Who thought this was a good idea? Was it Devos herself?

In any case, the entire student body is full of FF's!

Booing someone because you disagree with someone. There is a reason why millennials are unemployable. They  are spoiled. She shouldn't be Secretary of Education by the way. She should be RNC chair.

because that's totally a thing that only "millennials" do

And all those manly conservative men at the NFL draft and anywhere the commissioner is

Omg, I CANNOT believe she actually thought it would be smart to go speak at a HBCU. My god she is so dumb.
Not nearly as dumb as the administration of Bethune-Cookman.

Policy is best written out of  spite and pedantry. That's the conservative motto.

Oh come on. Liberals cheer on a massive display of incivility and then whine about spite and pedantry.

She was probably screwed no matter what, to be honest. If she had declined and it was leaked, then people would be saying "OMG racist DeVos won't speak at a HBCU" (I know I would Cheesy).

Okay, I'm looking. Things were progressing better in the 1960s to 1990s than today.

They were probably backed into a corner. Probably would have seen consequences if they said no, probably were dangled some funding for saying yes.

Idiots speaking like an idiot. What's to be tolerant of? Wouldn't you boo if a band got up on stage and we're playing notably Out Of Tune? Well, this is the commencement speech equivalent.

'Well, that's because she's a woman and a lot of people don't look at female politicians the same way they look at male ones.

But we're not allowed to say this.'

Good point! If the same speech had been given by Bobby DeVos oh, there wouldn't have been a peep of disapproval from the audience. This was clearly just left just sexism. Glad to see you're on the case

Just a teensy-weensy bit of difference between being a crappy Two-Face commencement speech versus saying let's cut Federal funding for historically black colleges we supposedly hold up as an ideal because they booed one of our political allies

Seriously beet, you are a historically good poster, but you are getting as bad as bronze with this both sides do it ism

The left approves of pubs speaking at all?  That's news, Badg.
