It doesn’t? Well, that depends. As Twitchy reported, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced she will not speak at Rutgers’ commencement ceremony after sit-ins and other protests by students and faculty against the “war criminal” became a distraction.
However, support of the Iraq war doesn’t seem to have precluded a certain New York senator who voted for the war from speaking at Rutgers in 2007. Legal Insurrection takes a look at another speaker who wasn’t bullied out of her appearance.
@EricBoehlert Does that apply to Hillary?

The ban on allowing Iraq war supporters to speak applies to Hillary Clinton, right?

Apparently not.

@redsteeze Hey, I just figured it out. Iraq is Hillary's only accomplishment.

"Supporting the Iraq War is unforgivable & beyond the pale. Oh & please vote Hillary in 2016!"

Does this come as a surprise to anyone?
Rutgers is doing what hermetic, unaccountable, taxpayer-funded liberal bastions do; scream "shut up" at anyone with differing views.
