Mercer University students grill Trumps lawyer on anti-LGBTQ, anti-Muslim stances
MACON, GEORGIA Students at Mercer University wore rainbow flags around their shoulders and sat in silent protest Wednesday, while Jay Sekulow, personal counsel to President Donald Trump and chief counsel at the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), delivered the schools Founders Day address.
In the weeks since the historically Baptist school announced Sekulows speech, controversy arose among students, faculty, and alumni who opposed Sekulows history of anti-LGBTQ and bigoted statements and actions.
More than 600 students and alumni signed an online petition since the announcement asking the Mercer administration and student government to reconsider the decision, citing its long and distinguished tradition of promoting human dignity, fostering inclusion, and celebrating differences, and calling attention to Sekulows long and well-documented history of homophobia, racism, nationalism and anti-Muslim bigotry.
