Emory University President James W. Wagner chalked his own free speech message onto a campus sidewalk after students protested over pro-Donald Trump messages that they said threatened their safety.

Students had petitioned the administration to denounce the pro-Trump chalkings that began appearing throughout the Atlanta campus last week, saying the possibility that fellow students could support Mr. Trump made them feel unsafe at school.

Roughly 40 students carrying signs such as “Stop Trump” and “Stop Hate” protested outside of the Administrative Building last week, chanting “You are not listening! Come speak with us, we are in pain!”

Some students went so far as to disrupt a board meeting to ask that Mr. Wagner “decry the support for this fascist, racist candidate,” Campus Reform reported.

How many of these 40 “students” are actually paying tuition - or for any part of their education? I bet none.

Though I don't know about these specific snowflakes, I know that plenty of other snowflakes exactly like them (unlike the real world, all of these snowflakes are just the same....) that have been circular filed.

Life went on. Hopefully they learned from the reality check.

Former military is a pretty good place to recruit. Community Colleges, too.

Four Year Liberal Arts Schools? Not so much. And, I'm sad to say that state schools - even those with a technical bent - aren't what they used to be.

True, true.

They have that NPR-approved elitist metrosexual/homosexual “lisp” down pat. Followed with the aggressive screaming of the BLM-lesbian-homoosexual bigots.
