Trump 'chalking' prompts hand-wringing at Wisconsin campus
Fox News ^ | April 21, 2016

Posted on 04/21/2016 3:59:23 PM PDT by jazusamo

The Donald Trump campus chalking conspiracy continues.

The University of Wisconsin Lacrosse is the latest campus where messages touting the polarizing developer's presidential bid were taken as "micro-aggressions" by college students apparently seeking shelter from disparate political beliefs.

"All Lives Matter," "Build the wall" and "Stop Illegal Immigration" were among the messages inscribed in chalk around the grounds earlier this month, prompting the school to send its "Hate Response Team" to investigate, according to EAGnews.org.

The investigative group even posted a message on its Facebook page to quell the worries of the student body.

"While we respect peoples’ right to express their opinions, we also recognize that some communities on campus experience these messages as discriminatory or hostile,” read the message.

“While we respect peoples’ right to express their opinions, we also recognize that some communities on campus experience these messages as discriminatory or hostile,”

Since these messages are not visible unless you’re actually in the country, why should it matter?

Brings to mind that 1960s classic by Joe Jones, “You Talk Too Much”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GOYYbiEul0

[modified for 2016]

You chalk too much
You worry me to death
You chalk too much
You even worry my pet

You just chalk
chalk too much

You chalk about people
That you don’t know
You chalk about people
Wherever you go

You just chalk
chalk too much

You chalk about people
That you’ve never seen
You chalk about people
You can make me scream

You just chalk
you chalk too much

[Instrumental Interlude]

You chalk too much
You worry me to death
You chalk too much
You even worry my pet

You just chalk
chalk too much

You chalk about people
That you don’t know
You chalk about people
Wherever you go

You just chalk
chalk too much

You chalk about people
That you’ve never seen
You chalk about people

Real name is the “Prim Politically Correct Pansies Police”.

Well, it is the Un. of Wisconsin. Cheese doesn’t have much intelligence nor do Cheesehead administrators.

Send in the Limburger Brigade. Microaggression stinks. Outlaw chalk, the weapon of microaggression white privileged anti-safe space slavers.

As the used to cry in the old days of protests, “Right Up”.

“the polarizing developer’s presidential bid “

And yet the KommieMedia never describes Hillary, Sanders or Cruz as polarizing. Go figure.

You should send them an email with that suggestion. No, really. It’s a good one.

Last fall there was an incident at Lacrosse. A construction ordelivery vehicle had a confederate flag on it. The snowflakes were in tears.

That explains a lot, especially about the “Hate Response Team”.
