WestVirginiaRebel Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 The Blaze: The Bias Response Group at Skidmore College in New York characterized written messages found on whiteboards outside the offices of female professors “of color” as “racialized, targeted attacks.” The written messages? “Make America Great Again.” Without naming presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, the Bias Response Group noted the phrase “is associated with the political campaign of a candidate widely known to voice anti-immigrant and bigoted views.” The Bias Response Group’s report of 2015-2016 incidents added in reference to the Trump slogan that it’s “committed to the idea that political speech is open, engaged, and part of a public debate. These seemingly connected reports suggest a pattern of using the idea of political speech to target specific members of the Skidmore community with biased messaging. As such, the BRG does not interpret these messages as political speech but as racialized, targeted attacks.” ________ Safe space alert! Commence whining!
