"The University will review footage “up by the hospital [from] security cameras” to identify those who made the chalkings, Wagner told the protesters. He also added that if they’re students, they will go through the conduct violation process, while if they are from outside of the University, trespassing charges will be pressed."

We will find and punish them.
I'm wondering if they realize how much of a parody they are, calling out Trump supporters for hate. I think instead of talking to a psychiatrist (who likely will coddle or congratulate them) they should be made to see how hateful their side is by having them wear a pro trump t-shirt and walk across campus.

I'm curious, has any of the 'hurtful, racist' things said by Trump not been said by liberal about white people at some point in the last few years

Hey babies. Look at Brussels, or hundreds of other places I can name. You aren't safe, anywhere. The real name for your "pools of safety" is denial.

"The University will review footage “up by the hospital [from] security cameras” to identify those who made the chalkings

The morons at the University should review the First Amendment.

I looked at the new addition to this post, and it seems Emory, which is a private university, has speech codes. Fire rates them a "red," for being a school having "at least one policy that both clearly and substantially restricts freedom of speech."

FIRE on private universities and free expression:

https://www.thefire.org/spotlight/public-and-private-universities/

When discussing free speech on campus, it is important to understand the relevance of the First Amendment to private and public institutions.

As state agents, all public colleges and universities are legally bound to respect the constitutional rights of their students. That the protections of the First Amendment apply on public campuses is well-settled law.

Private universities are not directly bound by the First Amendment, which limits only government action. However, the vast majority of private universities have traditionally viewed themselves—and sold themselves—as bastions of free thought and expression. Accordingly, private colleges and universities should be held to the standard that they themselves establish. If a private college advertises itself as a place where free speech is esteemed and protected—as most of them do—then it should be held to the same standard as a public institution.

Furthermore, private colleges and universities are contractually bound to respect the promises they make to students. Many institutions promise freedom of expression in university promotional materials and student conduct policies, but then deliver selective censorship once the first tuition check is cashed. They may not be bound by the First Amendment, but private institutions are still legally obligated to provide what they promise. Private institutions may not engage in fraud or breach of contract.

It is important to note, however, that if a private college wishes to place a particular set of moral, philosophical, or religious teachings above a commitment to free expression, it has every right to do so. The freedom to associate voluntarily with others around common goals or beliefs is an integral part of a pluralistic and free society. If a private university states clearly and publicly that it values other commitments more highly than freedom of expression, that institution has considerably more leeway in imposing its views on students, who have given their informed consent by choosing to attend.

If the chalkings are on a sidewalk in a 'public' place can they really charge them with trespassing? (And yes, I know they can charge anyone with moonwalking on the sun, but is it a valid charge.)

"I'm supposed to feel comfortable and safe [here]," one student said. "But this man is being supported by students on our campus and our administration shows that they, by their silence, support it as well ... I don't deserve to feel afraid at my school," she added.

How to turn your country into a one-party state 101.

This student is afraid because someone on his campus supports Trump?

Academia is supposed to be where you hear ideas you've never heard before and are exposed to ideas that challenge your internal status quo. In college, I sat through a class in Communism 101. It was advertised as an examination of the dynamics between political systems and economics, but turned out to be Anti-Capitalism 101 (wish I'd kept the textbook, it was hilariously naive). I stayed in the class out of curiosity and the fact I couldn't drop the class and graduate on schedule. Did I learn anything? No. Was I microagressed by a professor who disrespected my viewpoint? By today's definition, yes, to the point that I should have run for my safe space.

College is supposed to be about the life of the mind. Once you start working, having esoteric debates about politics, literature, economics, and art late into the night becomes difficult. You're surrounded by people whose focus is on getting a specific job done.

Having someone on your campus support Donald Trump is not a crisis. Sounds like an opportunity to learn a little about Trump's platform, which is probably much broader than the soundbites would have you believe. Or to convert a Trump supporter to your preferred candidate.

"The University will review footage “up by the hospital [from] security cameras” to identify those who made the chalkings, Wagner told the protesters. He also added that if they’re students, they will go through the conduct violation process, while if they are from outside of the University, trespassing charges will be pressed."

So, will the person who graffitied the Che Guevara silhouette be punished? How about the person who vandalized the quad with anti-capitalist slogans? Or are we reserving our First Amendment suppression for those with whom we don't agree?

