"Johnson is a former cabinet secretary. He grew up in town, and his father was very revered," added Balfour, a retired journalist now living in Raleigh, NC."It's just so petty and such an overreaction. I feel bad for him." Johnson's selection as commencement speaker had been heralded <a href="https://www.vassar.edu/news/jeh-charles-johnson-speak-vassar-colleges-158th-commencement">in a Vassar press release</a> last month. It noted that as the young son of a beloved professor, Johnson had enjoyed watching the commencement speeches of Supreme Court Justice Arthur Goldberg in 1968 and activist Gloria Steinem in 1969."Ever since then, I've always thought Commencements were special," Johnson was quoted saying.But a Feb. 16 story in the student newspaper, The Miscellany News, reported that many in the student body did not think a Johnson commencement speech would be special at all."For many students — particularly the graduating class — the selection of Johnson as this year's commencement speaker was perceived as a strikingly tone-deaf blow to Vassar's integrity and community values," according to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220217162346/https://miscellanynews.org/2022/02/16/news/jeh-charles-johnson-withdraws-as-commencement-speaker-after-student-opposition/">a cached version of the since-removed story</a>.The deleted piece included a link to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210506174128/https://thehill.com/latino/442682-obama-dhs-secretary-pulls-out-of-usc-commencement-speech-after-opposition-to">a story in The Hill</a> about Johnson bowing out of a commencement speech at the University of Southern California in 2019, after similar student opposition.It also included comments from Vassar Student Association Vice President Ryan Mazurkeivicz, a graduating senior.Mazurkievicz said he and VSA President Gabi James, also a graduating senior, had brought their concerns about Johnson to Vassar President Elizabeth Bradley."We're not thrilled, and this is not who we would have chosen as speaker," Mazurkeivicz is quoted saying in the deleted story. "Other people are significantly more upset than we are," Mazurkeivicz added, according to the deleted post. "It was a matter of just saying openly and honestly, 'This is how we feel.' In terms of the situation being what it is, I would like to give President Bradley credit that she listened."Bradley, in turn, has pushed back hard against any indication that Vassar played a role in Johnson stepping down."The decision to withdraw was wholly Secretary Johnson's and we felt we needed to respect his decision," Bradley told Insider in an emailed statement."We continue to have great respect for Secretary Johnson," Bradley said."We at Vassar believe that engaging with people who have different viewpoints is essential to learning," Bradley said in the statement. "Johnson felt that Commencement was a time for celebration and did not want to add any contention to that day."<h2>A threat of 'protests and disruption' </h2>Students quoted in the deleted student newspaper story cited Johnson's role in opening detention centers at the US-Mexico border nearly 20 years ago."I'm sure Vassar can find someone to speak who isn't responsible for what amounts to war crimes," a 2014 Vassar graduate, Max Lapides, told The Miscellany News in the deleted article. "I think many students will refuse to indulge such a speaker," agreed graduating senior Harriet Rose-Barwick. "And if he does end up coming, the administration should expect student protest and disruption." Another graduating senior, Ethan Rose, told the paper, "It just seems to me that asking that a commencement speaker not have a record of overseeing the construction of inhumane detention facilities is a pretty low bar."Johnson announced he would not give the speech a week after the story ran, <a href="https://wpdh.com/vassar-commencement-speaker-withdraws-over-controversy/">as first reported February 17</a> by a local radio station, WPDH in Poughkeepsie.Since then, angry comments <a href="https://legalinsurrection.com/2022/02/facing-threat-of-student-protests-former-dhs-sec-jeh-johnson-withdraws-as-vassar-college-commencement-speaker/comment-page-1/#comment-1262546">have been flooding the Legal Insurrection conservative blog</a>, and <a href="https://miscellanynews.org/2022/02/14/opinions/statement-from-jeh-charles-johnson-on-withdrawing-as-2022-commencement-speaker/">continue to fill the comments sections</a> of the Miscellany News, with students and alumni weighing in for and against Johnson speaking."Shameful," a commenter named "Jane" wrote last week. "Shame on President Bradley for bowing to this childish bunch. Imagine cancelling a Black man who served in the Obama administration for an ACTOR! This is insanity and makes Vassar look terrible. "Balfour, a retired journalist now living in Raleigh, NC, told Insider she was disappointed in the trend at colleges of selecting "safe" celebrities as commencement speakers."When I graduated in '77 the speaker was Shirley Chisholm," she said."They've just had a lot of non-serious people, a lot of people in the entertainment industry lately."Commencement speakers at Vassar have been a mix of celebrities and non-celebrities. Energy technology innovator Jessica O. Matthews <a href="https://www.vassar.edu/stories/2021/an-unconventional-year-culminates-in-2021-commencement-ceremony.html">spoke last year</a>; film producer Jason Blum the year before. Other speakers have included Tom Hanks in 2014, Lisa Kudrow in 2010 and Samuel L. Jackson in 2004.On Monday, <a href="https://www.vassar.edu/news/jeh-charles-johnson-speak-vassar-colleges-158th-commencement">the Miscellany News story link</a> was still directing to Johnson's statement instead."We decided to pull the article off our website due to some factual inaccuracies caused by some quick reporting, and we're working to address them thoroughly," Miscellany News Editor told Insider in an email.

