BYU students protest Cheney commencement plans

PROVO, Utah (AP) -- A growing number of students, faculty and alumni at Brigham Young University are opposing the selection of Vice President Dick Cheney as commencement speaker.Some students plan to boycott graduation April 26, hold alternative ceremonies off campus or publicly protest the speech, said Warner Woodworth, a professor who is organizing a petition drive.Woodworth and others are hoping the school, which is owned by the Mormon church, will drop the invitation or at least bring a Democrat to campus to counter the vice president."Cheney is of such an unsavory character, that he makes his protege, felon Scooter Libby, who was recently convicted of perjury and obstructing justice, seem as pure as a nun," Woodworth said.
Richard Davis, a political-science professor and adviser to college Democrats, said the student group is considering various types of protests but nothing has been decided...........

Having grown up Mormon, I'd be very surprised if the College Democrats at BYU number into the double digits.

Success Warrior grew up in a very similar situation as I did (we even went to church together for a while).

Souls are one thing, but Democrats are evil.

color me evil.
