re: #370 HappyWarrior

I don’t know how to best phrase this but I am sympathetic to a recent graduate who puts a lot of time and cash into their university expressing their discontent with their university’s choice of commencement speaker.

I can see that point but they are paying for an education, they aren’t paying to be told what they want to hear. I can see cases where boycotting a speaker would be warranted but it’s become way too common and it’s creating (or reflecting) a culture of intolerance.
