Ivanka Trump called out "cancel culture" Friday night after plans for her to give a virtual commencement speech were canceled. Wichita State University dropped the first daughter from its graduation ceremony amid criticism of President Trump's response to police brutality protests.

In a joint statement, Wichita State President Dr. Jay Golden and WSU Tech President Dr. Sheree Utash announced the decision to remove Ivanka Trump from Saturday's virtual graduation ceremony. They made the announcement on Thursday night, just hours after they said she would be speaking to graduates.

After WSU Tech announced the first daughter would be speaking, 488 students, faculty and alumni had signed an open letter to administrators calling for her removal from the ceremony. Associated Professor Jennifer Ray, who authored the letter, wrote that she was "horrified and disgusted" by the school's choice in speaker.

Senator Tom Cotton, whose "Send In The Troops" op-ed in The New York Times drew widespread criticism this week, defended the White House adviser after her speech was canceled. He called the decision "absurd" and said "the woke mob struck."

6. This really upsets me

They should have did what her daddy does: send police to knock her down and tear gas her.

[kskiska]

7. Awww. And she had a brand new outfit just for the occasion.

8. Laure, Weinstein, Madoff all cancelled as well.

Just sayin.

[Moostache]

9. I want whoever thought she was a good idea AT ALL to be fired...

That shows such a complete lack or critical thinking and judgement that it MUST be addressed.

Ivanka Trump as the commencement address? Get the FUCK out of here with that shit. She is the ultimate example of being born on third, told she hit a triple and then allowed to "steal" home while her father paid off the umpire to tackle the catcher AND look the other way...

26. It's just the Trump name that seemed attractive.

As attractive as White House Barbie thinks she is, she's an ugly, vapid troll on the inside. Whoever thought she'd be a positive commencement speaker was just trading on the "Trump" brand. As we've plainly seen in the past few years, the "Trump" brand has taken a massive downward plunge, and to be completely candid, nothing could make me happier.

11. Maybe Iskanka

was planning on reading a list of the 15 million jobs she "created".

12. Snowflake Fake. I don't really care ... nt

13. Happy

To see they sent her packing

14. evoking the name of

Joseph Campbell is blasphemy

there is a reason cancel culture exists... we do not need to hear from anti-science, racists ignorant individuals... not needed, not now, not ever

15. She doesn't even understand what "cancel culture" means

Cancel culture is when someone, usually a celebrity, says or does something stupid, racist, homophobic, etc., the person gets called out, and people say they're done with that person. People said it about Ellen after she said nice things about w, for example.

This isn't cancel culture because WSU had a whole body of work, from her stupid books to her exploiting foreign labor for her fashion line to her complicity with her father's regime for more than 3 years. And she deserves everything she gets for it.

16. Well I call out nepotism culture, Ivanka.

How's that? No one would think of asking you to speak at a serious gathering if your name were Smith or Jones instead of Trump. Get over yourself.

[cwydro]

17. Oh, so sad.

[CanonRay]

18. The Koch brothers are huge donors to WSU

[SergeStorms]

19. Awww, did somebody say "No" to White House Barbie?

It's probably the first time in her life she's heard that terrible word. Don't worry, Barbie, being rejected once in a while builds character, something the Trump family has never known.

[A HERETIC I AM]

20. I'm now convinced that if at least one member of this fucking grifter family...

a group of utterly unqualified individuals that have fallen backward into the seat of power in this country, doesn't moan and complain about their lot in life, or make some dopey comment on how unfair everyone is to them at least once a day, all of them collectively will explode.

I don't think history can possibly reveal a more egregious example of a group who has risen to power, yet does nothing but moan about their terrible lot in life and how everyone hates them.

Jesus Hucksterass Christ, just shut the ever living fuck up, already.

God damn, but these people are banal and tedious.

21. Maybe she could be on the dunking tank at the school carnival.

[Brother Mythos]

22. Aw, poor little Princess Ivapid.

[John Fante]

23. Way to use the term "cancel culture" incorrectly, nitwit.

As someone posted, it has nothing to do with literal cancelations. 😂

24. She's A Loser, Just Like Her Daddy

When a school that most people have Never heard of, does not want you to give an online speech, that should send a message, YOU'RE A LOSER! I'm sure she won't get it though.
