Imagine the excitement of graduating college and having Jerry Seinfeld as your commencement speaker. For most Duke graduates, it was an incredible moment. However, some chose to walk out during his address simply because he is a Jewish comedian. This protest was ironic, as they missed a unique opportunity to hear from a famous actor critical of left-wing, politically correct nonsense.
The majority of students cheered for Seinfeld. Walking out on such an event was seen by many as silly and disrespectful. Even if you don’t find him funny, it’s important to respect your college and fellow graduates. Graduation is a celebration for everyone, not just a small group of protesters.
By walking out, the protesters not only ruined their own experience but also disrupted the ceremony for others. All because they didn’t like the speaker? After years of hard work, the least they could do is stay for an hour and contribute to making the ceremony special for everyone.
(VIDEO) Courageous Arizona Law Enforcement Officer Paralyzed in Line of Duty Stands Tall for National Anthem
In Peoria, Arizona, a remarkable moment unfolded as Investigator William “Bill” Weigt, paralyzed in the line of duty fourteen years ago, stood for the national anthem with the aid of a state-of-the-art wheelchair.
A heartwarming image circulated on Facebook captured Weigt presenting the American flag at the Arizona Special Olympics, stirring up emotions across the nation, as reported by Today.
“After 14 years, I’ve longed to stand for the national anthem,” shared Weigt with Today. “Initially overwhelming, it was incredibly exhilarating.”
Weigt’s life changed in 2005 when he was shot during a suspect pursuit, resulting in paralysis. As a former infantry soldier in the United States, the opportunity to ‘finally’ stand for the flag held profound significance for him, he expressed to KPHO.