If the chalkings are on a sidewalk in a 'public' place can they really charge them with trespassing?

If the "perps" aren't students, then yes. Tho it will be more of a persona non grata warning that if you come back you'll be subject to arrest and charges.

Wfjag brought up Brussels, and I'll remind the poor dears at Emory that wasn't committed by Trump supporters.

Or radical Jews. Or radical Amish. Or radical Catholics. The worst those three groups might do to you would be to feed you food you're not used to eating. Or shave your beard.

Not try to blow you up with bombs that contain nails and other ready-made shrapnel so if you survive the initial blast, you may yet bleed out, or lose a limb or three. Because their Prophet commanded it be done.

"This student is afraid because someone on his campus supports Trump."

Of course, the real motivation is not fear. Expression of fear is just how the game is played; it's what gets you sympathy and favorable media coverage. The real motivation is narcissism. "I'm right, so anyone who disagrees with me is wrong. QED." (Not that they'd know what "QED" means.) Pundits have been warning for two decades that our country was raising a generation of narcissists, and they were right. All the dire predictions have come true.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: most of this generation will have to be institutionalized. (How that will be paid for, I haven't the slightest.) As they get older, I anticipate that violent crimes and suicides will soar, as they take their revenge on a universe that has failed to meet their demands. Future historians will regard the raising of this generation as one of the most barbaric mass social experiments ever conducted.

Yea, well, I've been "traumatized" by all the Obama, Hillary, Sanders bumper stickers!

Oh, and these bumper sticker are always on cars that are more expensive than anything *I* could afford - So, I've been double traumatized!

Cousin Dave, not just wrong, but with badthoughts and evil intentions. Because if you hold the Correct Thoughts, you are right and virtuous.

Such outbursts are virtue signalling to the other members of the Tribe that these individuals are virtuous and down for the struggle.

Notice the implicit assumption that Trump violates Emory community standards, as if everyone at Emory must agree with a particular point of view. How comforting to believe you are surrounded by 30,000 students faculty & staff who think identically!
Hell, just about every politician violates my personal standards, but that's life.

You are too stupid to be worthy of a college education. Please drop out and donate your place in school to someone who will benefit from it.

Exactly.

I was glad to see Katie Roiphe stick out her neck and put the blame for this nonsense where it belongs:

As a professor, I don’t feel like the classroom should be a safe space. I feel like it should be an unsafe space. One of the differences is that my generation did not grow up with this kind of super-intense, protective parenting. And I think that the idea that this world should be safe and you should be protected from every possible danger or hurt feelings has some relation to the way that this generation has been parented.

These kids didn't arrive at college as blank slates. Nor did they arrive with tough carapaces. They were taught this mortifying dependency, and they were taught it at home.

By the way:

I will vote for my dog, your dog, or your dead cat before I vote for Donald Trump for President, but if you happen to support him, I will somehow manage to survive till lunch -- and beyond.

cue music - "I will survive!"

Not sure how these weeping kittens correlate the wall around Israel (or why they think they need one), the sending of 'migrants' back to Turkey (and why they think they need to), the brutal treatment of gays in the Middle East (particular since Islam is the religion of peace), and so on.

Maybe they don't know?

Don't care?

Vote for HRC! 'cause ... (don't know why but people like to say that)

Eliminating the draft (or equivalent NGO service) was a mistake.

Jeez. I'm pretty much against big government intrusion but these pampered little shits are an embarrassment.

Go treat malaria in a country of have-nots for three years and then get back to us with your complaints of micro-aggression.

All the good points have already been made.

These fragile flowers will be enter the workforce and be unable to cope with any kind of adversity whatsoever. Or at the very least, as Cousin Dave suggests, enter the workforce and the world with the idea that to game the system, all they have to do is claim they're afraid and everything has to accommodate them.

College is supposed to teach one how to think, not what to think.

I always vote republican in presidential elections, they commit fewer war crimes, they violate fewer civil liberties, and liberals pay attention and protest when they do, when a democrat is in the White House liberals dont give a shit how many constitution precepts the government violates

Next, one of these children is gonna be triggered by hopscotch

These fragile flowers will be enter the workforce and be unable to cope with any kind of adversity whatsoever.

True, Patrick. But they'll be perfectly suited to work in corporate HR departments enforcing "hostile workplace" rules.
