‘Not My Jesus’: Christian Students Protest Pence, Alarming Conservatives
Vice President Pence, an evangelical Christian, has imparted graduation advice to a narrow slice of American students — those gaining degrees from religious colleges and military academies.
Since his inauguration as President Trump’s No. 2 in January 2017, he has addressed graduating seniors at Notre Dame, Hillsdale College in Michigan, Grove City College in Pennsylvania, the Coast Guard Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy.
Carefully screening his audiences has not inoculated Pence from backlash, however. Two years ago in South Bend, Ind., more than 100 students of a few thousand earning degrees from Notre Dame walked out as the vice president began to speak.
