@@deborahdicesare9042 I saw on amazon that they have this as an audiobook at audible.
just preordered it. Unfortunately, in Germany I do not qualify for the signed bookplate. Oh well.
Never mind the students getting up and leaving, I see a lot of the remaining students showed up dressed as empty seats - lol

Did they tell you why?
What a great way to protest. Congratulations to these wonderfully educated young folk. Thank you.
It's Their Day Not Youngkins! They Earned it he Bought it!
The bane of the republican party. Remember they do not like educated voters. Anyone with an ounce of smarts can see right through their rhetoric and propaganda, and can see just how dangerous they are to our democracy.
Being truly educated means valuing civilized society & playing an active role in social causes, politics, etc.
@@derekbaker3279 I'd say they played a very active role by walking out. They made their opinions known about the choice of speaker at _their graduation._
@@Tsudico I agree 100%.👍That was exactly my point....the graduates definitely did the right thing! 😀
I'm so proud of these kids. Respect is given when it's earned, and he definitely hasn't earned it even a little.
That's what the right gets wrong every time. The demand respect and never give it.
@@Ratboy2004…That’s trump in a nutshell.
These are voting adults, not “kids.” Show some respect.
@@aprilmay1700 I understand what you're saying but I don't think it's disrespectful to understand that they're still young. They're our future and I praise them
@@ryshow9118They're kids until they're old enough to vote. Then they're the future of the GOP going down the drain.
Congratulations to the majority of the class of 2024 for standing up for your convictions!!!
Thank you VCU Graduates. Please vote Blue.
This was a walkout protest for Palestine. Unfortunately this was not mentioned by the commentator for some reason....
@@Solarpunkkaitkeep trying to put ‘lipstick on that Pig’!
@@mr112445 excuse me?
As a child of the 60's, my heart overflows with PRIDE for these students!!! Go, young ones, Go!!!
Someone once asked me what my favourite TV show was and I told them it was The Wonder Years. I was the same age at the same time in history so the music and events were a parallel of my life. Although I lived in South America and we did not have to protest it at the time, the episode where the kids walked out of school to protest the Vietnam War really resonated as we were starting to become aware of the fact that we did not understand the way in which the politicians were thinking and behaving but that it was going to have a great impact on our futures if we did not do something.
We are there because of what you did! Student protest no matter the era is on the right side of history
Same here. Can't believe we have to fight again for the things we won back then . They even want to force birth women by banning birth
control.. lol. I remember they refused to wear a scrap of material mask saying it's their body, and no one can tell them what to do. Idiots.
Agree so proud of them and what they did 😄👍🏻
RIGHT ON!!!
I blame the school for inviting him in the first place. That is very disrespectful to these kids that have worked really hard for this day.
It was planned the way they All got up and walked out. They Knew he was going to be there IMO.
@jamesjaramillo2189 of course it was planned. it was a perfect protest.
Totally.
What a fantastic opportunity it gave those young people; to show the world HOW TO STAND AGAINST FALSE HYPOCRITICAL MAGA EXTREMISTS. They should be immensely proud of themselves for the dignified way of standing up for Democracy. Hope the rest of decent Americans can do the same. We from G.B. are supporting you all the way.
@@jamesjaramillo2189, the surprise wasn’t that Youngkin was the speaker, or that there would be a protest. The surprise was how many students actually walked out.
THIS is a protest. Awesome work, graduates!
A peaceful protest that spoke volumes and got their point across. 👍
A peaceful one. The J6 adults should note this, and the 2024 coup planning another refusal of the transfer of power, should they lose.
What change did it effect
@@user-yd6cy2im4k don't think any change. They simply showed their disdain in a peaceful way.
@@user-yd6cy2im4k showed their disdain in a peaceful way. Not a change protest just making a point
That was GLORIOUS! What a perfect way to protest a political neanderthal.
Good on you, VCU students! We've had to fight that bastard tooth and nail ever since he was elected, absolutely love love love seeing our youth taking a stand.
How he ever became governor here is beyond me. If McAuliffe had not said what he did about schools he'd be our governor and we'd be doing much better
I am so proud of them all 😊😄
My alma mater....proud of them. Youngkin is a putz
@@amypittelkau3576 Same here!
