Ivanka Trump condemns ‘cancel culture’ after WSU Tech cancels her commencement speech...

Ivanka Trump called Wichita State University and WSU Tech’s decision to cancel her commencement speech “antithetical to academia” after the schools canceled her speech amid criticism of the White House’s response to protests against racist policing.

WSU Tech, a Wichita State-affiliated technical training school, announced Thursday that Trump would deliver a commencement speech to graduates Saturday afternoon during a virtual graduation ceremony for the school’s 750-plus graduates. After backlash from Wichita State faculty, students and alumni, the two institutions released a joint statement late Thursday canceling Trump’s speech.

“To our students of color, and to me, inviting Ivanka Trump to speak right now sends the message that WSU Tech does not take diversity seriously,” Ray wrote.

“Ivanka Trump, obviously, represents her father’s administration as one of his closest advisors,” she wrote. “To many Americans, that administration has come to signify the worst of our country, particularly in its recent actions toward those peacefully protesting against racist police brutality. This is not about politics and policy; some of the sharpest critiques of President Trump’s actions come from prominent members of his own party, from figures like former Defense Secretary James Mattis and President George W. Bush.”

Jennifer Ray is an associate professor... "Does not take diversity seriously"...What is she talking about? Surrendering to liberal pressure?

Professor, what are you accusing the President of doing? She is talking about the walk to the church...She is repeating the nonsense...The "protesters" refused to follow the directions of the Park Police...Then some of them threw objects at the Park Police... Professor, don't tell me that it is not about politics...Don't cite Mr. Mattis as the proof that you are nonpartisan... You are a liberal who does not like President...

WSU tech president apologized for scheduling Ivanka's speech...

Kansas is not a liberal state in my opinion...Political correctness is everywhere...

I could see doing something as insulting as that by Kansas University (Uber liberal but then they would have never invited her in the first place) but WSU - incredible!

No kidding. WSU still honors the flag and the military at their graduation ceremonies. At least they did with the previous president John Bardo. Maybe it’s different with the new guy.

We’re the “Silenced Majority”. now.

Media controls the public square, and obeys those who it derives the most revenue from.

The response was written by an “Associate Professor?

What’s up with that? Has the virus caused staff cuts down that far that the “Shockers” can no longer have a President?

WSU does not take diversity of opinion seriously.

Liberal Arts degrees should be abolished in the US. Science and engineering only, otherwise trade schools.

You want an art degree? Psychology? Law? Go outside the US, and send the commie indoctrinating professors out too.

If they get any federal money - grants, loans, etc., DEFUND them on the grounds that they violate the First Amendment and violate the principles of open discussions and debates.

The Left is applying full court pressure and it is plain sick and based on lies and deception. No lie is too big to tell. If you ask the average person who is inciting violence, they'll tell you it is white supremacists. They heard it on CNN and Fox News. No mention of Antifa. And BLM? They are saints and we should kneel to honor and respect them.

Things are bad now, but will be getting much worse over the summer.

Ivanka, a cause-celebrity is getting a real world tutorial on the exact means and method used against things that are ‘right’... It must sting to see the dark side of liberalism in direct sunlight.

It's all good.

These fake "education" mills are all going out of business with the Covid.
