The Commencement #1
from The Parent/Teacher Conference Hosted by Coach Cullen
If you went to college, do you remember the name of the person who gave the commencement speech? Do you remember the topic? I, like millions of others have forgotten, but this year, graduates of two colleges will never forget. 1st in a two part series, Coach talks about the commencement speech of Harrison Butker, the place kicker of the Kansas City Chiefs, at a small Catholic college in Kansas and how what he said was twisted to demonize him, even getting the NFL to denounce him. Coach reads to you the "offensive" parts of the speech and offers other information that points to Butler's intent, to raise the profile of Mothers and Wives as worthy pursuits. Butker's Commencement Speech at Benedictine College Coach provides a defense for Butler's view from unlikely sources who actually disagree with him (Whoopi Goldberg and Bill Maher) and are willing to expose the hypocrisy of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Also, the actions of those in the news media to make a non-story into a story and how students need to learn that in any course on media literacy.NPR article on Melissa Kearney's book: The Two Parent Privilege: How Americans Stopped Getting Married and Started Falling Behind.
