More Than 100 Notre Dame Students Walk Out During Mike Pence's Commencement Speech
Politics
More than 100 members of University of Notre Dame’s graduating class decided they would rather not sit through a commencement address made by Old Testament Cotton Ball Mike Pence, and who can blame them? That’s a terrible way to enter the Real World, even if the Real World is a legitimately terrible place to be these days.
The school typically invites the newly-inaugurated president to give the address, but decided against it after considering a widely-circulated petition signed by thousands of students and faculty pleading them to rethink the tradition this year. Just as well, since Trump is very busy whizzing around Saudi Arabia in a golf cart listening to Toby Keith. If he has a nice enough time, maybe he won’t come back!
