And of course this year the University invited the Muslim-in-Chief Barack Obama to give the commencement speech...where did you go O-H-I-O?

If he had been the speaker at my graduation, I would not have attended. My commencement speaker was a very famous (white) Democratic member of Congress. And I recall that the black students very deliberately stood up and turned around when he spoke, as a sign of disrespect. It was disgusting.

As disgusting a spectacle as it was, it was overshadowed in my memory by my dad sneaking up into the graduates' section with a movie camera to record the moment, and thus embarrassing me in front of my fellow grads :)

I'd gladly be embarrassed again and again if only he were still around to do it...

Highlights for Children is a key publisher for Common Core materials. Maybe it’s the parent company.

Sad.
