This is the same College that gave Obama an honorary doctorate

When Vice President Mike Pence delivers the commencement speech at Notre Dame on Sunday, he'll likely speak to fewer people than he expected.
Some students at the Catholic university plan to walk out of the speech as part of a protest against Pence and his policies, which they say target marginalized people on the basis of their religion, skin color or sexual orientation, according to the student activist group We Stand For.
Luis Miranda, a co-organizer of the walkout, said Pence, as Indiana governor and as vice president, targeted vulnerable people with his policies. Catholic values promote standing up for the poor and marginalized, so he plans to stand up on Sunday, literally.
Miranda said some of his family members are undocumented immigrants and have felt under siege by the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration. "They are going to be in the audience in one of the most important moments of my life with someone targeting them for who they are," he said.
The plan, according to a Facebook event, is to stand up when Pence begins speaking, walk toward the exit quietly, and, of course, live tweet the protest under the #WalkoutND hashtag.
As of Thursday afternoon, about 75 people had signed up to participate in the walkout.
"This is not just about the numbers, but about standing up for truth," Miranda said. "We feel that there is power in truth and hopefully there will be power in numbers that come stand up with us."

Have a nice day, Luis.
Let em walk.
It’s their loss, not ours.
Some of those poor & “marginalized” appear to be those granted special privileges in recent years to flaunt their contempt for Biblical values. Of course that would not offend CNN. But CNN does not define Western values or standards—except by its consistent contempt.
“This is not just about the numbers, but about standing up for truth,” Miranda said. “We feel that there is power in truth and hopefully there will be power in numbers that come stand up with us.”
What a retart wants. What a retart needs.
Has anyone told this nut-job he has a right to remain silent?
You’d think I guy named Miranda would know this.
“The plan, according to a Facebook event, is to stand up when Pence begins speaking, walk toward the exit quietly, and, of course, live tweet the protest under the #WalkoutND hashtag.”

By all means, have all those “undocumented” immigrants tweet up a storm.
Remember when that one person who had killed someone had his cell phone on and the police were able to track him and arrest him?
Actually, I just looked it up. There are many of them:

There truly is no privacy anymore. Unless you make the choice to have it.
The only plus is when a victim has a cell phone and is somehow able to call the police/be found.
Because tantrums are all Millennial snowflakes know.

LOL!!!
Now it’s all over the Internet. ;)
I would love to see a gang of “undocumented” Notre Dame students crash the ceremony and cheer wildly for Pence. I wonder how long university officials would tolerate uncredentialed personnel attending their events?
“:^)
Mail them their diplomas.
In whatever country they self-deported themselves to.
Yet another reason why I take great joy every time Notre Dame loses a football game.
Hope there’s video, and later a list published of ND graduates to NEVER hire for an adult job.
Time for those of us who work and pay taxes to walk out on any government funds, loans, etc to Notre Dame.
NUTHIN’ grand abou’cha’ no mo’ !
And boycott NBC until they drop Notre Dame football.
And, when they come to pick up their diplomas later, have a waiting ICE agent put them in cuffs, and escort them to the border.
