They claim it was a part of free speech for them to do this. What happened to his right to free speech? Do they get sole rights to freedom of speech along with their diplomas? I thought the Constitution granted that right to all Americans, not just ND graduates. They also said they were "standing up for their moral and ethical standards". Why is he then trashed, yes trashed and disrespected, because he stands up for his moral and ethical standards? Is this all not the perfect definition and example of "double standard"?
There is NO excuse for disrespect and rudeness. I don't always agree with what our preachers say, but I certainly do not get up and walk out during their sermon. I don't agree with what former President Obama had to say much of the time, but I would never just get up and walk out on his speech because of it. I certainly wouldn't PLAN a mass walkout without even bothering to hear what he had to say.
Whether they choose to acknowledge it or not, these students do not have all the answers. They are about to embark on their life's journey and will soon find that there will be many things with which they do not agree....especially out in the workforce. They will soon find that pretty much no one starts at the top just because they have an education from a prestigious university.

I relate to much of your post. Besides that, you will not like what I will say. Please do not belabor Obama, Clinton, etc.
What we needed in this last election, and if you believe the posts on here you would agree, but what we needed more than a message of ANTI everything, we needed a Uniter.
Until this administrations just tries, as promised to bring us together, and stops denegrating everything American, and asks for cooperation instead of accusing. If the administration would begin to tell the truth, instead of blatant lying.
If those things happen, this activity will decrease. Always will be ideological differences, but now the language from our leader is deceptive and hateful, UNLESS you agree in total.
You speak to this REACTION, but refuse to even acknowledge the reason for. The current administration simply blames others...media, court system, electoral system, intelligence community. How much anti everything American do you expect people to accept ?
There will be no improvement in this country until our current leader recognizes he is not always correct...until he recognizes we respect TRUTH not deception and that a good leader accept truth.
