Vice President Mike Pence’s scheduled commencement speech at Notre Dame has prompted a protest campaign by seniors who feel “unsafe.”
.
.
.
“For me personally, [Mr. Pence] represents the larger Trump administration,” Ms. Mondane told school’s newspaper, The Observer, on Monday. “His administration represents something, and for many people on our campus, it makes them feel unsafe to have someone who openly is offensive but also demeaning of their humanity and of their life and of their identity.”

Notre Dame has been a cursed institution ever since they honored the vile abortion loving Obama with an honorary degree and had him as their commencement speaker. It has not, nor will it ever, regain its stature.

I can’t imagine anyone I’d find *less* threatening than Vice President Pence.

They’d feel safer with Biden, the Groper?

I would feel more unsafe around Biden. Especially if I was a female and/or under 15.

Dick Allen Notre Dame alumnus led my YAF group to the New York City national convention to draft Barry Goldwater. Now, as David Horowitz told John Batchelor last night, campuses are Communist breeding grounds.

Notre Dame was once knicknamed “The Fighting Irish” and proudly they lived up to the name.
When was it officially changed to “The Whining Irish?”
How far will they sink?

I’ve seen movies where people literally melt/disintegrate/burst-into-flames/die simply by being in the vicinity of religious symbols/figures/believers.

I think those movies are made up, but maybe these people have a legitimate concern. Or maybe they have no logical defense for their position and feel the best action is to shut down anyone who disagrees with them.

The Democrap leadership in DC and local is responsible for the mental health of these snowflakes, not to mention their deranged “professors” themselves.

The Democrap society has created an entire generation of unstable, irresponsible loons.

Is there an over/under on how many days until Notre Dame caves in to snowflake demands?

Just another example of how far the culture has swung left. I agree with Horowitz that the colleges have become breeding grounds for young communists. I hope Trump and Pence can somehow make a dent in the left's control of our educational system, from head start, preschool, K-12, college, university and graduate schools.

First order of business is get rid of Common Core and education decisions back to the states. Then, somehow, get a semblance of religion back in the schools. . just basic 10 Commandments, right and wrong, do unto others. . What's wrong with that?

If people do not have a Judeo/Christian background they will find a religion. . drugs, addiction and government as their savior.

Instead, mentally unstable youngsters are being coddled and treated like mental patients who may snap at any moment.

The left has shifted tactics and weaponized the Alt/Left Millennial in a culture war and for all intents and purposes a civil war. They are very mentally unstable.
