My question would be "Who was in charge of inviting the commencement speakers"?

A VP like Pence would be fine IF he steered completely clear of political messages. Of course, that did not happen. His message should have been congratulations and wishing them well on the challenges to come.

Inviting Ann Coulter to Berkley was just as strange. An ultra conservative speaking at an ultra liberal university is not a good mix.

What would the seniors at Liberty Universitiy have done if their commencement speaker was Al Sharpton? No one would have attended the program.

Yes, students should think for themselves at college but administration workers at colleges have to think about reactions to speakers when inviting them.

Don is right when he says being rude is wrong.
