Congrats to your whole family. Your niece sounds like a very level headed young lady.

It's just too bad in situations like you experienced at a graduation or other event that decorum prevails and most folks stay thru the drivel and vitriol. If more people listened to their concience and just got up and left when these "leaders" started spouting off the speakers would realize that their opinions aren't as accepted as they think they are. Because you know if it had been a conservative speaker there would have been heckling and yelling. I guess conservatives are more tolerant of opposing views??

Sorry for the rant. Again, congrats to your neice. Awesome accomplishment.
