The male speaker/ professor (Robb Willer) seemed to be propagandizing his political views, which included some subtle anti -Trump comments (without saying Trump) such as something about "accepting the results of the election" .
I didn't want to hear a professor's political propaganda & didn't see the relevance especially when this was supposed to be a conversation about reducing polarization, or so I thought. And He seemed glib about it, almost as if he was talking down to us like we were his freshman class of idiots.
The main thing is I ask that anti-Trump speech should not be happening at Stanford official events. I know Stanford has a policy about not using the classroom to propagandize one's own personal political beliefs. How far this extends to official events and gatherings I'm not sure, but it would be nice if they would leave it out, especially at an event with the title presumably about reducing polarization , not increasing it
