The Washington Post reported that Trump supporters had written "Trump," "Trump 2016" and other pro-Trump phrases all across Emory's campus in Atlanta during the night on Sunday.
That afternoon, a group of about 50 students protested in front of the school's administration building, saying "we are in pain," and claiming that the Trump chalkings were meant to be divisive and hateful. Some students even said they felt afraid for their safety.
"I legitimately feared for my life," Paula Camila Alarcon, a freshman at Emory who identifies as Latino, told The Daily Beast. "I thought we were having a KKK rally on campus."
"It was deliberate intimidation. Some of us were expecting shootings. We feared walking alone," freshman Jonathan Peraza added.
"I'm supposed to feel comfortable and safe [here]," one student told the Emory Wheel Student Paper. "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."
Jim Wagner, president of the university, then met with protesters, and said in a statement to the university that the students expressed "genuine concern... 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," the statement said. "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 Emory's own."

Liberalism is totalitarianism.
I am sorely tempted to drive down to Emory and write “Trump 2016” on sidewalks.
Those poor frightened Emory students. The keys to the crying room, safe space must have been lost. They need to get over it and live in the real world.
...lib professors using students again
Doesn’t sound like these “students” are mature enough for college.
I would like to see some pictures of their tear stained “che” shirts.
No, you did not, you lying bitch.
Paula Camila Alarcon, a freshman at Emory who identifies as Latino,
WTF??? "Identifies" as Latino??? You is, or you ain't. Quit lying, bitch.
told The Daily Beast. "I thought we were having a KKK rally on campus."
No, you didn't. You didn't think at all. I doubt you're capable of thinking, you stupid ignorant bitch.

OMG give me a break. Someone check her green card.
“Trump supporters” - has this been proven or is this another tawana brawlesque shiite show so the drama queens can weep and wail at the chaulk aggression and reaffirm that Trump is a racist demagogue?
That is a little far but I am tempted to do it at UT.
Put these idiots in their safe rooms and lock the door please.
[[Emory University students terrified to see ‘Trump’ in sidewalk chalk ]]
They must be terrified that might actually have to get a job and work to pay for their college tuition. If he gets elected college will not be free like Bernie says it will be.
Identifies as Latino. Actually a snowflake.
I was just going to call them “cry-bullies” but yours is more to the point.
Liberalism is totalitarianism.
LOL
yes these poor little fascists, having a world where people would dare disagrree with them
It's just so unfair (sob sob)!
I thought this was about Syracuse University. I could see that happening there.
We wonder how many of the frightened students wet their pants? Maybe they all plan to stay on campus for life, so they can feel "comfortable."
Tell these yankee jelly fish to go home to mama and hide behind her skirt until we tell them its all clear.
Free speech clashes with Emory’s values? Of course it does.
Liberalism is totalitarianism.
