I just received word that our campus will not be used for the event we opposed. I started this because I felt small, but you all showed me that when we hold our ground, we truly can protect the community we love.

I am honestly stunned to see that one thousand people have added their names to this. This result belongs entirely to the community members who took the time to speak up against something that felt wrong.

As a parent of a former WCU student I am shocked and appalled at the thought of Donald Trump speaking on a campus that showed us nothing but light, love and empowerment. Please don't open the door to allow his hate and fear spread like cancer on your campus.
As an alumni of two programs, I hope you will reconsider the I'll advised decision to have such a hateful person speaking at our school. I will certainly think twice in the future about donating to the school if these are the public associations the school chooses.
I am indignant that a man who stands for so much hate, oppression, and in moralizations is coming to a school that prides itself on diversity and acceptance. I, as a Latin American oppose Mr. Trumps visit, as he is against everything that represent who I am!
As a Wcu alum I think this would threaten the school atmosphere and would make the minority student feel marginalized as you are choosing to host someone who encourages hate towards and race baits. I this event occurs I will never attend a Wcu event in the future.
At West Chester University we have a civility statement, and Mr. Trump's actions and ideals go against this statement and the ideals of the university. I am ashamed that our university is allowing this ignorance and bigotry to represent us.
Good luck, Hope you Remember Presidential candidate Joe Biden’s famous quote "If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you Ain't Black," translation, If You Don’t Vote for Me, ‘You Ain’t Black’, So you “Ain’t” Black if you Vote for Trump? That’s embarrassing and a slap in the face to all Black voters. Think about that Before You Vote, and again Joe continues with another racist quote, “The reason I was able to stay sequestered in my home was because some Black woman was able to stock the grocery shelf.” What a shame. Then he also said, in 1977, that non-"orderly" racial integration policies would cause his children to "grow up in a Racial Jungle." Question: Why are Black Americans giving the Bigoted, Racist Joe Biden a pass, and accepting his racist comments? Why?
NEVER TRUMP!

As an alum, I'm very disappointed. I'm not against an open dialogue on differing political opinions. However, with him, there has been a distinct lack of dialogue and a plethora of hateful remarks directed at various groups or anyone who dares to disagree.
