<p>What began at Atlanta&rsquo;s Emory University has become an epidemic:<em> liberal students freaking out that fellow students would actually support GOP frontrunner Donald Trump! ;</em></p>
<p>Last week I wrote about <a href="https://punchingbagpost.com/atlanta-students-frightened-by-pro-trump-messages/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>the initial incident at Emory</strong></a> that had frightened students begging University President Jim Wager to do something. (I just want to point out that Trump&rsquo;s supporters didn&rsquo;t go crying to the authorities when they noticed all the &ldquo;Feel the Bern&rdquo; ads around campus.)</p>
<p>Forget about freedom of speech. President Wagner actually launched an effort to find whoever is responsible for the chalk messages and promised to send them through the &ldquo;conduct violation process.&rdquo; ;<em>All for spreading a little pro-Trump sentiment. ;</em></p>
<p>At the University of Kansas, ;&ldquo;VOTE TRUMP 2016&rdquo; and &ldquo;TRUMP 2016&rdquo; chalk messages are sowing panic among the school&rsquo;s liberal population. ;Similar messages were spotted at the University of Michigan, along with a giant message which read ;&ldquo;STOP ISLAM&#8221; in pink chalk. ;</p>
<p>Things are a little ;more serious at the University of California, Santa Barbara. In addition to pro-Trump messages, students (or others) scrawled &ldquo;Obama is a Muslim,&rdquo; &ldquo;Trump build the wall 2016,&rdquo; &ldquo;the wall just got 10 feet higher,&rdquo; and even &ldquo;Muhammd f***ed children.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>Many more universities throughout the nation are &ldquo;under attack&rdquo; by pro-Trump chalk messages that have leftwing students distraught. ;&ldquo;It concerns me to have families and potential incoming students not want to enroll into our beautiful campus due to hateful speech they may see while they walk around,&rdquo; says a UCSB student. ;</p>
<p>As someone who attended a Big 10 school in the Midwest, I can tell you for a fact that messages &ndash; chalk and otherwise &ndash; are not a rare sight on a campus tour. <em>It&rsquo;s just that for once it&rsquo;s not liberal students writing them. ;</em></p>
<p>Students at the University of Michigan actually called the police when they found pro-Trump and anti-Islam messages. A Scripps College, the message &ldquo;#Trump2016&rdquo; was condemned as &ldquo;racist&rdquo; and &ldquo;completely unacceptable.&rdquo; <em>Does this mean that expressing one&#8217;s political views is considered unacceptable at today&#8217;s colleges?</em></p>
<p>The ;drama still hasn&#8217;t cooled at Emory, where 40 students staged a protest urging the school administration to &ldquo;decry the support for this fascist, racist candidate.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p>President Jim Wagner made a show of scrawling his own chalk message &ldquo;Emory stands for free expression,&rdquo; but the school released a statement saying ;that pro-Trump messages represent &ldquo;values regarding diversity and respect that clash with Emory&rsquo;s own. ;</p>
<p>Donald Trump&rsquo;s social media director Dan Scavino is loving the publicity. He ;encourages the chalk messages and has been using Twitter to share photos. He even promises to show the best messages to the man himself. ;</p>
<p><strong>Author&#8217;s Note: ;</strong>Backlash against these &ldquo;special snowflakes&rdquo; from Atlanta has become a national movement. I can&rsquo;t wait to see what happens as the presidential race progresses&#8230;it almost makes me wish I&rsquo;m back in college.  ;</p>
