Skidmore College’s bias-response group deems Trump slogan a ‘racialized attack’
The Washington Times ^ | July 1, 2016 | Jessica Chasmar

The Bias Response Group at Skidmore College in New York says Donald Trump’s campaign slogan, which made its way onto several whiteboards on campus, was a “racialized, targeted attack” against female faculty of color.

Three whiteboard messages with the phrase “Make America Great Again” were included in the BRG’s annual report and classified as “written slur[s] or graffiti,” Campus Reform reported.

“Multiple faculty door whiteboards have been the target of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump’s recent social media campaign, now dubbed ‘the Chalkening.’ This campaign encourages supporters to chalk/write the slogan: “Make America Great Again” in visible places on college campuses,” the report said. “Three faculty door whiteboards have been targeted (that we know of) and this is the third instance in which the words ‘Make America Great Again’ were written on the office whiteboards of female faculty of color; two of these were left on the same person’s door.”

“The BRG acknowledges that political speech is free and protected,” the report said. “As a group, though, we are committed to the idea that political speech is open, engaged, and part of a public debate. These seemingly connected reports suggest a pattern of using the idea of political speech to target specific members of the Skidmore community. As such, the majority of BRG members do not interpret these messages as political speech but as politicized, racialized, targeted attacks intended to intimidate.”(continued)

I wish college Conservatives (students and faculty) would fight back and expose the real racists and frauds. It always seems like the left-wing extremists are on offense while Conservatives are always on defense. If you’re defending, you’re losing. We need more people like Breitbart and Trump.

It’s college. If the teachers tell them how misguided they are, they’ll complain to their parents and their parents will pull them (and their money) out and send them to another haven for “Special Snowflakes.”

Maybe this was not an attack, but an appeal to the women to jump off the sexist and black plantation and get aboard the Freedom Train--the Trump Train. Go Trump!

. . . and Sarah Palin!

It HAS to be. Real Americans are too far from the bizarro world that liberalism is trying to turn America into, and unfortunately succeeding.

Anything Democrats don’t agree with, or anything said by anyone not approved by Democrats is racially biased and racist because Negros are material possessions of the Democrat Party. Those that escape their owners must be destroyed, economically and socially if not physically.

Oh, it starts earlier than that.

Young children try various things to exert their wills: refusing to eat anything but specific foods comes to mind. If they get their way it doesn’t become easier with them later and eventually you end up with parents who think being a friend to their child is mission accomplished.

The road to Special Snowflake Syndrome begins well before the leftist ideologues get a hold of them.

“The Bias Response Group”, “female faculty of color”.

A novelist couldn’t make this stuff up, even on an especially inventive day.

The fact that “whiteboard messages with the phrase “Make America Great Again”” upset these whacked-out leftists shows just how deranged they are.

Why whiteboards? Doesn't that make the school insensitive? This school seems prejudiced against blackboards. I bet the whiteboards were all male as well. Shame on Skidmore!

(Silly? My comment makes as much sense as their claims)

Skidmarks college. Pooping themselves over a slogan.
