It worries me that anyone could react this way to something like this. If you can't feel safe because someone scribbled Vote Trump in chalk, you are doomed to a life of fear. With all the Safe Spaces and Political Correctness, too many youths have been coddled to the point of having no ability to deal with even the mildest adversity.
What tone might this story have taken if a number of students had had this same reaction to a chalk sign saying Vote Bernie or Vote Hillary? There would be much laughing and ridiculing of these students, which is the appropriate response. They have been 'protected' for so long that they haven't developed the callouses that adulthood requires. We all want to protect our kids but we also need to remember that they will eventually grow up and it would be nice if they had some maturity by then. Otherwise, they might cry at the sight of an innocuous chalk drawing.
