Love all variations of this quote, but Churchill didn't say it. I was sad when I found that out too.


Well shite.

Guess I’ll just attribute it to myself from now on.

The school itself needs to flat out say, this will not get political.

If you choose to do so, the mic will get silenced and we will proceed with the ceremony without the speech.


I suspect that if her speech was pro ICE/Trump they would have followed this advice.

Meanwhile, at NYU the students are revolting because a free speech advocate was chosen as the graduation speaker.

I know we call them Dims for a reason but it's ridiculous they can't tell the difference from legal and illegal immigration

But, what can you do. They're a cult.

Hopefully we can get rid of birthright citizenship and deport her.

(Deport her family as a unit, so we help to keep them together!)

I've talked to the kids I have here, and told them in no such case should they destroy everyone else's celebration with narcissistic opinions.

Every good parent should.

Saw one last night where the young lady blasted immigration policy and said she was not proud to be an American.

She said her parents were immigrants.

Also low key called the community and school a bunch of racists.

Time and place, people….


You're shocked that this is what's colleges are turning out?

School had no balls for not cutting the mic, and kicking her of stage.

Hiring managers beware, This is the nutjob you're potentially hiring and it aint going to get any better, She'll be dragging your company through the mud before long.

I was at a graduation ceremony for an art college in NYC 2 years ago, the graduation was held in the tennis stadium for the US Open.

The valedictorian entire speech was bashing Israel and supporting Palestine. Finally, this young Jew next to me stood up and screamed “ Shut the f*ck up” so loud the entire stadium heard

It was one of the most incredible and awkward moments of my life. He got booed out of the stadium

Wrongggg as usual. The purpose of her or any valedictorian speech is to be uplifting and to inspire her fellow graduates. That’s it. Simple.

The majority of the kids in my kids' high school appear to be pretty MAGA. So I guess they're doing a good job. All the bleeding heart kids like the ones giving this speech will either be working for the MAGA kids in O&G or the like, or they'll be teachers/professors bitching about how they're broke.

with time, and tax paying employment, she may look back and cringe at that moment.
