Soon after a Monday night rally by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump at West Chester University was announced, a petition opposing his visit popped up online.

The petition has garnered more than 5,000 signatures as of 11:30 a.m. Monday, but despite the grass-roots effort, it doesn't seem like it's halted the political hoopla.
So some students are taking an individual stance on social media to boycott the boisterous billionaire.

West Chester students are furious that trump is coming here today. I don't understand why they would let him come, he's not wanted.
