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

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.
