You're equating someone who cares about women's health with...a satanist?

Go f yourself.


The point here it's a private Catholic college they can hire who they see fits best and an abortion person doesn't work for them. However abortioner is a better fit for a private liberal arts college that is non religious affiliated.


The point is you’re a forced birther who equates people who care about women’s health with satanists.

Go f yourself.

And the incorrect comment was: “hasn’t invited conservative speakers for decades“

But keep trying to move those goalposts.

Why does the political background of a commencement speaker matter? Most are moderates. I neither want a republican to tell my kid that college is a complete waste of money and time (as almost all of them believe), nor a crazed leftist. Almost every commencement speaker is in between.

Do you have conservatives in mind? Most of the professionals invited for commencement aren't exactly paths conservatives want to take: Animal rights advocates, environmental activists, academics and presidents of colleges, human rights advocates, children's rights lawyers, artists, actors, etc. I guess CMC did have the ex prime minister of the UK Rishi Sunak, but only because his wife Akshata Murty attended and they're big donors. Why would liberal arts colleges just invite a bunch of corporate executives and republican justices that aren't doing any philanthropic work. It's just kinda useless to throw up a tech CEO.

I'll also add that even CMC emphasized Sunak's recent work with the Richmond Project, a charity him and his wife created to improve British numeracy and financial literacy. Commencement speakers should, you know, be people who help communities and give back.

Why would they? No one likes amoral a-holes.

Despite that, elite liberal coastal universities have had conservatives speakers in the last few decades.

Well for the ivies, any top college with a law school has FedSoc speakers infesting the place 24/7.
Wesleyan just had this event: A Conversation with Cornel West and Robert P. George Friday, March 27, 2026; Robert P George is a professor at Princeton and "was an influential opponent of Roe v. Wade and same-sex marriage, and received a Presidential medal from George W. Bush."
Swarthmore has constitution day and they chose Stephanos Bibas as a speaker, who was appointed by Donald Trump as a Judge in the Court of Appeals, (https://www.swarthmore.edu/political-science/constitution-day-lecture) . Tim Hall sadly passed away, but he was a professor at Vassar. Wesleyan has invested in an affirmative action program for conservative faculty.

Here's the thing though: there's very few departments where this explicitly is a "thing"-political science, Econ, and maybe sociology/anthropology are where you're going to see titles of "Conservative" and "liberal." Many philosophy faculty are pretty damned "conservative" in how they approach argumentation and the tradition, but that doesn't really change the value of reasoning above all. I don't think it's that productive to have trump cabinet members of the Dinesh D'Souza's of the world walking around college campuses, as people rage on about for whatever reason. Much of political science is about data analysis over pet political theories. Over ideologizing academic subjects is the bigger issue.
