Media report on student protest of presidential election
The Bangor Daily News, WLBZ (Channel 2) and Sun Journal covered a student-run peaceful protest at the University of Maine. About 50 students and UMaine community members gathered on the steps of Fogler Library to speak out against the presidential election of Donald Trump, according to the BDN. Collin MacMillan, a first-year business major who did not participate in the protest, told the BDN he saw it as a healthy display of how many college students are feeling in the election’s wake. “I think it’s a great example of freedom of speech,” he said. “I think it’s a great example of college students expressing how they’re feeling right now.” Maine Public carried the BDN report.
