I know someone who is graduating and is going to be at that ceremony. He's Catholic and feels that his views of anti-war (that are Pope blessed) gives him the right to protest at his Jesuit Catholic school. More power to him. Contributing factors to this is that no one asked the students who they wanted at their own commencement and that Bono was initially supposed to be booked for the speech but prior committments took him out of the running.
Despite that, students are not allowed signs, shirts or any kind of visible words of protest to be displayed anywhere. (Even words on the top of their caps are not allowed.) Talk about not being able to present another point of view...
I disagree with Euromeinke. Moxie is defined as skill and 'know how'. Rice was our National Security Advisor when we were attacked. Her 'historical document' comment is legendary. She pushed for the failed war in Iraq. I have never trusted her abilities and have been proven right time and time again with her buffoonery and participation in the worst administration of our country's history.
My advice to the student, who asked me about what to do at his commencement as a protest, was to turn his back on Rice. It's not a boo, it's not heckling, it's not a written protest sign, but it is a definite statement. I don't know if they'll do it. But I feel they should plan something and have every right to do so.
There are two degrees of separation between Rice and myself. She's an idiot.
