‘Not my Jesus’: Christian students protest Pence, alarming conservatives (Goes to the Washington Post)

Taylor University, a Christian evangelical college in Indiana, has invited Vice-President Pence to speak at it’s commencement ceremony.

There is massive pushback against the university from students and alumni. A Change dot org petition has drawn over five thousand signatures.

“Inviting Vice President Pence to Taylor University and giving him a coveted platform for his political views makes our alumni, faculty, staff and current students complicit in the Trump-Pence Administration’s policies, which we believe are not consistent with the Christian ethic of love we hold dear,” wrote the petition’s author, Alex Hoekstra, who graduated from Taylor in 2007 and has since then held roles with the Democratic Party, including in Oregon and at the national level.
