ND students 'feel unsafe' about Pence giving Commencement

University of Notre Dame students have begun a “#NotMyCommencementSpeaker” white board campaign to protest the invitation of Vice President Mike Pence to speak at Commencement.

ND traditionally invites the new U.S. President during his first year in office, but chose Pence instead after student preemptively protested the possibility of inviting Donald Trump.

What the hell do these students got to feel unsafe about?

Pence only drinks the blood of virgins.

Oh. Notre Dame. I wish someone would tell the writer they just pissed off an entire state worth of college students. North Dakotans (with the possible exception of a few ninnies in Fargo) are made of sterner stuff.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

'Unsafe' here meaning 'he offends our bigoted liberal snowflake sensbilities, so we must censor him from speaking.'

Good grief.

What are these delicate creatures going to do in the real world. 

I want their names posted in an online database.  Imagine hiring one of them.
