Ivanka Trump condemned “cancel culture” in a tweet published on Friday after Wichita State University revoked its invitation for her to speak at the school’s spring commencement ceremony.
According to a report by the New York Post, Ivanka Trump is speaking out after being disinvited from Wichita State University’s spring commencement ceremony. Trump shared her pre-recorded commencement remarks with her social media followers on Friday.
“Our nation’s campuses should be bastions of free speech. Cancel culture and viewpoint discrimination are antithetical to academia,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Listening to one another is important now more than ever!”
Here is the message I recorded on May 18th for the Graduates of WSU-Tech. I know that all of these talented graduates will dream big and aspire to make the world a better place!— Ivanka Trump (@IvankaTrump) June 5, 2020
“I know that all of these talented graduates will dream big and aspire to make the world a better place!” she added.
Students and faculty began their protest effort shortly after the university announced that Ivanka Trump had been selected as this spring’s commencement speaker. In a petition letter, Professor Jennifer Ray argued that the Trump administration represents the “worst of our country.”

That's Progressive.
Ping!
How much federal funding does Wichita State University receive?
After seeing what all these colleges are like it makes me glad to be an uneducated deplorable.
Every university is heavily dependent on federally insured student loans.
That program was destined to cause nothing but leftist trouble from day one.
Javanka needs to get it in their thick liberal skulls that they will never be accepted again by the liberals and socialists that they usually run with.
Any more universities aka the late institutes of higher learning won’t tolerate anyone who might be an antidote to their poison.
I’m Shocked...
Maybe she’s finally getting an ‘education’ after all.
Did they even know what her theme would be?
I wish her open borders traitor husband were cancelled from his White House job
I see what you did there!
Maybe they should read this before canceling Dainelys Hidalgo-Escobar https://www.houstoncourant.com/houston-voices/2020/the-chauvin-floyd-affair
Ivanka giving speeches on success? Oh dear...
“cancel culture”Good one!
Is WSU having a commencement ceremony? My kid went there and got an aerospace engineering degree. Great school. Sorry they made this egregious error.
Welcome to the party, pal!
A little late.
“Every university is heavily dependent on federally insured student loans.”
I guess some aren’t. We’re hoping our nephew will look at Hillsdale, Grove City, or Bob Jones. I believe all of them refuse federal money.
I can absolutely confirm that about Hillsdale and Grove City. Not certain about Bob Jones.
