The students made their point,there is nothing Pence can say he hasn't already said.Pence is no different then the cult leader trump.By getting up and walking out peacefully they showed many Americans ...Republicans and Democrats that you can protest peacefully and respectfully .People only get mad about things like this when it hits close to home and that bothers them becuase now they think they can be wrong and that scares them.
They don't respect half of America and throw a hissy fit because they lost and they are highly intolerant....that's all this is about.
If those idiots you referenced had spoken at my graduation, I wouldn't have walked out and may have learned something by listening to an opinion diverse from my own (actually when I was in college, I probably would have agreed with all those fools).
The protesters who hollered out during Obama's commencement address at the Notre Dame graduation did not listen and obstructed others from listening.
Not only that, they're on video. That'll always be available to potential future employers. Employers are not overly fond of hiring those who appear to feel they have to get their own way.
Are you saying it would have been better to stay and shout out to disrupt Pence's speech so that others cannot hear it, such as was done to Obama during his speech there in 2009? The shouters would not have been seen on camera after all. Would employers be fond of shouters who disrupt?
Unless they get doxxed, I doubt much will happen. These protesters arent particularly doxx worthy. 1 protest of a minute then life goes on. Noone hurt. Point made. I have no beef with them unlike the Berkeley goons, some of whom deserve multi year prison terms.
Sorry, they don't. The Catholic Church forbids same sex marriage and is most definitely pro-life. The Pope has not changed those beliefs. They are KNOWN beliefs of the Catholic Church. If those beliefs conflict with a student's beliefs, the student should not have deliberately CHOSEN to attend a Catholic university.
You can't choose a ribeye dinner from a menu and then complain/protest when you're served a ribeye dinner. See what I mean?
I believe there are other issues in which the Trump/Pence team diverge from the catholic church.
That makes no sense whatsoever. Again, Notre Dame is a CATHOLIC university. The communication/expression of Catholic beliefs should therefore have been expected by the students who CHOSE to attend Notre Dame. Don't agree with Catholic beliefs? Don't choose to go to Notre Dame.
How is that hard for you to understand?
The problem for those students, who walked out, was that the speaker, Pence, did not agree with the Catholic beliefs. Therefore, the chose not to "go to" or listen to Pence.
