"The entire idea of “chalking” as a form of expression has apparently been a tradition at DePaul for quite some time, just as it is on sidewalks around the nation. It may seem silly and even trashy (when attempted by those with less artistic flair) but if you’re going to allow the temporary defacement of the public thoroughfare in what is an essentially harmless exercise of the First Amendment it obviously has to apply to everyone. The alternative is to have it apply to nobody and that’s the course which the university has chosen."
Remember the story not long ago about the college student claimed he felt 'threatened' because someone had drawn / written a Trump 'Slogan' with chalk on a wall. Think about that for a second, at just how far our nation / our nation's youth has fallen. Years ago 18yo kids were bravely storming the beaches of Normandy, trudged through the jungles in Viet Nam, or marched through hostile gauntlets of police/racists/dogs alongside Martin Luther King. Todays youth are 'threatened' and rendered traumatized by CHALK DRAWINGS.
Such an offended / traumatized student railed against the tradition at DePaul due to the fact that someone wrote / drew something in chalk that disagreed with what they did. They demanded that the offender's 1st Amendment right be denied / stripped. Finding itself unable to single out individuals in such a manner, DePaul outlawed its tradition of allowing the self-expressive use of chalk on its campus by anyone.
As I said in another thread, think for a minute at how far our youth have fallen in this country. Years ago 18yos bravely stormed the beaches of Normandy, trudged through the jungles of Viet Nam, and ran the hostile 'gauntlets' of cops, dogs, fire hoses, and violent racists as they marched beside Martin Luther King Jr. Today's youth demand free education, free health care, refuse to work for any of it, and are 'threatened' by chalk drawings, forcing them to demand 'safe zones'. The only safe zones those kids getting off the landing crafts at the beaches of Normandy had was onboard the ship they had just left.
If our youth really are this nation's future...we're screwed.
