While political speech at commencement may indeed be wrong, it's also a time honored tradition. You'll find all sorts of offcials have announced mjor policy initiatives during commencement speeches. My commencement speaker was Weezy Jeferson, so I don't think anyone should be booing or complaining about anything.

Personally, I think political speech at commencement is ideed bad behavior, although what Nalds considers about it desperate I'm not sure. That being said, I think booing a commencement speaker is also very bad behavior. I don't think booing, catcalling or hissing has ever been concidered polite bahvior anywhere at any time, regardless of the situation. The appropriatte, polite, accepted acts of protest in such situations are either leaving or turning your back.
