College Deems “Make America Great Again” Whiteboard Messages a “Racial Attack”

The Skidmore College Bias Response Group concluded recently that “Make America Great Again” slogans written on campus whiteboards were racially motivated attacks.

The Bias Group said the slogan to make America great is associated with a candidate “widely known” to voice “anti-immigrant and bigoted views.”

The College Fix reported:

A series of messages left on dry-erase whiteboards at Skidmore College during the spring semester saying “Make America Great Again” were deemed racially motivated attacks, a determination made by the school’s Bias Response Group.

The group’s year-end report notes that the term – the tagline of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump — was written on the whiteboards of two female faculty of color, one of whom has “immigrant parentage.” One message appeared in March and another in April in separate buildings.

The report states the slogan “is associated with the political campaign of a candidate widely known to voice anti-immigrant and bigoted views.”

The report concluded that while the group “acknowledges that political speech is free and protected … [t]hese 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 [group] does not interpret these messages as political speech but as racialized, targeted attacks.”
