The Chalkening was a protest that took place on university campuses across the United States in March and April 2016 to support President Donald Trump's candidacy. Those who promote it include Students for Trump and Trump campaigns. This protest primarily takes the form of chalk writing in public areas on campus with slogans such as "Trump 2016".

Origin

This mass, chalk-based, protests occurred simultaneously with a media outpouring of criticism over an incident at Emory University in March 2016. An Emory university administrator sent an email expressing support for students who claimed to feel threatened and insecure by hate speech in the form of Chalking pro-Trump in campus.

Backlash to backlash

Criticism of anti-Trump Emory students is a reaction that emerges from the pattern of toads felt by university administrators from certain student groups who have an unreasonable view of the standard of public discourse. The chalkening phenomenon has emerged amid heightened tensions on American university campuses that surround the 2016 Presidential Campaign, which sometimes includes violence. The perceived microagresions, such as chalkening , have been underestimated by some commentators who try to distinguish them from the events of the 2016 world such as genocide and war. In mid-April 2016, DePaul University banned the use of chalk on campus sidewalks after College College hosted a Chalking event in which students wrote pro-Trump messages.
