DePaul University will no longer allow students to chalk political messages on the sidewalks of its campus because of the “offensive, hurtful, and divisive” nature of pro-Trump chalking found on campus last week.
“While these chalk messages are part of national agendas in a heated political battle, they appeared on campus at a time of significant racial tension in our country and on college campuses. DePaul is no exception,” Depaul’s vice president for student affairs Eugene Zdziarski wrote in a campus-wide email obtained by Campus Reform. “The university has been addressing campus climate issues in an effort to provide an inclusive and supportive educational environment. In this context, many students, faculty and staff found the chalk messages offensive, hurtful and divisive.”

Last week, Depaul’s College Republicans organized a chalking campaign on campus, during which phrases such as “Make DePaul great again,” “Blue Lives Matter,” and “Trump Train 2016” were scrawled on the sidewalks.
The campus grounds crew removed the chalkings the following morning but cited routine maintenance as one of the reasons for their removal.
“After some investigation, it turns out this happened for two reasons,” the university wrote in a statement. “First, the crew regularly cleans up chalk messages on our sidewalks. This is a part of their duties. Secondly, some among the crew considered the messages inflammatory. The crew has agreed to consult about such matters in the future.”

Trending on Twitter sometime soon - virtual pro-Trump chalking of the DePaul sidewalks, buildings, and even the backsides of any Anti-Trump person who makes the news (and thus becomes fair game). Easy to Photoshop and attach any picture on a tweet, so we just need a good hashtag to go with this:
Ideas?
#EatMyChalkDePaul
#WeShallOverChalk
#ChalkDePaulForTrump
#Liberty&Chalk4All
#FuchalkYouDePaul
Anyone else have a better idea for this hashtag?
Especially considering that the country is an order-of-magnitude softer then it was when he made that statement.
Are all “educators” such pompous, degenerate nincompoops? Where does he live? Maybe a “chalking” on his sidewalk would help him. What a mental weakling.
This is just a programming campaign to slander Trump by equating his very name with hate speech.
That such brazen, crude tactics actually work with college students shows how far down the hole we’ve fallen as a culture.
Pray hard.
If they weren’t such pompous, degenerate nincompoops, they’d have real jobs.
“Those who can’t do, teach”.
Immediately stop any and all taxpayer money going there.
Oh I agree. I bet there will be more chalk, though.
Some students will be in bomb-proof shelters for their safety immediately upon discovery.

Oust the president of De Paul........very bad person
They and their worthless spawn became professors, deans and presidents of universities and have made the universities worthless re any real education.
Eat my chalk dust Zdziarski.
Do it anyway.
Was it ever legal?
The opposing fans go to visit the other campus and write “Go Buckeyes!” on the Michigan Diag.
Officially they’d like you to clear anything with them, but as long as you don’t get caught, it’s OK.
Safe space oucies.
I hope the chalkings increase multi-fold.
“I hope the chalkings increase multi-fold.”
The hell with chalk, use PAINT!
err...that would be taking it a bit to far, as some of my superior officers discovered, when they painted sheep tracks out front of a “rival” squadron building, the night before a major Wing level Operational Readiness Inspection.
Stick to the chalk!
There really is such a thing as going that one step over the line...
Cretaphobia
“Stick to the chalk! There really is such a thing as going that one step over the line...”
Perhaps, but if you are going to make a statement, make a real one. One that cant be washed away by the rain or a hose. After a few of those they will regret telling you not to use chalk.
Let me just make a wild guess - you have not made any preparations, even mentally, for the widely expected “troubles” we are about to go through here in the USA, right?
What would lead you to that conclusion?
