it. I dare you.

Parents need to identify their children that are snowflakes and cut them off entirely. It’s the only recourse to help them, never mind prevent their multiplication.

They dont think its great now. They think it was worse prior to their wonderful social engineering disasters.

Thry can find a problem with anything, if that is their intent. And it is to anyone they deem an adversary.

And really America has slipped versus other countries and shouldn’t have. If America becomes great again no one will want to be a citizen of the world. They will want to be American because American ideals work. Every American should take responsibility for themselves if possible and when the happens the sky is the limit because they will have a vested interest in the country running well with liberty and individual rights as the highest priority. We should be tired of being held back by the elite globalists.

I tend to think it’s the parents who created the snowflakes, protecting them from every big, bad thing that could possibly ever happen. Helicopter parents.

Can their teachers not tell them how misguided they are . . .

On the contrary, their teachers are the ones *promoting* this nonsense.

Well, we’re keeping the house. They’ll just have to leave.
