College graduate? “Speach?” Is that a southern peach?

Boortz never gave this speech to anyone.

He wrote it, but it is a fictitious "speech."

It wasn’t a real speech - he wrote it and published it in a book. He said no one ever invited to speak at a Commencement either, and probably never will.

This address was NOT given at Texas A&M, or any other college or university. Here's some words from Neals' own website:

The Neal Boortz Commencement Speech:

No, this speech has never been delivered at a college or a university. It was written to protest the fact that such an invitation has never been offered! It has only been delivered on my radio show, printed in my book "The Terrible Truth About Liberals" and produced on a limited edition CD. The irony is that this commencement speech has been more widely distributed, and has been the subject of more comment than any commencement speech that actually has been delivered at any college or university in the past 50 years.

" This gowned gaggle behind me is your faculty. You've heard the old saying that those who can - do. Those who can't - teach."

This statement may ring true for MANY educators, however, such a blanket statement like this smacks of over-generalization and marginalization of people who perform a noble and invaluable service to our society. Aside from this comment, the rest of the article is spot-on!
