Student attacked for wearing a pro-Trump 'Make America Great Again' hat at Calgary college

• Incident occurred at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Canada 
• Matt Linder was wearing the controversial Trump cap on campus
• Another student, Zoe Slusar, demanded he remove the hat
• She said the slogan represented 'hate language' 

A student at a Canadian college has been accused of using 'hate language' on campus by wearing a pro-Donald Trump hat.

The classic red 'Make America Great Again' hats - the slogan for the billionaire's presidential campaign - have become a point of contention for many in the lead-up to the election, and the situation at Mount Royal University in Calgary was no different.

Captured on video, the male student, Matt Linder, was approached by another student, Zoe Slusar, and told to remove the hat, which she described was a symbol of hate.

'You're not allowed to share hate language at a university,' Slusar shouted.

Slusar continued: 'Make America Great Again means make America all for white people, no immigrants, no people of different sexual orientations.'

'You've got to take the hat off or I am going to write the president of the University. It's not allowed. It's hate language on campus.'

In the video, Linder is seen shaking his head and disagreeing with Slusar. He repeats numerous times that, despite what Slusar is saying, Trump is not against immigrants, but illegal immigrants, Heatstreet reported.

The clip has gone viral this week, fueling a debate as to whether Linder was allowed to wear the hat on a college campus.

The footage finishes with another student, a male, grabbing the hat from Linder's head and walking away.

Following the incident, and as the video spread, Slusar took to Facebook to say she is 'saddened' at the way people have reacted to what she did.

'Wearing a hat in support of a movement grown on the seeds of racism, bigotry and exclusion of diversity (sexual and cultural) could make some people afraid,' she wrote. 

'People came out of the woodwork around us to support the hat, and after insulting me, they began filming my 'crazy' behavior at asking him to not wear the hat on campus.'

However, Slusar stands by her choice to confront Linder.

'I do want to state that I stand by my belief that every space, but especially university spaces, should be made to make everyone feel SAFE,' she wrote.

Melanie Rogers, a spokeswoman for Mount Royal University, would not specifically comment on the incident when contacted by the Calgary Herald.

'Mount Royal University respects individuals who exercise their constitutionally-protected right to freedom of expression, as long as it is peaceful and respectful,' Rogers told the newspaper.
