- Can Jane Fonda speak at UCLA commencement? Yes.
- Should Jane Fonda speak at UCLA commencement? Depends upon what chair a person is sitting in.
- UCLA students. Yes since they obviously extended an invitation to her to speak.
- Vietnam Veterans. Absolutely not because of her actions (not just words) in North Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
- Should Jane Fonda be silenced (shouted down/out) while speaking at UCLA commencement? No. Silencing an opposing viewpoint is wrong. Opposing a different viewpoint is authorized and encouraged. I recommend that people educate and inform a younger generation on exactly what Jane Fonda did and its direct and negative impacts upon not only military members fighting the Vietnam War but the POWs who were held by North Vietnam. The truth (her actions) should be seen in the light of day for what they were and are.

Respectfully disagree, sir. Acts of treason should be dealt with as such. No matter the "status" or money that they possess. It's not a matter of differing opinions or points of view. She directly caused the death of our POWs. There should be no overlooking, no statute of limitations, and no forgiveness for her actions. She should not even be free, much less speaking in this country.

Understand what you are saying but here is the rub. Treason is a crime. When was Jane Fonda tried and convicted of this crime? Knowing guilt and proving guilt in a court of law are two different things otherwise we should have just executed MAJ Hasan on 5 NOV 09. You are arguing for what should happen (for which I agree with you). I am arguing what must happen within a just society.

We fight for the freedom of speech. If they want to have her speak that is their business. They had a cop killer speak at other colleges. Do not mean I would go see her or listen to her.

Easy answer. .NO. She is a commie loving traitor. Her citizenship should have been stripped in 1972.
