Some Iowa students stage walking to protest Trump victory

Many expressed anger and disappointment, and said they plan to fight Trump’s agenda, including building a wall at the Mexican border and not letting Muslims into the country. “How can we help everybody come to a place where we can be united, and we can create a future that can create a better life for all of us?” Another student held a sign calling for the rights of several marginalized groups with the words, “Gay Power”. “That’s not going to change”.

At one point, a lone Trump supporter was chased across Pioneer Courthouse Square and hit in the back with a skateboard before others intervened.

“We’re all mad about Trump’s election”.

A few dozen Boulder High School students walked out of class, some carrying anti-Trump signs. Some students cried and spoke in Spanish. “It’s unfortunate, but it’s attractive”. “I think it hit me when I walked into the elevator of my dorm and I saw a girl crying”.
