Two Babson College students are reportedly in trouble after their idea of Donald Trump victory celebration was too much for some to handle.
According to a Boston Globe report, the two fraternity brothers placed a large Trump flag in the back of a pickup truck and drove through the streets of nearby Wellesley College, a women’s liberal arts college that also happens to be Hillary Clinton’s alma mater.
A brief video of the alleged incident was posted to Facebook on Thursday.
The incident was upsetting to some on the Wellesley campus and reports indicate police were called to put an end to the celebration. Some reports have also popped up online that suggest the men were in fact stopped by police officers and told to leave the campus immediately, or face trespassing charges.
When word of the incident spread back to officials at Babson College. The reaction was swift and harsh.
In the course of their celebration, the students apparently drove past Wellesley’s Harambee House, which reportedly serves as campus center for minority students. This has led some Babson College officials to conclude the students behavior was possibly racially motivated.
Lawrence P. Ward, vice president of student affairs at Babson, issued a statement that said the incident was under investigation because the “students’ behavior was experienced by many students of color and perceived by many others . . . as racially offensive and gender demeaning.”
The two students were also immediately kicked out of their fraternity by the Sigma Phi Epsilon national office, which issued a statement calling the conduct “abusive, misogynistic behavior [that] has no place in our society.”
Wellesley’s Honor Code Council, however, is calling for stronger even punishment and issued a letter asking for the students to be expelled from the college, immediately.
In response to that letter, Babson College officials sent their own letter to students at Wellesley on Friday morning that promised “appropriate actions” are being taken to address the matter.
Power of the purse and Executive Orders.
We need to (1) take back education from the libs and (2) take back media from the libs.
Education. Power of the purse will do it.
Media. No PR arm operated at a loss allowed. No foreign ownership of American papers (NYT was saved by the Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim). Bezos (Amazon) bought WaPo to use it as a PR wing and trade it for clout. Amazon pays no taxes.
Trump can also go after licenses of broadcasters like CNN who abused their duty to the public hosting fraudulent debates.
The left has gone past loony and is now experiencing a psychotic break.
So “f trump” t shirts, burning life size Trump dolls and beating on Trump pinatas is ok. Liberal hipocrisy is never ending.
LMAO!!
Nice work, men!
I believe this is protected by the 1st Amendment.
Really?
Did the students crash a gate and enter private property, or were the streets open to the public?
I hope the college is shamed into dropping this matter, but if not, I hope the students involved have good lawyers.
There is nothing wrong with celebrating a Trump win!
If they ARE proud of it, then their lives will suffer. Being unpatriotic in this fabulous, God-blessed country is just puerile, stupid and futile.
I think that they ALL should be FORCED to live in Bangladesh for one month. They will KISS the linoleum at LAX when they come home...I did. Lol. I was SO glad to be back in the USA!!
To be honest, one week, one day or ONE HOUR in Bangladesh would probably be enough to make those thick-headed idiots appreciate what they hate now.
Just my opinion.
I am leaving my Trump signs up until some libs take them down in this university town...................
still up as of today.
CNN is not an aerial broadcast network—it only exists on cable.
The FCC doesn’t control it.
Did they do anything illegal?
If not, this is infringement on their 1A rights.
They have a right to be assholes if they want.
It may appear psychotic to sane individuals but it is the left playbook.
Delegitimize
Demonize
Criminalize
Any and all political dissent from the leftist doctrine.
It is fascism.
First amendment for me, but not for thee.
Do you mean the girls complaining, or the men who simply drove around a flag?

HA! HA! HA!
STE=Q
Fake. Harambee House? Lol.
It sure is.
But, we ALL know that there is a price to pay. They were videotaped and those tapes WILL come back and bite them in the butt. They WILL eventually grow up. They will eventually get a REAL job.
How they deal with those eventualities will be a true test of their backbone and character.
You can rattle off every curse word and apparently walk around in public with your hands in your pants, fluffing yourself, but this is going to far?
Send in the DOJ, to investigate if the two student’s civil rights were violated. That’s what Obama would do.
