It got me to thinking, this toon had 4 years to brainwash these graduates. Yet from the response given to her, they showed no signs of being brainwashed. That means that somewhere at that university, there is someone who is getting the opposite message across to these young adults. It could be their parents, otther teachers who have read the laws, or these brave souls who take the evidence for what it is & not manipulated for what it could be.
Hats of these noble minds, they have a bright future ahead of them as they stick to their principles.

Who decides what is "crap"? Who decides for the students what is "crap"? Maybe they would like to make up their own minds and not listen to "crap" at all. Including some of the "crap" here.

As for the venue, it's up to the school to decide if that's appropriate. If they were ok with the speech then there is no more to say about it. The kids can boo if they want. I don't do such things because I think it's rude, but that's just me.

The speeches are not screened for content, a speaker pretty much has a free reign on what they can say at the podium with some general guidelines about not offending race or religion.
Booing is not a violation of any rights, yes it is rude..but what is more rude is to spew ignorance without knowing the facts, especially when you are a professor who is suppose to represent a higher education institution.

Where you watching the same video as I was? After the mention of the AZ Act, the audience pretty much successfully shouted down the booers. I only saw "unity" for about 20 sec.
Secondly if you want to go there, the film was taken from the side, right side to be exact. Did you notice the whole auditorium at the end?
One could go so far as to say, "Thank Dad, for ruining my graduation. Happy?"

As for it being ignorant-Says who? You. Why? Because you don't agree with it. At the end of the day you are arguing a subjective value. It's how she views it and that's not ignorance. That's opinion. That's her right.
Originally posted by prionace glauca
That is one view point from someone who was not there, and another view point from some one who was not there would "Thanks MoM and DaD, we stood up to ignorance today after 4 years of brainwashing."

What would you call individuals who do need read the text at hand but continue to rail against the text they are referring to?
I would call that ignorant or Opinions based on ignorance. Such as those of the POTUS and the Tools in his administration.

Hey if they read and and don't agree with it that's their right. Different strokes for different folks. Variety makes the world go round, all that jazz. Simply because they don't agree with you does not make them ignorant, sub human, slobbering morons.
