Some Emory University students "in pain" after "Trump 2016" chalked on campus

The specter of a Donald Trump presidency is so disturbing to some college students that they're protesting pro-Trump chalk writings on their campus, according to a report by Emory University's campus newspaper.

The words "Trump 2016" appeared earlier this week scrawled in chalk around the college campus, the Emory Wheel reported Monday. In response, a few dozen students gathered at the school's administration building later that day, holding signs that read "Stop Trump" and "Stop Hate." According to the paper, the activists shouted, "You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!"

When protesters moved to demonstrate inside the administration hall, school officials issued a swift answer. College president Jim Wagner met with the students, who expressed anxiety that the writings were threats to their safety rather than political speech, considering Georgia's Republican primary was held earlier this month.

"The students shared with me their concern that these messages were meant to intimidate rather than merely to advocate for a particular candidate, having appeared outside of the context of a Georgia election or campus campaign activity," Wagner wrote in a university-wide email Tuesday. "During our conversation, they voiced their genuine concern and pain in the face of this perceived intimidation."

Liberal students are too timid to speak to un liberals.

That's why seeing Trump's name written on a wall unnerved them so much

Our young developing minds always instill confidence in everyone that our future is in good hands.

Its going to be a far different generation than the one that survived the Great Depression, won WWII and the Cold War while creating the greatest economy the world has ever known.

I doubt if these snivvling little 20-somethings will ever measure up to them.

But then again neither did the baby boomer hippy generation that spawned these young people at Emory.

Progressive students think that everyone who does not see things the way they do is either a gapped tooth hillbilly or a monster. Now where could they have gotten that idea?

True. It's a matter of degree. I would suggest, however, that it's not a lack of good examples but a lack of any meaningful standard. For God's sake, we have people here telling us that the "transgendered" are perfectly normal. One lifestyle is as good as another.

children grow up hearing only that and that is all they know.

Meanwhile the incidents of random mass murder increases every year
