While she is entitled to her opinion, a high school or college graduation is not the proper place to express political opinions.

You have to realize that for this particular Kalifornia Kollege, these poor graduates have been brain-washed with the liberal agenda for at least the last 4 years. She thought she was just giving them some last minute reinforcement.

Well, of course it is california so I don't know what else to expect. I guess some people are poltical junkies just like me. I just wouldn't say anything political in any kind of commencement speech I was invited to give.

As to post number 7, I would submit that this was indeed a liberal speech. It may not sound liberal to you but a lot of us know which is liberal and which isn't. I've been researching politics for the last several years and I know more than anyone when it's liberal and it's conservative.

What you're going to have to realize is that this kind of opinion is just not as popular as some would like to think. You just don't give people civis lessons in commencement speeches. Once these kidsreach the point of graduration, the time for lecturing them on poltical matters is over. Nobody wants to lectured on goverment policy and political matters and I still feel this kind of lecturing by Ms. Besler was just not appropaite for a commencement speech. Sorry, Joe but I must call your wrong in that regard.

Bump for more responses.
