    this is not a trivial issue
    The original issue of Ivanka Trumps speech being moved in the order of ceremonies is a trivial issue that is being made to sound like she was arrested in a public square for speaking out against the government.

      For the record, I also think the original thing was a trivial issue also. Personally, I rolled my eyes when I saw she was going to deliver a speech then never thought about it again until all this came about.

      It didn’t seem necessary, to me, to petition to have her speech removed or moved. It seems completely unnecessary to threaten to withdraw support from the university, which existed long before Jay Golden and will exist long after, over this.

          Exactly. And Michelle Obama as well. It wouldn't shouldn't matter. Like probably (hopefully) most graduates...I'd just be happy to get my diploma and go kick-ass in the world starting a future for myself. But everything these days is meant with political opposition cause more and more young people simply refuse to put on their big-boy pants and just go do.

            I don't think big-boy pants are sold anymore.

                  John Cleese's sketch in this video is so absolutely spot on, and that's an oooold segment. Crazy!

                      Why you so angry?

                      If this was such a trivial issue why was the lefty's so hot to intervene?

                      • Kansas school embraces Ivanka Trump ad campaign

                        "“This is a campaign we are involved in and actually WSU Tech is highlighted as one of the institutions within this,” Utash said."

                        "Utash said “there’s no correlation” between the new ad campaign and the earlier campus controversy."

                        "“I don’t anticipate it to be any problem whatsoever,” she said."

He obviously doesn't value diversity of thought enough to stand up to the vocal minority and allow WSU Tech (which is supposed to operate independently) to control who speaks at it's own graduation.
