A story in the Ann Arbor Journal (HT: Above the Law) demonstrates that University of Michigan Law Students know how to protest a commencement speaker in a respectful and appropriate manner. Over a hundred graduating speakers stood up when the speaker (Rob Portman, a UM Law graduate who, as a US Senator, has opposed adoption and marriage privileges for homosexual couples) was announced, and quietly filed out of Hill Auditorium. When he finished speaking, they returned to their seats.
In contrast to those who protested Governor Snyder at the University's undergraduate commencement — either by making loud noises outside the stadium or standing up and turning their backs during the speech — these law students demonstrated class and dignity that will serve them well in their future careers.
Bravo, UM Law.
