Emory's Administration Panders to the Forces of Illiberalism

Atlanta

Early this week, students and employees of Emory University walked onto campus and found walkways filled with numerous chalked messages supporting Donald Trump. Most simply stated “Trump 2016,” but at least one exuberantly declared “Accept the Inevitable, Trump 2016.” Anyone who steps foot on a college campus these days is used to the ubiquitous chalked sidewalks, usually filled with announcements of meetings, events, and affirmations of political and social causes: “National Coming-Out Week,” “Black Lives Matter,” and “Israel = Apartheid.”
