Of course, yes. I don’t think there’s any problem with a mandatory event that exposes students to different viewpoints. The only problem I have (and its a mild one at that - certainly wouldn’t call it Nazi-like, like the other poster here) is that the mandatory event was used, essentially, as a campaign rally.
I get that...I do....but every speaker has an agenda - and I’m sure a lot of them are political agendas. The school has an agenda. Setting whether you want to vote for Cruz aside, there is nothing he said that should offend anyone attending Liberty. If he did, then that’s a student that has more problems in this school than one convocation.
