Snopes on Emory University/Trump Chalk kerfuffle: FALSE
Snopes ^ | 3.24.2016 | Kim LaCapria

Posted on 03/25/2016 10:10:20 AM PDT by jra

Claim: Students at Emory University were offered "emergency counseling" after pro-Trump graffiti appeared overnight in campus "safe spaces."

Mostly False

WHAT'S TRUE: Students at Emory University gathered in protest after pro-Trump graffiti appeared overnight; administrators investigated the graffiti as it appeared outside designated areas for chalk markings.

WHAT'S FALSE: Counseling was offered to or demanded by anyone; students complained their "safe spaces" were violated; students were afraid or traumatized, not angry or protesting.

We don’t know if they really demanded counseling or not.

But even the fact that they were “offended” speaks volumes

I don't believe Snopes. It is a dishonest left wing site. They have consistently been wrong.

You have to search far and wide to find one that isn’t.

Well, Snopes claims they ARE accurate.

(AS long as either a liberal position is being supported, or a conservative position is being destroyed by the rumor.)

Yes, yes it is. Apparently not enough people know that fact.

WND’s banner day was when they nailed Snopes.

Snopes had Obama born in Queen’s Medical Center.

THEN, Snopes changed it to Kapiolani.

WND, to their credit, had captured screen shots of each.

Their “truth or fiction” is as flexible as Obama.

Snopes doing their standard liberal damage control.

The info came directly from the student newspaper. They were quite proud of being sissified.

IIRC, Snopes was years ago unmasked as a crypto-leftist history scrubber...

We need another “Snopes” for Snopes opinions.

So quotations from the students complaining about it where fabricated? If so, who made them up?

The story in the kiddie paper says 40 students protested. Out of curiosity I looked and found that Emory had an enrollment of 14,769 in 2014.

So the whole school and the school president bowed and scraped to appease less than 3/10% of the student body. This president should be out looking for a job that he is capable of doing. Clearly, running a college is not one.

So the real question here is why does anyone give a damn about 40 snowflakes out of nearly 15,000? Why is this even a story that got picked up?

This is the entire Snopes staff. Two far Left Wing Activist and their fat cat. Only lazy people go to Snopes thinking it's the bench mark of truth. I would say like Wikipedia it's a good starting point.
