Emory University president says students are scared and 'in pain'...
Daily Mail ^

Posted on 03/24/2016 4:14:15 AM PDT by bryan999

The president of Emory University has spoken to demonstrators who said they were frightened after someone wrote 'Trump 2016' in chalk around campus.

Students at the Atlanta school, which has an enrollment of more than 14,000 claim their 'safe space' was violated when the messages appeared on sidewalks and buildings.

Jim Wagner, president of the Atlanta university, wrote Tuesday that the students viewed the messages as intimidation, and they voiced 'genuine concern and pain' as a result.

He acted after student government wrote to him and slammed the university's response, prompting a meeting that led to protests. Now administrators want to track down those responsible for the controversial markings.

But some commentators on the university's student newspaper website told the students to grow up and accused them of being babies.

I’m a nearly 70 year old fogie who does not support Trump. But if knew it would unglue the liberal education community like this, even I would go around writing ‘Trump 2016’ in chalk on their sidewalks.

They need asylum time, not classroom time. If I was an Emory student, I would be grossly embarrassed for being a student at this university.

Todays yutes are suffering from the terrible disease called Public Education Syndrome and have yet to experience the real realities of life . That’s why the bumper sticker said “ Hire a Teenager while their still young and know it all” . Very sad to think my destiny may one day end up in their hands .

Let me guess, it was standing room only in the rooms with the puppy videos and stuffed toy animals.

All the so-called suffering of these socialists is jut a lie to achieve their goal—

Getting Trump and Trump supporters banned on campus, and providing propaganda that Trump is a racist demagogue that deserves it.

Nothing else.

No doubt inspired by Soros-funded consultants from the Clinton Foundation/DNC/Journ-0-list cabal.

It is just propaganda!

And achieving its goal. No one’s talking about free speech, or that Trump is just a person running for office (and winning!) supported by people of all walks of life, no; they’ve moved past that.

He’s dangerous! Must be stopped! People who like him must be stopped! He’s a dangerous, racist bigot, and therefore, so is anyone supporting him!!!

We all scoff at their weakness and hurt feelings, but as propaganda, it is working. Maybe not on a lot of people, but for the gullible it is.

Glad they're prepared for the real world. If they can get through a few words in chalk,nothing can stop them!

What about the gang graffiti on trains? This is graffiti by violent gangs. It does indeed frighten and intimidate. What is done about THAT? What about other graffiti gangs leave everywhere..?

And those COEXIST stickers....when the islamics come with swords.

You might want to consider changing that to a degree from just about any university for the last few years, not just Emory. They all seem to be acting this way.

If his answer was anything other than “You’re weenies. Transfer out.”, he’s a weenie.

I'm curious about the curriculums these students are enrolled in. I would think that serious students enrolled in engineering, pre-med and such would not have time for this nonsense........

"Wagner added that the Freedom of Expression Committee is meeting to address whether the person or people responsible for the chalking were in compliance with Emory’s policy. "

Unbelievable.

I wish I was that age again. I would do nightly capers that would have the entire lot of those people catatonic while weeping under a protective pile of clothing in the closet sucking their thumbs.
