U.S. Vice President and former Indiana Gov. Mike Pence warned graduates at Taylor University’s commencement Saturday morning they should be “prepared to stand up” in the face of “opposition” to their religious beliefs.
Most of the audience at Taylor, a Christian university in Upland, greeted the vice president with a standing ovation, but a few dozen students and faculty walked out in protest ahead of Pence’s remarks. A small group also protested the vice president’s visit outside the campus’ main entrance Saturday morning.
