[excerpt]

Dozens of students staged a walk-out at Notre Dame’s commencement yesterday as Mike Pence took the podium to deliver the keynote address.

The walk-out was organized by the group We Stand For Notre Dame, which argued that graduating seniors should join the protest to stand up for marginalized and minority students on campus.

“Far too many campuses across America have become characterized by...suppression of the freedom of speech.”   

“We invite all students, faculty, and families who will be attending the Commencement ceremony to walk out with us,” said the protest page, noting that the group hopes to “take back” graduation by taking a stand against Mike Pence as the honored speaker.

My 'Viking Hunter' High Adventure Alternate History Series is FREE, ALL 3 volumes, at most ebook retailers including Ibooks, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and more.

In Vol 2 the weapons come out in a winner take all war on two fronts.

Vol 3 opens with the rigged murder trial of the villain in a Viking Court under Viking law to set the stage for the hero's own murder trial.

What do you want to bet they'll sue the school for not being able to walk across the stage and get their diploma.
Fools mock, tongues wag, babies cry and goats bleat.

As they damned well should have been!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
