@XBillups @ijbailey @JamesSurowiecki No, it's getting traction because it's noteworthy that the newspaper at a major public university thinks Mike Pence, a former VP, is beyond the pale as a speaker and literally threatens the lives of students. *That* is what people are focusing on, not the also true fact — PolitiTweet.org

@jesseclain @JamesSurowiecki @ijbailey The rights of other students are implicated when they are the ones who've extended an invite and are planning an event. Asking administrators to side against them is objectionable in a way *we don't like the commencement speaker our president picked* (say) would not be. — PolitiTweet.org
