I remember the "commencement speech" that I was subjected to in '95 at UMass. It made me sick. If my parents weren't there to watch me get my diploma I would have walked out. First they gave an honorary doctorate to Harry Belafonet which was followed up by a hate-filled speech by Jessye Norman about how evil Newt Gingrich and the Republicans were. This speech lasted for probably half an hour. The only consolation was that my parents got to hear what I was subjected to for the four years I was at college. Prior to that they thought I was exaggerating and my education must have been balanced.
