Tulane University fraternity causes uproar on campus after erecting 'Trump wall' that reads 'Make America Great Again'

- However, upset students said this time the wall was 'filled with connotations of hate and ignorance'

A Tulane University fraternity has caused an uproar this week after building a wall made of sandbags with the message 'Make America Great Again and 'Trump' plastered across it.

Photos of the wall circulated on social media after it was erected on April 7 on the off-campus house of the university's chapter of Kappa Alpha Order.

As part of the local chapter's annual tradition, it has pledges build a wall around its private property each spring ahead of its 'Old South' formal ball, according to The Times-Picayune.

However, upset students said this time the wall was 'filled with connotations of hate and ignorance

The wallhas since been torn down by unidentified individuals alleged to be Tulane football players.

In a video posted to YouTube, individuals can be seen grabbing the sandbags and tossing them into the street while fraternity members look on, one saying 'this is private property.'

'These connotations most directly mocked the experiences of Latino immigrantsand workers throughout our nation,' a post on student Ana De Santiago's Facebook read.

'By writing Trump in large, red letters across the "wall," KA changed what was a tradition of building a wall into a tradition of constructing a border, symbolizing separation and xenophobia.

'This issue not only affects Latinos but all other marginalized immigrant groups in this country.

'In Trump's own words, "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending the best...they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists" - taken from Trump's speech announcing his presidential candidacy, June 2015.

'Please help us raise awareness of this persistent prejudice and share/like this post. ?#?StandWithYourGENTE?.'

University spokesman Mike Strecker told The Times-Picayune that leadership in the local chapter said members used Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's name and slogan on this year's wall as satire.

Previously, Trump's comments were deemed racially offensive when he pledged to build a vast wall across America's southern border to keep out illegal Mexican immigrants, saying: 'They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists!'

He later came under fire when he called for 'a total and complete shutdown' on Muslims entering America, in order to prevent terror attacks.

On Wednesday, the university addressed the incident in a statement, saying thatwhile it encourages the 'free exchange of ideas and opinions', the local chapter's actions 'sparked a visceral reaction in the context of a very heated and divisive political season,' The Times-Picayune reported.

In an effort to support the individuals who dismantled the fraternity's 'Trump wall', Tulane's Latino student advocacy group, Generating Excellence Now and Tomorrow in Education (GENTE), set up a Change.org petition against the university's administration.

'We the undersigned stand in solidarity with the individuals who took the brave action of dismantling the wall in front of Kappa Alpha Fraternity House,' a statement on the petition read.

'This wall, although a tradition carried on by Kappa Alpha for many years, has been a source of aggression towards students of colour on this campus, and this year, with the addition of the labels "Trump" and "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN," has become overtly threatening towards Muslim and Latino students.'

In a statement released to The times-Picayune on Tuesday, the fraternity's national chapter Assistant Executive Director for Advancement Jesse Lyons said its chapter takes KA's values of gentlemanly conduct very seriously.

Just another nail in coffin of the wacko left free speech argument.

So I'm confused?

If you don't like a message it is ok to go on to private property and destroy it? What if the Frat bros went and tore down a wall that said Black Lives Matter? A pro LGBT statement?

I guess the 1st amendment is now only available to some people.

Cool. So I can go onto private property and tear up stuff I don't like?

Trump is dumb. Anti-Trumpers are dumbererer.

Not real smart of the Fratters. They should have waited until afte r the party, then wrote all the Trump slogans on the wall. It would have saved them ( at least the pledges) from tearing it down.

Next time I need a wall torn down, I know what to do!

Classic left. It's funny if people get violent and break the law to infringe on the free speech of others. If you're cool with this then by definition you have to be cool with Trump thugs beating people up. How is it any different?

Show me how building a wall around a private property and endorsing a candidate is violating anyone's ANYTHING.

Those puzzy white guys have the right to say what they want.
Those cool, intelligent people that tore that shyt down might have committed a misdemeanor.

I still laughed at the puzzy frat boys shytting their pants and I admire the people that tore down that racist nonsense.

You're easy to crush in any conversation.

If by "crush," you meant revealing yourself to be an intellectually dishonest martinet, then you did indeed crush him.

Is this racist, dolt? It's a f ucking campaign sign and you're a full on idiot. I hate Trump and hate his supporters even more, they're an embarrassment to intelligence...but they have every right to express their political opinions on private property just as you do. Building a wall of sandbags is not hate speech.

So the frat is alleging that the people who tore down the wall infringed on their safe space?

No intellectual dishonesty here.
You probably relate to those little KA pussies who just got emasculated and had to run inside......

Not really, other than respecting the rights of even those I disagree with to express their views.

I'm with Voltaire. I may disagree with what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

Amazing people still don't realize the wall is to stop illegal immigration. Or they do and they think that's racist? Either way pretty dumb.

Who owns the fraternity property? I'm assuming the chapter does. I'm not familiar with them, so is there a chance the university has some ownership of the property?

My thoughts are that the first amendment protects your speech from the government and not football players or university officials.

But have your private property destroyed should be protected by the government. Every single one of those football players should be given a citation for trespassing, destruction of property and probably a couple other things.

They're bags of sand.

A misdemeanor for scaring puzzy boys half to death.
Also, making them sad.

You'd make a fine Klansman.

Doesnt matter. It wasnt their "safe space". It was their property, and it was vandalized.

So charge them with trespassing or whatever. Only the blatant bigots make it a point to get all up in arms about this. Guy says something offensive and gets punched in the face nobody cries about 1st Amendment Rights and Liberals.

Also, invokingthe 1st Amendment here merely shows a lack of understanding of the 1st Amendment.
