is anyone surprised

they have drawn the conclusion that this sort of thing is normal/expected, thanks to the reactions to numerous other incidents on college campuses across the country

if they had couched their "complaints" in slightly more self-aware terms, every newspaper which jumped on them, from the post on down, would be supporting them instead. this is our reality

Yup, there is quite a few other way they could have reacted to this better. They could have just focused on supporting their own candidate, they could have attempted to engage and educate the masses ( it's a university ffs) or they could have just grabbed their own chalk and added "sucks dick" to the end of Trump.

Young people these days have no imagination.