Congratulations 💯💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙
Rape, guns and sedition are more important to Youngkin than their future. Why stick around for his abusive speech?
Three word slogans play well with the magas, but they haven’t gone so far as to chant that one in public yet.
Yet. 🫤 I’m adding it to my bingo card.
The youth aren't buying the ISH, there's hope for America after all!!😂❤❤❤
@@jodyariewitz7349 I Have Heard the crap about the New Generation since I was the Next generation{ Im 60} No this Youth is NOT garbage and Know the Garbage the rep are Pushing. I remember when I was starting something New. { Pokemon go Yes I have stopped } But the next Gen were Not only Nice But very helpful to even Lose Battles Just to give me and a young girl pokemonn we could win.
Best Line I ever Heard is " this Next Generation grew up reading Harry Potter and the Hunger Games . You really think they are going to fall for that crap?
Rape, guns and sedition? Who are you talking about?
I believe you really need a new rock to hide under... Replay the video till you can relate... Bless your heart. @@BlueDirt_ProAggressive
I'm so proud of these graduates!!! They are making a statement. Continue to do so with your votes!!! 💙💙💙💙
I STAND with this graduating class!!!! THESE kids are our future!!!! Clearly they have some thoughts on what is happening in this country!!!!
What disruption is he talking about? No one said a word, no one did anything harmful, they simply walked out silently and peacefully. It’s called freedom of speech and these students exercised it.
Well it was letting him have his freedom of speech. It doesn’t entitle him to an audience though.
No republican wants the opposition to have freedom of speech, while they themselves exercise their lies continuously.
It’s only a disruption if they don’t like it.
Well, at least they walked out quietly and not screaming on top of their lungs. Kudos to the graduates! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍💐
But MAGA and Trump's tactics haven't been devisive at all....
Nope.
Get rid of the Electoral College and all our votes would count.
I hate living in a red state and knowing that my vote for president doesn't count. I also hate knowing that people in a few swing states are the ones who actually choose the president.
Pretty disappointing Democrats like Schumer and Biden and other party leaders are doing nothing about the obsolete electoral college or the Jim Crow filibuster.
We need Democrats to start making our votes matter! We have been voting - they have not been taking action for too long. Enough excuses!
Get rid of the electoral college and no republican would ever be elected again. I am ok with that.
Yes
Get rid of the Electoral College, and the Democratic candidate will be able to win an election on the basis of carrying California by a landslide. Look at the '16 election. Clinton's plurality of votes in California was greater than her plurality of votes nationwide. That means that in the other 49 states, more people voted for Trump.
Sorry....Democrat or Republican, I do not want my president chosen on the basis of carrying one particular state by a huge margin.
Well done graduates! Congratulations Class of 2024! ❤
Well Done American Youth !!!! This Is Your Country. ! Your Future !!!
This is AWESOME, this is exactly what being an American is about!
Yep 🇺🇸
So proud of them.. making a stand while not making a spectacle of themselves and not disrupting anybody else's moment.. pro Palestinian wannabe should definitely take a queue
*cue
Let's hope all of this turns into actual votes. On Election Day. November.
This is done everywhere in the world. You remember the student uprising in Paris 68?
How appropriate! Hooray for the college grads being on the side of democracy!
I think our younger generation is more in tune to politics than Republicans and MAGA realize 😊
That same system of democracy put Youngkin in his position. It's amazing how you support democracy until you disagree with the results.
@@mr.e9727 Oh the damn irony on that statement.
@@Inugamizisn't that the truth.
so cool. I'd love to see this at Universities too.
BRAVO!!!! Those graduates stood their ground and I am very proud of each and everyone that walked out.
Fight the power! 💪🏻 Womens rights . Vote Blue 💙. Almost time for Virginia to vote him out.
I am proud that younger folk are paying attention and taking action.
I am sad that they basically have no choice.
@@Avrysatosthe choice they had is the same every one of us has. Act for Democracy, or opt for a false peace and specious liberty.
@@thisbushnell2012 We weren't being offed in high school. Things are so much worse for them.
