Isn't Butler the school that disinvited Chief Justice Roberts? I'll be rooting for Duke.

Just to correct the record, no, Justice Roberts wasn’t “disinvited.” The student body had petitioned to have him speak at the commencement because his niece was graduating. The faculty board nixed the idea. It was, imho, a very wrong-headed application of the school’s no-politics policy for commencement speakers. But at least they’re consistent, with the only politically oriented commencement speakers being the state’s governors (one D and one R), and their speeches were reportedly not political.

Duke, on the other hand, is rabidly left by comparison.
If you’re going to base your fan loyalty on a faculty’s support for or assault on conservatism, then Duke is hardly the better alternative. They’re filthy with leftist professors, terrorist sympathizers, and have a nasty, anti-American bent in their coursework, day in and day out. Their official behavior during the bogus lacrosse case, railroading innocent students for heinous crimes, was outrageous, and alone qualifies the school for disdain, imho.

I didn’t know that about Justice Roberts, but if that’s the case...I hope DUKE beats their pants off and wipes the floor with their shorts!
