I’ve got no problem with Bristol Palin.
I do have a problem with the kind of “student fees” behind this fiasco - they’re routinely assessed of all students across the board at most universities, and then “student activity boards” (run by typical student government-type tools) and / or administrative committees dole out the accumulated money to all sorts of speakers and entertainers, as well as favored student activity groups.
If you’re a student, you’re generally forced to pay for this stuff, even if you think it’s mostly crap (which it often is). Let the lousy student organizations collect money from their own members, invite whom they please, and leave everybody else alone.
I’ll bet they have spent student fees on a lot worse items than a Bristol Palin speech...
I agree.
Many Florida State students objected to their fees going to William Ayers’ speaking engagement but they were told, “Too bad.”
