Erika Kirk Told Men To Lead and Provide. She Told Women To Nurture. Hillsdale Students Saw It Coming

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Before Erika Kirk arrived at Hillsdale, the college's own students had registered their objection.

The Collegian, Hillsdale's student newspaper, reported in March that some seniors were concerned the invitation would politicize their graduation. "Some seniors expressed concern that inviting Kirk to address the class of 2026 does not reflect the desires of the student body and will be perceived as a political statement, distracting from the accomplishments of the graduating class," the paper wrote.

Then she took the stage Saturday before hundreds of graduates and thousands of guests at the Margot V. Biermann Athletic Center in Hillsdale, Michigan, and delivered the speech anyway.

The "marry young" advice got the most coverage from Saturday's address. But the gender prescription Kirk delivered was more specific, and more charged, than the marriage line alone.

3. EK giving a commencement speech is on-brand for Hillsdale; the students

there are already part of the environment that feeds on this nonsense.

9. "Go forth and breed. Breed, breed, breed! You are the brood mares of America!"

10. WTF did they expect?

They mix politics and religion there. So yeah, Erica was at home. Her late hubby talked the college up because it "had the right mix of politics and religion"

The students knew what they signed up for, they enrolled because of it. Their tears mean less than Erica's.

We are becoming Gilead.

13. You know you're in trouble when you lose the students at Hillsdale College

Half the buildings in that place have Jay Van Andel's name on them. Who's he? Mr. Van Andel is the right-wing Christofascist nut who co-founded Amway.

I've said previously that the whole Turning Point scam is going to collapse by the end of the year. This may be the catalyst. When students at Hillsdale College - basically, the epicenter of right-wing academia - say "don't bring her here" you know they're screwed.
