19 Epic Displays of Failure on College and University Campuses That Demonstrate How Free Speech and Civility are Dying

In perhaps the most disgraceful display of tantrum throwing, Notre Dame wins honorable mention.

When Vice President Mike Pence was invited to keynote at the commencement, many students at the Catholic school had meltdowns.  Protesting the decision to invite Vice President Pence to speak fell on deaf ears.  The school defended their selection, as Vice President Pence hails from Indiana–the location of the University of Notre Dame.

As the Vice President took to the podium, several students got out of their seats and marched out.  Some simply stood up and turned their backs on Vice President Pence.  Students then gathered outside to hold up “Love Trumps Hate” signs and stand in unity against the horrible commencement ceremony.

We have met Presidents (and Vice Presidents) from both sides of the aisle, and guess what? Regardless of politics, we are honored to meet them each time.
