Do you think it would be an incredible experience? 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.
Jerry Seinfeld is a name that every comedy lover knows and admires. Most students at the Duke graduation ceremony cheered for him. I mean, come on, it’s Seinfeld! This guy is cool. Walking out on that was just silly.
Even if you don’t find him funny, it’s important to respect your college and fellow graduates. We shouldn’t be selfish and disrupt the graduation just because we don’t like the speaker. Graduation is a celebration for everyone present, 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. And all because they didn’t like the speaker? They worked hard for years to earn their degree, so the least they could do is stick it out for an hour and contribute to making the ceremony special for everyone.
Let’s strive to do better and show respect for others, even when we may not agree with them. It’s important to keep an open mind and appreciate the diverse perspectives and experiences that our speakers bring to the table. After all, it’s in these moments of diversity that we grow and learn as individuals. So, let’s celebrate our accomplishments together and embrace the joyous occasion that graduation brings.
