University of Alabama students and members of the Student Civil Justice Coalition staged a sit-in on the steps of Gorgas Library Friday to protest the impending visit of President Donald Trump during Saturday’s football game between the Crimson Tide and LSU.(snip)
UA student Tori Jones organized the protest, saying the visit will put “all of our student body at risk” and that Trump “brings with him a culture of systemic racism.”
Below is Jones’ statement on behalf of the Student Civil Justice Coalition:
"I organized this sit-in to protest the arrival of Donald Trump to our university. Trump gave the University of Alabama little notice he was coming, putting all of our student body at risk. Moreover, Donald Trump also brings with him a culture of systemic racism.
While systemic racism exists at the University of Alabama, Trump only exacerbates the problem. The SCJC and I did not feel as though we should stand back and do nothing as this man came to our campus. This sit-in was to demonstrate not only our discontentment with Trump, but also our discontentment with the culture at UA that allows him to feel comfortable coming here at all."

Exactly what I was thinking. So they got 10 students out of the entire student body at UA to “protest”. Big difference from what I saw last weekend at the LSU/Alabama game. I guess these were the 10 that were booing that the MSM reported.
One dumbass has a poster saying Hate Not Welcome here and below her another dumbass has a sign that say she Hate Trump more then Auburn!
Stupid is as stupid does!
Bammers and LSU fans celebrated our president last Saturday. And they cover this?
