Disrespect of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Graduates
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was the guest speaker at Santa Monica Community College yesterday where the audience included some very rude protestors. The college is reported to primarily enroll lower income students and has recently raised tuition due to budget cuts under Gov. Schwarzenegger's short time in office. The governor is also pushing for a special election for a ballot that would give some unions the short end of the stick if it passes.
The speech yesterday was not well received by some in the audience including some of the faculty. There were some very rude gestures from some members of the audience holding up signs and booing as the governor spoke.
This type of activity from those who disagree with Gov. Schwarzenegger was done in poor taste in the wrong forum. This was a time to celebrate the accomplishments of the graduates. This was not a time to grind an ax over political disagreements.
These bully tactics from those opposing Gov. Schwarzenegger will not gain respect from conservatives. If they can't come up with a better answer to complex problems they resort to bashing those who do have a plan. Governor Schwarzenegger is doing what he thinks is best for the state of California. Those who believe his ideas are wrong should gather their friends and visit the polls on November 8th. These tactics of booing and protesting will not gain the respect of people who are looking for answers. What will gain their respect is another good idea.
