[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the students' behavior is rude and stupid - and indicative of the entitled attitude permeating among collegr kids (and many on the left, in general).

This was at a Historically-Black College, and the government has invested in them for decades. In fact, Trump just recently signed an agreement giving them more clout. Why bite the hand that feeds you?

Right, they should be so grateful to have her over their own objections.  Who are they to have an opinion about their own commencement ceremony?  Or education?  [/quote]
They don't get to decide who speaks at their commencement - the president does (and did). This type of entitlement is going to bite them in the butt when they get out in the real world, and the boss makes the decisions.

I've worked with new college grads - and they are the worst. Everything is a negotiation with them. When I give directions for a project, explaining the steps to be taken (and why), I am met with a response that they know a better way and want to do it like that. (This from a 22-year-old to her boss with 20 years of experience.) if you don't "give in," they pout - since I suppose they can no linger boo.[/quote]
