College’s Equity and Inclusion Officer Apologizes for Holding ‘F**k Trump’ Sign at Protest
“I understand that my public and private actions have repercussions on the institution I work for”
This must have made any students who support Trump feel very equal and included. Just goes to show diversity administration in higher education is about the politics of the left.

Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer flashes Trump, McConnell profanity-laced sign
A head inclusion officer at one Michigan school is in hot water after appearing outside a Trump rally holding a profane protest sign.
On Dec. 18, President Donald Trump held a rally in Battle Creek, Michigan. During that time, Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer Jorge Zeballos of Kellogg Community College (KCC) protested, holding a sign that read, “F**K TRUMP, F**K McConnell, F**K GRAHAM,” outside the Kellogg Arena where Trump was speaking.
Zeballos posted a selfie of himself holding the sign on Facebook, then deleted it, according to multiple sources. However, at least one screenshot was acquired of Zeballos’ post before all traces were allegedly removed.
According to WBCK local news, Zeballos later acknowledged posting the selfie with a follow-up post.
“Recently I posted a picture on my [Facebook] page of me holding a sign at a rally to protest Trump’s visit to Battle Creek,” wrote Zeballos. “While I stand by my first amendment right to express myself, I understand that my public and private actions have repercussions on the institution I work for, Kellogg Community College. Because of this, I deeply regret posting the picture on my Facebook page and the controversy it has generated.”

Not very inclusive, was he? Aside from political bigotry, maybe “inclusive intolerance” and “anti-diverse divisiveness” should get him fired for gross incompetence and lying at his job interview. Maybe look at the Bozos who created the job post and hired this squirrel.
Yes, you have a first amendment right to express yourself. You chose to do it in a manner that undermines the charter of your office. Having done so, no one can have any faith or confidence in your ability to discharge your duties dispassionately. There is no reason that any student who is not a political leftist can expect fairness from you.
It is good that you have apologized for your crappy behavior, but everyone knows where your heart is.
“Not very inclusive, was he?”
“war is peace freedom is slavery ignorance is strength”
–> Inclusion is exclusion, diversity is conformity.
Ya gotta learn your Newspeak.
Apologized for posting it, not for the language or public display that is counter to his position with the school. OK. Got it.
I’m wondering if he’s as tolerant as he expects the rest of us to be when carrying out his duties Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer
