This week at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, students led protests to make the administration aware of Emory's unsafe campus environment.

No, they didn't feel they were in danger of being harmed by a terrorist attack in the wake of the carnage in Brussels. They felt unsafe after chalk messages appeared around campus saying, "Trump," "Trump 2016" and "Vote Trump."

The Emory student newspaper reported some students' reactions to the pro-Trump chalkings.

"I'm supposed to feel comfortable and safe [here]," one student said. "But this man is being supported by students on our campus, and our administration shows that they, by their silence, support it as well. … I don't deserve to feel afraid at my school."

"[Faculty] are supporting this rhetoric by not ending it," added another student, who went on to say, "People of color are struggling academically because they are so focused on trying to have a safe community and focus on these issues [related to having safe spaces on campus]."

College freshman Amanda Obando said, "My reaction to the chalking was one of fear ..."

Another student declared, "We are in pain."

The faculty praised the student protests.

Senior Vice President and Dean of Campus Life Ajay Nair told the Emory campus newspaper, "Activism can be a powerful tool to raise the consciousness of the entire campus community. ... Our purpose at Emory is to educate and practice community. This is how we teach our students to lead beyond the ivory tower."

Nair went on to call the protests "an effective strategy to gain the attention of the campus community on very difficult issues."

University President James W. Wagner told the newspaper, "I'm so pleased I was in the building when [the protesters] arrived. … The opportunity to listen and their willingness to try to explain more and more clearly to me the root of the concerns was very effective."

I appeared on "Cashin' In" on Fox News this weekend to react to this ridiculousness.

Most people laugh this off as college kids who will be hit squarely between the eyes with a big dose of reality after graduation when they find out that no one cares about their feelings anymore.

This is more sinister than some dumb college students protesting so they can skip class.

While we laugh about the childish behavior of these students, the faculty encourage the students to keep it up. These students are the ones who will be emerging from their parents' basements in 10 to 15 years and will be complaining about any opinion that doesn't match up with theirs.

The picture of Ronald Reagan hanging in their co-worker's office, or the Bible verse inscribed on their boss' paperweight, will be the target of these anti-free-speech students in a decade.

Right now, we are removing flags and religious monuments from public property. In 10 years, they will be coming for the political signs supporting conservative candidates in our front yards, which are visible from public property.

The First Amendment is under attack, and the left is planting seeds in the minds of college students to continue this slow assault to destroy it.

The groundwork is being laid on college campuses like Emory University right now to make sure there are no political figures who rise up in the future and push back against politically correct speech.

Right now, we see protesters disrupting the free speech of political candidates whom the left deems racist, bigoted, homophobic, etc.

Leftist have made great strides in destroying free speech, but right now, in this election cycle, they are losing ground.

You don't have to be a Donald Trump fan to realize, until the rise of Trump, Republican strategists had decided that several words and topics must never be discussed on the campaign trail to appease the anti-free-speech left.

Now Republican candidates are being forced to tackle the issues of illegal immigration and Islamic terror, and make them primary issues in their campaigns.

It isn't often when we see victories on the right. As time passes, we see liberty slowly slip away. The nature of conservatives is to defend ourselves from the constant attacks from the left and try to hold the battle lines where they are currently drawn.

The right is always on defense, and sometimes we are able to stop the left from advancing, but it is always just a matter of time until the battle lines for our civilization are pushed back just a little and the left gets its way.

In this battle to preserve the First Amendment, there is only one candidate who is not bowing down to the left. Love him or hate him, Donald Trump is now the final candidate in the presidential race who has not appeased the anti-free-speech left.

I am constantly criticized for defending Donald Trump in my TV appearances and on social media, but you don't have to agree with Trump to defend his right to run and his right to free speech.

This battle is more important than any one candidate. It about the preservation of our republic and our constitutional rights.
