FOX News reports:

Some George Mason University students walk out, turn backs during Gov. Youngkin’s commencement speechVirginia Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin delivered a commencement speech at George Mason University in which some students protested his appearance after failed attempts ahead of the event to replace him as speaker.When Youngkin walked up to the podium to deliver his remarks on Thursday in front of the university’s graduating class, students largely applauded the governor, although boos could be heard as well.Most students did not put on a public demonstration opposing Youngkin, but the ones who did turn their backs on the governor, raised signs that read, “Mason Demands Action” or walked out on the speech.”I think it feels very empowering,” Jason Motley, a graduating student who walked out, told WUSA9. “I think whatever person he may be, his political views just don’t align with the betterment of this university.”The demonstration comes after students in March attempted to pressure George Mason President Greg Washington to prohibit Youngkin from attending the commencement ceremony. A petition was launched demanding he be uninvited over his administration’s policies on transgender issues and controversial school curriculum. The petition received 8,000 signatures.”His beliefs don’t align with the university and a lot of beliefs in this institution,” student Dunni Oni told the outlet. “My big thing is ensuring that Mason students at large feel safe, heard and protected, and he does not ensure that.”
