‘The Chalkening’ of Trump: Terror grows on campuses

Free-speech advocates confirm students distraught over campaign slogans

On university campuses, where many enthusiastic students vote for the first time, political candidates’ slogans typically appear on signs, bumper stickers, T-shirts, placards, dorm-room walls and even in chalk on sidewalks.

But as with about everything else in the 2016 presidential race, there’s nothing normal about the impact of the slogans this year, especially the ones promoting GOP front-runner Donald Trump.

They’re striking terror.

The incidences of Trump sidewalk art across the nation even has been dubbed “The Chalkening.”

“‘The Chalkening’ spreads,’ tests universities’ commitment to free speech,” headlined the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education.

Obviously these pansy do not know what terror is! Maybe we need to send them to Jerusalem for a week or two. Maybe Syria.

But I bet there would be no outrage if the letters "BLM" were being chalked.

Chalk doesn't terrorize libtards, people using chalk do.
