FULL TITLE: Dozens of students walk out of graduation ceremony in protest moments before Vice President Mike Pence delivers commencement speech at Christian school Taylor University
Dozens of Indiana college students walked out of Vice President Mike Pence's commencement speech at Taylor University's graduation ceremony this weekend.
Moments before Pence took to the podium at the Christian school's graduation ceremony in his home state of Indiana on Saturday, dozens of students walked out in protest.
While a majority of the faculty and class of 494 students remained seated for the speech, many wore stickers on their caps saying 'We are Taylor too', as their form of silent protest and to support marginalized people hurt by the Trump administration.
'I think his presence makes it difficult for everyone at Taylor to feel welcomed, ' student Laura Rathburn, who walked out during Pence's speech and decorated her cap in rainbow colors with the message 'Ally Visible for Those Who Can't Be', said to the Indy Star.
'For me personally, I think we should identify as Christians first before we have political ties,' student Katie Tupper said on wearing the sticker. 'That might not be a good choice for everyone but I think that we struggle a lot at Taylor in trying not to raise our political views. ... The purpose of this is to recognize that we're all a part of Taylor.'
The 59-year-old conservative urged the graduates to hold on to their religious resolve, praised Trump's administration and touted the promising job market and low unemployment rate.

So a few boors made a scene. What should anyone care and why does this rate a national story? Yawn.
Dozens = 12 x more than 1
all public education needs to be defunded by fedgov.
The snowflakes melted away...leaving only ephemeral damp spots to mark where they had been.
Christians don't support abortion, faggotry, or sexual mutilation.
And we all know that when you idiots talk about "marginalized people", you're talking about people who center their lives around sexual perversion, people who mutilate their genitals, and people who insist on committing abortion.
Students trying to be significant.
Instead sticking out as losers.
Illegal invaders and tax cheats are also “marginalized people”.
don’t they know that envying your neighbor’s property is up there there with lusting after your neighbor’s wife and theft?
Education has been a Democrat propaganda and money laundering operation for decades.
Dozens...? Really, the headline should read: ‘Less than 100 MORONS walked out because they are liberals and hate Mike Pence.’
Thanks for explaining this place to me. By those graduation hats was wondering what they taught there. Yea you always do get some bad seeds I guess.
