    I am not a fan of politicians of any party going to speak at college for things like commencement speeches or just speeches in general as I believe that runs counter to what I believe colleges should be.  colleges should be a place to debate not to be dictated to and I believe that is what speeches are. 

    I think people like Ann Coulter and Milo, Norm Chomsky, Ayaan Hirsi Ali should be invites to colleges but not for speeches but for debates.  Not inviting people who we disagree with is not solving anything,

    look at whose admin this is happening to. did people walk out when previous heads of state, republicans or otherwise, spoke at gatherings? not many, if any. at least not at all in the beginning. 

    this has less to do with liberals vs conservatives and more america vs trump.

    and how is this stfling the conversation? he's still talking. just not as many listening. everyone knows already what these particular people are going to say/have said. and people are free to protest that message by walking out. that's one of the tenets of our/your free society. how is anything wrong with that?

    I think that's quite apparent. which is why I don't even know the purpose of this thread. nothing but bashing one whole group for the behaviour of the few, which is a perfect example of anti-itellectualism.

    I can only go by what I see. from what I see, it's about 95% "whiny liberal" complaining as opposed to about 1% "donald's an idiot" complaining and 4% random words that have no context.

    whiny liberals got women the right to vote. 
    whiny liberals got equal rights for non-whites. 
    whiny liberals like everyone to have access to affordable healthcare. 
    whiny liberals don't like war and death. 
    whiny liberals like to help people of all colours, creeds, faiths, and orientations. 

    then call me a whiny fucking liberal all you want. I'll wear that badge anywhere.

    I don't think this has just started 5 months ago to be honest.  I just goggle a story talking about this.

    also, I don't have an issue with this. these people are invited to speak at a graduation ceremony. they are there for the students, not themselves as a paid speaker. if it was a paid speaking engagement, then fine. people will come if they want to come. but if people don't want someone to speak at their rally because they believe the majority don't believe the message that person sends, then I see no issue with that. and that includes if a liberal speaker was disinvited from a historically conservative campus. 

    I think too much is made of it.

    To be honest. If he started a thread on his pet rock we as a collective forum would see and discurss it grow from child, to adolescence, to its marriage, it's grandkids and eventually its passing before the impeachment of President Trump.

    so spending your time talking about donald trump on the interweb over and over and over every day of you life is annoying, but doing the same about another topic isn't?

    that makes so much sense.

    debates, yes, that should be open. speeches, no. up to the collective.

    Glad we can agree.  I wonder if there is any college students here who can talk about if they have protested any speakers and if so why?

    This trolling, flame-bait thread is done

    And to be completely clear, any similar thread about conservatives will be closed too.
    Make the discussions substantive about issues AND NOT EACH OTHER.
