Nerd News: Rutgers Beclowns Itself
So Condoleezza Rice won't be the Commencement speaker at Rutgers after all because too many people there don't want to hear her. You know, it's embarrassing that an institution of higher education that supposedly prides itself on the free and open discourse and debate of ideas can do this to the country's first black female Secretary of State and still pat itself on the back for being oh-so-enlightened and progressive. Rice was the most powerful woman in the US during her time in office. If she hadn't been in a Republican administration, colleges and universities across the country would have canonized her by now.

What Rice should have done was given a speech upholding the Iraq enforcement and peace-building mission and tying it into the commencement occasion by citing it as a historical example of leadership of the harder right instead of the easier wrong. (I would suggest she use the structure from my OIF 10th anniversary post.) Instead, Rice validated the campus radical leftists and their false narrative of the Iraq mission.
Surrendering to the left's frame on the Iraq mission has been an on-going debilitating error by Republicans.
