About 150 Ohio State students, teachers and community members gathered outside of Thompson Library on Friday evening before marching through the Oval and ultimately ending at the Ohio Union, voicing their displeasure with President Donald Trump and his recently signed executive orders along the way.
“The attacks on the Affordable Care Act, Planned Parenthood, the proposed Muslim ban and the wall — there are many things, in my opinion, that are blatantly racist, and sexist,” said Stavroula Pabst, a fourth-year in history. “I’m really afraid for the future of this country, myself and a lot of my friends.”
The event was organized by the International Socialist Organization, and over a dozen different university sanctioned student groups were on hand to participate in a protest that covered a litany of topics. Student groups from a variety of interests were present, from the Muslim Student Association to Real Food OSU.
The overall purpose of the event was singular-staunch opposition against Trump and his new executive orders. However, the main messages revolved around the opposition of Trump’s executive orders on building a wall to separate Mexico and the U.S., as well as his temporary immigration ban affecting several Muslim-majority countries.
“(The immigration ban) stands against everything America is for, it’s supposed to be the land of the free,” said Morgan Worthington, a fourth year in engineering physics. “Everyone who is willing to work hard should have a chance and if that’s not there, then our very character is lost.”
Pro-Trump students donned in “Make America Great Again” hats followed the protesters on their march while calling back at the anti-Trump chants....

I thought there were LOTS of safe spaces at OSU? Did they run out of crayons and legos for these libtard pukes?
Sucks it up loser snowflakes.
Who cares what the snowflakes think? They don’t pay taxes. Until then, they need to just shut up and grow up.
These kids including some in my family are so brainwashed to love socialism and hate capitalism that they are just manipulated pawns.
They can move to China or Cuba.
Land of the free? Yes, without fegov largess while protecting our sovereignty.
Everyone who is willing to work should have unlimited access to our country in your mind? Our national character was built on opportunity and not outcome that is prevalent with your ideology. You liberals/socialists will never understand because you believe the General Welfare clause means all get the same. Stick to physics, dumbass.
Wow - all of 150 “students” etc. out of a campus of population of 80,000. Good to see they are getting underwhelming support.
Hey there Snowflakes!
Nobody down here in Realville cares who you are or what you think. You can drop dead for all we care.
These Marxists are creating a generation of Ebenezer Scrooges who Dickens described as follows:
“The cold within him froze his old features, nipped his pointed nose, made his eyes red, his thin lips blue, and spoke out shrewdly in his grating voice, “bah humbug.”
what is not being reported is that the meeting to discuss how terrible Trump was in his first week was planned one month in advance.
You all lost! Too bad! Try again in 4 years.
This is “no news”. There are over 60,000 students at OSU, so a turnout of 150 is meaningless. The other 60,000 were busy getting an education.
“””I’m really afraid for the future of this country, myself and a lot of my friends.””””
What he’s really afraid of is losing any government freebies he’s been promised.
Woody would clothesline them.
Newark NJ had a rally against reversing ObamaCare a few weeks back (with our NJ senators); 150 people showed up (in a city of over 250K), and many of the were NOT Newark residents (probably staffers of the senators).
I don’t think they could convince many blacks and Hispanics that ObamaCare did anything for them; their voting showed no real desperation on the issue.
