Imagine graduating from college and having Jerry Seinfeld as your commencement speaker. For most Duke graduates, it was an amazing moment. However, some students walked out during his speech. They protested because he is a Jewish comedian, which they found offensive.
Most students, however, cheered for Seinfeld. Many thought walking out was unnecessary and disrespectful. Even if you don’t find him funny, it’s important to respect your college and fellow graduates. Graduation is a celebration for everyone, not just for those who choose to protest, even if they are a larger group.
