Emory Student: Calling Trump Campaign Slogans ‘Hate Speech’ Is a Threat to Our Democracy
A controversy about presidential politics, free speech, and creating an inclusive campus environment erupted at Emory University this week, with a group of students protesting after messages supporting Donald Trump appeared on campus. Student protesters told the president of the private university in Atlanta that they felt threatened and intimidated by the pro-Trump messages — first reported by the student newspaper, the Emory Wheel. A national debate ensued. Amelia Sims, a senior from Memphis, Tenn. majoring in classics and history, who is chair of the Emory College Republicans, offers her take on the issue.
