College students in Atlanta, Georgia, are so “afraid” of Donald Trump that even his name written in chalk prompts pleas for administrators to take action.
Dozens of Emory University students converged on the school’s administration building Monday to discuss the “pain” they felt over seeing the Republican front-runner’s name scrawled in chalk across campus. Emory’s College Council and Student Government Association also blasted emails to their contact lists, the Emory Wheel reported Wednesday.
Images of the campus’ pro-Trump messages were posted by the college website the Tab on Monday. The innocuous messages say “Trump,” “Trump 2016” and “Vote Trump” on sidewalks, along railings and up concrete stairs.
University President Wagner told students that school officials would review surveillance footage “by the hospital [from] security cameras” to identify suspects so a conduct-violation process could begin, the Emory Wheel reported. Wagner said anyone who wrote the messages who did not belong to the school would be charged with trespassing if caught.
“I’m supposed to feel comfortable and safe [here],” a student told school officials, the website reported. “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.”
College sophomore Jonathan Peraza asked a group of students what they were feeling and they replied with “fear” and “frustration.”
