#3This link is a Readability-style view of https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/04/us/chinese-students-weste...

#9China is buying influence Globally as the United States and Europe cede soft power after years of war in the middle east.
While not fantastic for rights of freedom loving people everywhere it is probably a good thing for Africans in general since they seem to be getting a lot of economic love from China in exchange for mineral rights.

#10Israel's been doing this for a long time. Try inviting pro-Palestinian activists to campus and see what happens.
At the end of the day, everyone has the right to protest, whether that's Black Lives Matter or the Westboro Baptist Church or any other group. Always distressing to see it used to further what I see as oppression but there's not really a whole lot to be done about it. You get your opinions and I get mine.
If people want to miss their kids' graduation, well, kinda sucks to be them I guess. Not everybody agrees with their graduation speaker, but you choose to make it political instead of being, you know, about your kids' achievements. I had friends who had George W Bush speak at their graduations, in 2008 no less.
Suck it up for 15 minutes, nobody is forcing you to march in support of some college graduation speaker.
