[110 College] Presidents' Message to President-Elect [Trump]
Inside Higher Ed ^ | November 18, 2016 | Scott Jaschik

Posted on 11/18/2016 4:33:31 PM PST by Dr. Scarpetta

One hundred and ten college and university presidents have issued a joint letter to President-elect Donald Trump urging him to forcefully “condemn and work to prevent the harassment, hate and acts of violence that are being perpetrated across our nation, sometimes in your name, which is now synonymous with our nation’s highest office.”

This action is needed, the presidents write, because of the incidents taking place nationwide, including many on college campuses.

“In our schools, on job sites and college campuses, on public streets and in coffee shops, members of our communities, our children, our families, our neighbors, our students and our employees are facing very real threats, and are frightened.”

The full text of the letter and the signatories may be found at the end of this article.

Are they asking Trump to issue a religious message?

Exactly. Persecution of Christians. Firing of professors and researchers who question man-made climate change and evolution.

For years I scoffed at ivory tower types like this and came to expect this sort of behavior.

I’m getting to where I truly loathe these rat bastards.

How dare they say such a thing while their band of useful idiots are busy rioting?

Piss on the whole pack of them.

Well to begin with, these colleges need to be cleaned out of these dead beat professors that do nothing but teach lies, instead of something insightful to carry out through life...

And then the ‘snowflakes’ need to understand that carrying a Mexican Flag in American means NOTHING...if your carrying a Mexican Flag do it in Mexico that where it belongs and you along with it!!!

I wonder if they sent the same letter to Zero and Hillary. I’m sure the answer is nope.

I think we should fire everyone of these low life college and university Presidents. They are the CEOs of their enterprises and should be directly responsible for maintaining safe, peaceful protests. If property damage or personal injury occurs on their premises, the Presidents should be arrested and held accountable for all damages inflicted. End of story!!!

He should tell them to shove it. Then they can have some hot cocoa and a therapy dog.

Things are so BAD that the CEO of the ADL says if there’s a muslim registry he’ll register as muslim.

We white Christians are still the enemy to the majority of American Jews. I dont get it.

Muzzies would slaughter them in the streets until every last one from infant to the oldest was dead.

But We’re the violent ones

But they aren’t asking Obama to say anything? Liberals are so stupid.

Wow, a bunch of second- and third-tier colleges whining about the President-elect. I bet they are worried their gravy train is about to go away.

Did they write a similar letter during the Trayvon, Ferguson and other riots?

One would think 110 college presidents would be able to write a coherent letter.

This is essentially a big fat lie.

The one bright spot is that it gives trump a list of universities to start with, to demand they either get their campus back on a 50/50 footing politically, or face losing funds starting in 60 days.
