Of course they have s right to do so. Just curious what my more liberal friends in the forum think of this move.

Personal choice, I guess. I would not have done it.

I don't like normalizing the Trump regime. And walking out is "resistance." I guess.

But NOT LISTENING is almost always bad.

People should protest the invite--there are plenty of good grounds for that as the Pence/Trump ticket is no friend to learning--or criticize Pence afterwards in the student paper's forum. If they were going to walk out, they should not have shown up. That would have sent a signal to the administration. With them lies the responsibility for the poor choice.
