Tullius est [et Tullius non est Cicero]: Students at Emory "University"

Unlike my ancient predecessor, this Tullius hasn't had his hands chopped off. With hands attached I offer my thoughts on philosophy, religion, politics, and whatever else I find worth mentioning. I'm conservative religiously and politically (with libertarian leanings). I value reason and freedom but also traditions and "Oldthink." I relish being on the wrong side of history when history is wrong--part of a philosopher's job is to be unpopular. (Views given here may not represent my employers')

Students at Emory "University"

This is not an Onion story. This is not made up. Emory students have been traumatized by seeing the word "Trump" written in chalk on the sidewalks. I kid you not.

The students viewed the messages as intimidation, and they voiced "genuine concern and pain" as a result, Emory President Jim Wagner wrote Tuesday, one day after meeting with 40 to 50 student demonstrators.

Students at Monday's protest chanted, "You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!"

According to the article, one of the students said
"I'm literally watching my back all over campus."

That's literally unbelievable!
