I feel sorry for Dr. Carson. I'm sure the liberals with the help of the leftwing media will do everything in their power to smear this man. To the left there's nothing more dangerous than a conservative black man.

Apparently the students don`t care to hear what he has to say.That`s not being "banned".

They fear him.

I watched an interview with him and damn, I'm very impressed. He makes statements that make sense. He's personable. But he wants to go fishing instead of joining the good fight. I hope he changes his mind soon. He's a great asset to America.

Statements like this is not going to endear him to many...not liberals, not moderates, not independents, nor Libertarians.

The students can choose whom to invite. When you attend JH and are graduating, then you have a voice.

it is if only certains groups of students dont care to hear what he has to say, like a few of the LGBT crowd. what if the majority wants to hear what he has to say, but the minority does not want it.

I`d be surprised if the majority wanted to hear narrow minded bigotry at their commencement.

The left hates free free speech!

A man spoke his mind (the truth) and they bash him.....

it just goes to show that the liberal left only likes free speech when it only includes the kind of speech that they like.

What is your definition of "narrow minded bigotry"? Anything you don't agree with?

Isn't that view of Mr Carson in itself bigoted?

bigot defined -
"stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own."
