The article below actually includes a Trigger Warning! It’s a tongue in cheek invite to someone who probably is despised by Stanford students who don’t know any better.

Stanford GSB taps Charles Koch as 2016 Commencement Speaker

TRIGGER WARNING: This article 1) contains references to the Koch brothers, 2) expresses mild skepticism of the predictive power of climate models and 3) uses masculine pronouns, which reflect centuries of the patriarchy’s efforts to subordinate language itself to the violent and rapine dictates of masculine hegemony. It may be traumatic for some at Stanford to be exposed to this diverse and heretical perspective.

For release:

STANFORD, CA–The unorganized, unofficial conservative community at the Stanford Graduate School of Business (GSB) is pleased to welcome billionaire financier and climate activist Tom Steyer as the MBA Class of 2015 graduation speaker.

Unlike most campus political activists today, we plan no walk-outs, boycotts, or divestitures in response to a speaker with whom we disagree. We do not ask the administration to create a safe space to protect those students in whom Mr. Steyer’s climate alarmism and attacks on the coal industry may “trigger” feelings of violation and trauma. We do not suggest that the lounge area next to the Stanford GSB Adverb Wall be furnished with kale chips, clean coal, fair trade coffee, and therapists trained to assist students alarmed that a slight rise in global temperatures might lead to the destruction of everything they hold dear or who might be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder from a 0.2-degree-celsius rise in global temperatures.
