Depaul University bans chalk after pro Trump messages

http://dailycaller.com/2016/04/14/d...to-spell-trump/

You can no longer write political messages in chalk at this school because people wrote pro Trump stuff with the chalk.

So is this just crazy? Is it just me? I know people who go to this friggin school. This is just getting out of control.

They're banning any future chalking because of "offensive, hurtful, and divisive" comments, they just happen to be coming from pro-Trump people, which isn't surprising considering some of Trump's comments and opinions during his campaign.

So no, a school shutting down a platform which allowed people to be "offensive" isn't all that surprising to me.

Lol dude...um, you are way off. Nobody said anything offensive. People would write "Trump 2016". They are stopping people from doing that because some students find some of the stuff Trump says offensive, hurtful, etc.

This was not people saying offensive shit who happen to like Trump. They are upset because people wrote the name Trump.

So do you care to change what you just said? How does this revelation change your outlook on this?

So here's what I read from the story, quoted:

quote:

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…

Campus Reform reached out to DePaul to ask why university officials chose to respond to this particular chalking instance despite claims that chalking "regularly" occurs on campus. No response was received in time for publication.


Seems to me they were not just writing "Trump", "Go Trump 2016", "Trump for President" and the like, they were writing offensive comments, that's what the story is implying at least.

Some of the stuff Trump says IS offensive. The man goes out of his way to offend.

I'm not judging one way or another, but Universities aren't exactly supportive of controversy. Quite the opposite, they tend to err on the side of baby proofing their environment, to make it as welcoming as possible..

Trust me dude, they were just writing Trump lol. They are saying ANY pro Trump chalking is divisive.

So now do you see how crazy this is? Because look at the way this school acts. They are acting like people wrote out hurtful messages. It's not like people were writing "Trump is right all illegals are rapists".

If someone wrote "Clinton 2016" nothing would of been done. If a few years ago someone wrote "Obama 2012" what would of happened?

That's not what the story is implying though.

If true, that is stupid of the school to ban chalking because someone just wrote "Trump". But again, the story doesn't imply that.

If you don't believe me you can look it up, it is because people are writing pro Trump things. It's not like you can leave big heartfelt political statements with chalk lol. It's for writing just his name in chalk. I am dead f*cking serious.

I mean it's usually like "Trump 2016" and a drawing or something.

One example:

I am telling you straight up that is the jist of it. It's not like people were writing legit hate speech.

quote:
Paul Wagner, the president of the university in Atlanta, met with the protesters and later sent an email to the campus community, saying, in part, During our conversation, they voiced their genuine concern and pain in the face of this perceived intimidation.

After meeting with our students, I cannot dismiss their expression of feelings and concern as motivated only by political preference or over-sensitivity. Instead, the students with whom I spoke heard a message, not about political process or candidate choice, but instead about values regarding diversity and respect that clash with Emorys own".

But yeah, more or less it's because they don't like things Trump has said. I agree if people were writing hate filled diatribes in chalk that would be a cause for banning it.

Well, even universities have to heed the law of the land. That professor who tried to ban such offensive words like "Female/male" on threat of failing the class was forced to abandon that curriculum.

Not sure if chalk messages on pavement qualify as protected speech, though..

It's just weird if someone see's a "Trump 2016" thing drawn in chalk and immediately can't tolerate it.

Scroll down to the facebook post.

Says outright supporting Trump is "hate speech".

Hooooo boy, when did that one happen?

On point, I'm not at all surprised this happened. These spineless, far-left adult children are taking over academia at an alarming rate.

I hope to dear ****ing Zeus that these people will eventually grow out of it. Otherwise we're looking at a future where people dissolve into a puddle of triggered feelings the moment someone dares, for example, to express support for a political candidate they don't like.

The problem here is how will they grow out of it if we coddle them like this? If someone can't handle seeing a name written in chalk they probably don't belong on a college campus anyways. College is about being exposed to new things and new ways of thinking, not shutting yourself off from everything you don't agree with.

These kids are acting like Trump is Lord f*cking Voldemort, you can't even say his damn name or even write it down.
