Commencement

Like I said, the tensions will continue to simmer.  After the conflict between The Black Lives Matter group and the Patriots, the BLM folks demanded that the president of the university say in his commencement speech that black lives matter.  This student was putting pressure on the prez and he did not sit down until the president said that black lives matter.  The president did eventually say it. Sort of.  He said black lives matter, women's lives matter, veterans lives matter, ALL LIVES MATTER-- ultimately watering down the message.  As Baltimore was burning, he had an opportunity to speak to the issue of the moment.  As far as I'm concerned, he took the easy way out.





Next year should be interesting.
