A liberal-arts college in Vermont decided it would make some waves by selecting a murderous jailbird as its commencement speaker. Goddard College announced Monday that alumnus Mumia Abu-Jamal, Class of '96, was selected by the Fall class of 2014 to speak at commencement this Saturday. Abu-Jamal will make his virtual appearance in a video address to Goddard's fall graduating class on Sunday October 5 along filmmaker Steven Vittoria, who filmed a documentary about Abu-Jamal in 2012. But if you're worried that this will be one of the only commencement speeches you'll find at Goddard- don't worry- the college hosts 20 different commencement ceremonies every year.

Cop killer speaking isn't an inherently bad thing. Has he changed in prison?
My highschool had probably 3 guys who'd murdered someone or committed rape come talk to us and they were really inspirational and moving.

There are certain things in society that act as good utter stupidity litmus tests. People who glum on to this Mumia guy as some sort of great cause celebre are certainly one of those.

More evidence that spending at 'higher education institutions' is out of control

Listened to a representative from Goddard address the issue the other night. Don't believe I'll be hiring any Goddard grads anytime soon. Goofy fella.

As long as it's not Condoleezza Rice.

You think because someone has committed a grievous act he can no longer contribute anything positive to anyone, ever? Jesus is giving you a thumbs down right now.

I don't like Hitler, but Mein Kempf is still an interesting read, not that I agree with it.