Neanderthals were smarter please don't disrespect our ancestors.
Vote Blue!!!
I’m hoping the young 3:09 voters are going to have lots of surprises for Republicans in the fall!!’
Remember to boo at the polls too! Vote these politicians out that do not speak for you or act on your behalf!
By VA law and maybe Constitution, Youngkin cannot run for an immediate second term. 💙💙💙
Sad to say, a lot of these graduates will not bother to vote.
@@michaelinhouston9086 Those who 'walked the walk' this day will _certainly_ do so in November.
@@michaelinhouston9086you don't know that.
@@michaelinhouston9086 You asked them?
Great job VCU class of 2024 and congratulations! Hope you stay involved and active and lead America down the right path, not the right-wing one!
Congratulations to the class of 2024 VCU, Every one of you who walked out exercised your rights and demonstrated what it means to be an American who lives in a democracy.
My daughter graduated this weekend from VCU! He’s the reason so many didn’t even attend the main ceremony on Saturday.
Congrats to your daughter.
Kudos to your daughter. It’s the accomplishment she can take with her wherever she goes,not the pomp and circumstance.
I don't blame them... that means that these young people will NOT tolerate the GOP anymore
@@richhopson6063 thank you!
@@firstlast-tp7zo thank you and you are so right!
Something tells me he won't be re-elected. Good for these kids!!
He can't be. He's term-limited. But I wouldn't want to be the Republican candidate in '25!
@@adiuntesserande6893 Actually, he could be re-elected--just not two consecutive terms. I'm glad these passionate and brave graduates took a stand.
@@adiuntesserande6893 Yes, he is term limited - unless he could orchestrate a change in the state law to give him a third term.
A Republican would not let a "silly law" block his ambitions!
I hope doesn’t, he is just like the rest of other republicans.
We should have Term Limits across the board!
SMART YOUNG PEOPLE silently speaking👍🏼🇺🇸💙
WOW WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SIGHT TO SEE!! This clip should be shown for EVERY DEMOCRAT candidate race across America, its SO POWERFUL! Thank you for sharing!!!!💙💙💙💙
Now that is making a statement!! Good job!! So proud of these young people!
They were raised well! Kudos to their parents.
Well done💙💙💙💙
So am I! That motivates the hell out of me.
Now, they all need to vote. ✌️🇺🇸
All these kids that left when he started talking will go on to have brilliant careers. They can actually put that act on their resumes. I'm in HR, and I would hire them on the spot.
OH MY GOD!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
I am so proud of those graduates!🎉
They made a very powerful stance they did not make a spectacle they did not disrupt anybody else's graduation and... We are all so proud of them
Wowzer!!!! I love it!!!! Stand together and we make big progress! I’m so proud of you all!! Blessings ❤❤❤
Protestors take note: These graduates did it perfectly. They drew attention in a way that they cannot be accused of taking away other people's rights, or causing damage to property, being "violent," being "vulger," being "apathertic," or even being "disruptive." They voted with their feet: showed up dressed up, and walked out with decorum. Their silence spoke loud and clear, and did not leave any room for criticism. And that made it all the more powerful. Thank you for the lesson.
Actually, that's what impressed me the most. Their dignified exit, seemed slow, inexorable, and quite, quite silent, yet their point couldn't have been made clearer. It was a sight to behold.
Guess who these kids will not vote for next year .
Congrats to those students who walked out. Well done. I now have more faith in our future generations.
Oh the beauty and power of peaceful protest❣️
THIS is AWESOME!
You can't fool these young people! Shame on you for having the nerve to show up! 😢😮😢😮😢😮😢😮😮
With a prepared Shame Speech. How low Youngkin goes ...into his hypocrisy.
Agree hope Gen Z votes bigly 24 💙💙🇺🇸💯
right now they may not vote for Biden and just not vote. Hopefully they come to their senses.
Not voting for Biden, is the same as voting for the Orange Turd!
