Summary: The Social Justice League at Saint Michael's College in Vermont found "Make America Great Again" written on a whiteboard outside its office. It's not a hoax, but has led to a reaction calling it a hate crime - the "hoax" is in the reaction, not the act, although the hoaxers don't realise they are faking it. The League claims on Facebook “The intent behind this act is very clear. It is not just an act of free speech, it is targeted hate” because it is Donald Trump's election slogan.
