Zero conservatives selected to deliver 2013 commencement speeches at Ivy Leagues

[mota bhai 2,675]

The list of keynote commencement speakers at Ivy League institutions for 2013 does not include a single conservative, a recent study authored by the conservative Young America’s Foundation (YAF) found.

Not one conservative was chosen to deliver a commencement speech at any of the eight Ivy League schools, according to a new study.

Instead seven of the elite schools opted to invite ideological liberal speakers such as media billionaire Oprah Winfrey, Vice President Joe Biden (D), Newark Mayor Cory Booker (D), Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I), among others.

Only Brown University, which chooses a commencement keynote from among its students, did not have a 2013 speaker who is generally associated with the left.

YAF spokesman Adam Tragone told Campus Reform on Tuesday the list appears to reveal a larger trend of liberal bias occurring on these campuses.

“I think it is sort of indicative of the whole way it seems like Ivy Leagues have been treating conservatives as of late,” said Tragone. “With all these sex talks at Yale, it seems like conservative values on these campuses are non-existent.”

Laugh all you want, but this to me is just another sign of how polarized our country is. A plurality of Americans identify as conservative but our elite educational institutions seem to not care for that fact at all.

I think they are seeking for speakers who will inspire the graduates with new ideas and challenging new paradigms and who live in the 21st century, preferably.

You have nothing but contempt for them, I understand. You're nothing but a message board poster.

I would hope our educational institutions would strive to be better than that.

Contempt for whom?

Aren't we all message board posters?

Our elite educational institutions need to move forward if they want to rretain that status. That doesn't go with the backward conservative mindset.
