I'm really sorry that the commencement had to be marred by the most pro-abort president in history speaking at, and receiving a degree from, a 'supposed to be Catholic' university.For most college seniors, the final weeks leading up to their commencement are filled with light-hearted fun, sentimental good-byes and the rush to finalize plans for the next chapter of their lives. The graduating seniors of the University of Notre Dame have experienced these and so much more as their college careers have drawn to a close. As one senior explained, “Things definitely have been much more different that I would ever have expected it to be.”
On March 20, 2009, the University of Notre Dame announced that President Barack H. Obama would be the principle speaker at the school’s 164th commencement ceremony and would receive an honorary Doctorate of Laws degree on the occasion. In the ensuing weeks, the school’s campus has become an epicenter of political, religious, and social debate and uproar. Though commencement lies at the core of the current controversy, those whom the commencement should celebrate—the graduates—have been largely overlooked in midst of the present storm.
