28. The students should be angry and feel betrayed

They are taught that Mormonism is not Christianity nor an Abrahamic religion, and it isn't (not that I care). They are taught a very strict and narrow view of what is and what isn't allowed in both religion and life, and now they are having someone who adheres to a cult and whose beliefs and life spits into what they have been taught and made to adhere to, be there graduation speaker? With their families and friends there to see them graduate? Ruining their graduation ceremony?

I think both Evangelical Christianity and Mormonism is crazy and intolerant, but these students have a right to be upset, hurt, and angry.
