A Catholic college reported a crude Post-it note to city police as a hate crime because it told students to “suck it up” in response to Donald Trump’s election.

First Amendment experts say that while Wisconsin’s Edgewood College can punish students for even constitutionally protected speech, it cannot seek to use police to punish such speech as a crime.

And the police agreed. A spokesman for the Madison Police Department told The College Fix Thursday that a parole officer and detective already looked into the report and found “no immediate threat.”

Hence, there’s no further case activity and “it’s not an open investigation,” the spokesman said.

The controversy started after an Edgewood student encouraged others to write their feelings about the election on notes and place them on a public table, Campus Reform reported, citing a letter to the community from Vice President for Student Development Tony Chambers.

One such note mocked students who were upset about Trump’s victory. It read “Suck it up pussies!” and was placed on a window inside the Office of Student Diversity and Inclusion, rather than on the public table.

“Trump won, suck it up and get over it!”

Great idea for post-it notes on gasoline pumps.

Hate crime? More like thought crime, according to the so-called ‘tolerant’ leftists.

The same people scream if you challenge flag burning.

Sounds a lot like the 1860s.

Barring a miracle, we’re headed down that road again.
