The Trump/Pence administration stand for so many things that the Catholic Church denounces.

Quote:
Specifically, they are walking out because Pence has “targeted the civil rights protections of members of (the) LGBT+ community, rejected the Syrian refugee resettlement program, supported an unconstitutional ban of religious minorities, and fought against sanctuary cities.”
Quote:
The students also invoked the contrasts between Pence’s policies and the teachings of Pope Francis.
Notre Dame students just announced a walkout at Mike Pence's commencement speech

Pence has freedom of speech but people have freedom not to listen.

This is a better protest than demanding for him to not speak.

Eh, it's their right I guess. Whatevs.

I personally feel it's extremely poor decorum and also disrespectful to any of their fellow students however who see Commencement as an extremely important hard-earned day in their lives and don't deserve the chaotic and disruptive environment that this "protest" will create. Attention-seeking behavior at the expense of everyone in attendance.

Well, they are in Indiana, and Indiana was on the cusp of throwing Pence out of office, so I would say they know the man better than most of us.

It's their right. Good for them for exercising it.

Good. At least the appreciative students will be able to listen. So much better than shout downs and violence we are use to with the college lefties.
