College Student Faces Discipline For Having Trump Background On Zoom Call

Robert Dailyda, a graduate student at Stockton University in New Jersey is fighting back against the school’s attempt to discipline him for using a Trump background during a zoom call.

Stockton University is a public university located in Galloway Township of New Jersey.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is defending Dailyda.

The Press of Atlantic City newspaper reports:

According to the complaint, which was attached to the FIRE letter and posted on the organization’s website, the incident began July 1 during a Zoom meeting with Dailyda’s class in which he used a background image of President Donald Trump.
The Zoom background prompted a “heated” but “not threatening” discussion after class in a group chat, the complaint states. Following the discussion, Dailyda posted on Facebook, “I love this country. We are a diverse, yet assimilated population from all backgrounds. I believe all must have the same opportunities and I commit to make that a priority. Beyond that, I am done with the leftist agenda of BLM and the white self haters. I have seen it in action in my doctoral classes at Stockton and the general media. I’m not backing down. If we can’t get past this, ok, I’m ready to fight to the death for our county and against those that want to take it down. I believe there are also many like me.”
Another unidentified Facebook user commented on the post, “Bob Dailyda that’s what we do. (Quiet) but ...we aim with precision. Boom done. No drama.”

A spokesperson for the school confirms that Dailyda is being investigated for a code of conduct violation.

As FIRE points out, Stockton University is “a public institution bound the the First Amendment, Stockton may not punish its students for their political expression.”
