Butler University Deems Chief Justice Roberts Too Controversial for Commencement Address

Fox News reports:When John Roberts' niece graduates in May from Butler University this May, the Supreme Court chief justice may attend as a relative — but he has been deemed too controversial to take the stage as commencement speaker.

University faculty members scuttled a student-led drive to invite Roberts to speak at the May 8 ceremony, a decision that has disappointed the students and some conservatives on the Indianapolis campus.

"We try to steer clear of political divides if possible," Butler Faculty Senate President Jeanne VanTyle told the Indianapolis Star.If only John Roberts believed in an ever changing constitution, or socialism, or was a vocal opponent of Christian values would he be viewed less "controversial" on Butler's campus.
