WILLIAMSBURG — Protesters in opposition of Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin disrupted the College of William & Mary’s Charter Day Ceremony on Friday afternoon, Feb. 11.

During the ceremony, which took place at the Kaplan Arena, located on the University’s campus, a small group of protesters began shouting, chanting and holding up a banner that read, “G. Youngkin is a Bigot!” just as Chancellor Robert M. Gates and Rector John Littel were about to confer an honorary degree on Youngkin.

From the article!




Btw, it's noteworthy that no one protested Gov. Northam's being awarded an honorary degree!
