<p>um coffeeannabor, there are certain repercussions that arise out of taking a course of action. This “reality show star” thought he was qualified, as a guest lecturer, to speak before an intellectual group in an intellectual setting. If you can’t handle the heat, get out of the kitchen. The fact that I find it fitting that he was stumped is probably the same thing the student was probably after. There is obviously much to be inferred when an audience member or student OPENLY CHALLENGES you. It speaks to the lack of respect, and likely the disgust, that many hold for this farce of an event. Just because a student or professor proposes an appearance as some kind of misguided attempt at diversity does not make it a good idea. Well-intentioned, but not good. I am 100% certain that had the guest speaker been a respected member of some community or even a celebrity with a credible agenda to help people, that person’s appearance would not be resented, and he wouldn’t be “put on the spot.” How does this person make a concerted effort to help the “bullied” community? Where are his advocacy groups? I rest my case.</p>
