(CNN) -- Condoleezza Rice, former US secretary of state announced on Facebook Saturday that she would not be speaking at the Rutgers University commencement this year, following student protests against her appearance.
The students made accusations against her in connection with the war in Iraq.
"Commencement should be a time of joyous celebration for the graduates and their families," Rice wrote.
"Rutgers' invitation to me to speak has become a distraction for the university community at this very special time."
In an open letter to the president of the school, printed in the student paper The Daily Targum on April 30th, "Rutgers Student Protestors" cited "destruction" in Iraq "at the hands of the Bush administration."

( Though they DID pay for Snooki to speak at their esteemed university, so that should tell you all you need to know about New Jersey. )

This has nothing to do with Rice being a women, nor anything to do with freedom of speech.

So, rappy - once again - shows that free speech means it goes one way - people's opinions are verboten if they disagree with his own. Also, he seems to really dislike people expressing themselves democratically.

Oh sure. When conservatives voice differing opinions of a black person, or a woman, it's racist, or misogynistic. When the LEFT does it, hell no, there's not a smidgen of racism or war on women, at all.

Yeah. A bunch of Left wing professors didn't want the first black SecState to give the commencement speech at their school. So what? Just because they vote on it doesn't mean the University is bound by that vote, does it ?

If the GOVERNOR of the state stood at the front door and tried to block her entrance, would you be on board w/ that too ?

Sounds like both freedom of speech and democracy. Apparently rappy has a problem with both.

---

Actually, I have a problem with neither. The problem I DO have is when a small ,angry mob tries to shout out speech with which they disagree. Extremely anti-American.

Students protested against her speaking there. No one protested for.
And finally - Rutgers didn't forbid Rice from speaking - she withdrew.

---

And yes, she withdrew. It's called being classy, and not submitting herself to the lowest common denominator, the rabble and losers.

Once again, you lie and distort the issue. The only thing that's verboten by the Left is actual tolerance.

The 'democracy' of which you speak was actually just mob rule. Seems you and the 99% Occubabies are down w/ that.
