The Tolerant Left: Kent State University Displays Trump’s Head On A Pike ‘Art’
A student at Kent State University was allowed to publicly display a piece of ‘artwork’ that depicted President Trump’s severed head on a pike with the caption “We only have to get lucky once.”

Can’t you just feel the tolerance and joy?
Incredibly, Kent State initially defended the monstrosity, claiming it was part of a student’s “art thesis” and was protected under the First Amendment and Ohio law, and that people should not expect it to be taken down.

However, after massive backlash, it now appears that the student who created it has agreed it can be removed after Senator Bernie Moreno and Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost both spoke to Kent State President Todd Diacon.
They essentially told Diacon the threatening nature of the display provided ample grounds for it to be removed.

This is incitement to violence. This is not protected speech. This must be investigated as an incitement to fellow travellers and conspirators to act against the president of the US. There is no other interpretation of this “art”, or the placement of this “art” or the audience…

These universities have become nothing more than Marxist indoctrination centers. It’s disgusting. No more federal funding!!

They are WRONG to think it’s protected free speech. It’s not protected when it’s an overt threat to POTUS. Find the artist and arrest him. Federal charge of threatening the President.

Incitement of presidential assassination.

"Tolerant" and "peaceful" left encouraging murder.
But don't anyone dare remotely suggest the same for their leadershit or they will go insane with rage and riot.
This is who the left are now.
So proud to be at Kent State for this 💜💜💜

Promoters of extreme violence, putting a smiley face on assassination, as Hannity put it earlier this week.
