Trump Supporters “Not Welcome” at UCF

Raising a new generation of libs with zero tolerance and lots of hate.

Quote:The University of Central Florida Student Government Association approved the nomination of known progressive, Grayson Lanza, as Diversity Chair —and conservative students are concerned.

Knight News received screenshots of a Facebook post by Lanza where he writes, “And let today be a lesson to all; Trump supporters are not welcome on our campus.”

Statements like this are not unusual for the new Diversity Chair, and are not just limited to Facebook. Daniel Hanna, a student who voted for President Donald Trump last November, recounted to Knight News his experience with Lanza at a pro-Trump rally outside the Student Union last September.

“When we started debating politics, I eventually said you know the great thing about this country is we can both differ regarding political views but we can openly discuss it,” Hanna said. “Then I offered him a handshake. He said I’m not shaking your hand, I do not tolerate you and you are not welcome here. “

Knight News made several attempts to reach out to Lanza regarding Hanna’s allegations and the Facebook post, but have not received any response.

Before reaching out to Knight News, Hanna said he reached out to President Nick Larkins’ regarding this appointment; he did not respond. Hanna said this specific appointment concerns him because he believes that real diversity on college campuses should include diversity of thought.

“He should not be head of diversity. I do not care if someone equally as liberal as him takes the position. As long as it’s not someone who has been actively aggressive towards people who disagree with him,” Hanna said. “That is the antithesis of diversity. You can talk about diversity of skin color, religion, and sexuality all you want. But diversity of thought is a real thing too, and if you ’re just disregarding people who disagree with you, and you just want them off campus, what’s the point.”

Larkins did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

Nothing quite like college students that fear having to actively think, debate, and respond to different ideas. Remember making fun of "safe spaces"? They are now just working to turn entire campuses into one.

I wonder if any of this group of clowns will make it up to Memphis for the football game this year. They may have a meltdown when they see the guy who flies a Tiger flag and a Trump flag in the HH lot every game.

They'll get a reality check when the real world kicks them in the teeth.