Dam who invited him to rain on their parade
Thank you students! I am so proud of all of you. It gives me hope for our country. Vote blue
Respectful and yet you were heard loud and clear, way to go! I’m so proud and so thankful for this generation. Vote 💙
We need this generation to save this country, please ( thank you)
💯 These Gen Z kids make this old Gen X woman so damn proud! 💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸💙🇺🇸
And they will!
@therealgaragegirls Girl! Me too! I'm also gen X and have been voting against these damned boomers since I could vote. I love how checked in these younger people are.
@@That_BIack_Cat 💜💜💜
@@That_BIack_Cat absolutely, didn't mean to not include you and yours. It's your future they want to destroy but....when all, including students who had their loans forgiven, the LGBTQ+ community, women who demand their reproductive freedom, Swifties, millennials, environmentalists etc... line up, there's no amount of gerrymandering and voter suppression, disinformation can stop us from saving this country ( henceforth the world). And then trump is going to jail for the rest of his life and you'll never see a republican president in your lifetime.!!!
Don’t tell me that young people don’t understand politics and aren’t involved!!! This was brilliant to see!! Our young people will save this country!!
I agree. I think many underestimate gen z. They have been quietly paying attention since they were little and now it’s time to act. They fully understand the power social media has and how to use that to their advantage. I live in a fairly small town, less then 10k people, but it was the highschool students who organized a peaceful protest march. They handled every detail and a teacher just monitored them. They planned the route to march, where to have people park, hydration stations, shouted uplifting chants they thought of themselves and even got the mayor involved. Seeing the impact they made and the amount of people who came to support the cause and support THEM, it brought tears to my eyes. It gave me hope that our country will get better, especially if Gen Z has anything to do with it.
💯
Totally agree 🇺🇸💙
You can say that again.
AWESOME, Thank you to those who took a stand and walked out, I hope you all go far in life.
The class of 2024 ROCKS!!! Well done!
Wonderful! Proud of those kids! Way to go!
Voting adults…not kids.
@@aprilmay1700 lol! When you're as old as I am, anyone under 50 is a kid! No offense meant!
Congrats too those who walked out on Younkin! We are not a Nazi nation!!❤😊 Vote Blue Forever America❤😊
If people keep voting blue there won't be an America.
Absolutely totally agree 💯🇺🇸💙💙💙💙💙
💙💙💙💙
Amen!
I second that. Respect.
Wow... Youngkin deserves all the disrespect in the world!!! Kudos to those graduates!! 👏🏾
So proud of the VCU students!
That's what you call 'taking a stand'! Good for you, VCU students!
I would call this voting with your feet.
This gives me chills: Without a word these young adults have spoke volumes. Our young voters excercising their right to protest. I wish I could hug each and everyone!
What gives me chills is people dumb enough to vote Blue. Have you not learned anything since 2019?
Proud of real American children, not putins mouthpieces shiptar. .
Excuse me, young independent American adults ❤
Hope they vote in November
@@hikerbill9248 Probably not, Republicans are severely against learning anything beyond what their Tangerine Toddler says.
Congratulations to the graduates for peacefully protesting...and these young people have the POWER of their votes!
Good for these students for not suffering fools and liars.
I'm SO PROUD of the graduates for walking out. God bless them.
This is GREAT!!!! Our younger generation is NOT full of hatred and division and wars. They are kinder. More compassionate.💙💙💙
Totally agree 🇺🇸💙
I second that!!👏👏👏
You can say that again.
I mean not wars, but defiantly divison and hate there just they hate diffrent things is all... I spend a lot of time on campus trust me more open minded sure, BUT also they still hate things its just not same things other gens hate lol
And they aren’t constrained by ‘politeness’. Well done, kids!
OMG, that's AWESOME! Congratulations on both wins students!

Greetings from Europe.
I've had so many friends and former students graduate from VCU, and I'm so proud of the students in the class of 2024 who chose to protest peacefully at their graduation. Youngkin has done his best to disrupt education here in VA, and whoever thought he'd be a good commencement speaker was not thinking clearly.
Now that is how you protest.
Good for them!!! Action speaks louder than words!!!
Absolutely agree 🇺🇸💙
I can show you better than I can tell you.
BRAVO!!!!
This is our future & good for them standing up for their beliefs Congratulations 🎊👍
