So we should all shut up and stop calling for an end to genocide because its "generic speech"?
No, that's not a generic speech to me. In that case, you're motivating a specific political issue and trying to convince anyone who's still on the fence. Contentious political issues have always been excluded from the ceremony speeches I attended.
Why? That's kinda their responsibility. Especially now, during a genocide.
Anyone who was speaking at a graduation now and didn't call for action against the war is failing miserablely
You're right, what Russia is doing in Ukraine is tantamount to genocide
Ethnic cleansing*
