In An Open Letter, Trump’s Alma Mater Condemns Him and His Message of Hate

By Adalia Woodbury on Sat, Jul 9th, 2016 at 6:30 pm

"We...express our unequivocal stance against the xenophobia, sexism, racism, and other forms of bigotry that you have actively and implicitly endorsed in your campaign."

Over 600 faculty, former and current students of Wharton school of business have had enough and said so in an open letter, where they state in part:

We, proud students, alumni, and faculty of Wharton, are outraged that an affiliation with our school is being used to legitimize prejudice and intolerance. Although we do not aim to make any political endorsements with this letter, we do express our unequivocal stance against the xenophobia, sexism, racism, and other forms of bigotry that you have actively and implicitly endorsed in your campaign.

The Wharton community is a diverse community. We are immigrants and children of immigrants, people of color, Muslims, Jews, women, people living with or caring for those with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ community. In other words, we represent the groups that you have repeatedly denigrated, as well as their steadfast friends, family, and allies.


The Wharton community is a diverse community just like the America that Trump and his party denigrates with the Hitleresque slogan “make America great again.” The 602 people who signed this letter did what the Republican Party’s leadership should have done the day Trump announced his candidacy. But, that is another story.
