A Commencement Address

When someone utters the immortal, "truth is stranger than fiction," they often aren't kidding.

Imagine this. An ambassador from a beleaguered and reviled country is invited to give the commencement address to the students at a prestigious university. Rather than being met with contemptuous silence at best, the ambassador is met with protest signs from students attempting to block his right to be heard.

These are the same humanoids who moan and groan whenever they think that someone is stepping on the toes of their free speech and civil liberties. Yet they deny it to others. But really, what's the worst that could happen at the commencement address? That they would see things differently or learn something new?

Unfortunately, it isn't the plot to the latest Tim Burton movie. It's happening here and now at Brandeis University of all places. To sign the petition to allow Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren to give this year's commencement address, click here.