Your voice is a reminder that you matter. Because you do," she said.Meanwhile, Harry urged Americans to "reject hate speech, misinformation, and online negativity" this election season.The Queen's staff told <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/harry-violated-palace-deal-with-plea-to-american-voters-cms3vpcvc">The Times</a> that the royal household should "put more distance" between itself and the couple because they discussed politics, which is said to be <a href="https://www.insider.com/every-time-british-royals-defied-protocol-spoke-about-politics-2020-8">against royal protocol</a>.But, despite the criticism they've faced recently, Harry and Markle have no plans to stop talking about politics, including after the US election."Part of being an active member of society is to take part in the democratic process," a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told Insider. "So encouraging people to get involved in politics is something that is important."The spokesperson added: "Obviously it is at a very important part of the American election cycle at the moment, but that doesn't mean it's specific to this time."<h2>While UK <keyword id="6418563" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="Royals">royals</keyword> typically remain neutral in politics, the official royal protocol is ambiguous</h2>Markle in particular has made the 2020 general election a priority during recent engagements. In August, she confirmed that she will be <a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-defied-royal-rule-politics-voting-us-elections-2020-8">voting in the election</a>, and in September the duchess <a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-gloria-steinem-cold-called-us-voters-2020-9">cold-called US citizens</a> with Gloria Steinem and encouraged them to vote.Markle and Harry <a href="https://www.royal.uk/statement-her-majesty-queen-0">promised to uphold the Queen's values</a> when they resigned, which includes remaining politically neutral. "As Head of State The Queen has to remain strictly neutral with respect to political matters," a <a href="https://www.royal.uk/queen-and-government">statement on the royal website reads</a>.The statement adds that the Queen does not vote in UK elections, but she does have "important ceremonial and formal roles in relation to the government." These include opening each new session of parliament. As members of a constitutional monarchy, British royals cannot be seen as trying to influence parliamentary decisions. However, the extent to which royals are expected to remain politically neutral is ambiguous."We do expect royals to have a different role within the constitution," the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's spokesperson told Insider. "But the Queen herself, for example, encouraged people to use their right to vote when there was a referendum in Scotland and when there was an election in Wales," they added, referencing the Scottish independence referendum in 2014 and the Welsh Assembly election in 2003."While potentially controversial, it is not a brand-new thing," the spokesperson added.<div type="image" title="Queen and Trump" height="745" width="1200" msid="79005307" hostid="261"></div>The monarch also regularly hosts world leaders at Buckingham Palace. President <keyword id="6354484" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Donald-Trump">Donald Trump</keyword> has visited twice, in 2018 and 2019. Her Majesty holds a <a href="https://www.insider.com/photos-queen-audience-with-boris-johnson-by-phone-call-windsor-2020-3">weekly audience with the British prime minister</a> and has been known to invite prime ministers for private visits to Balmoral Castle, her Scottish holiday home.<h2>The press didn't seem to care when the Queen encouraged the public to vote and Harry and Markle arguably didn't break protocol by doing the same </h2>Markle's comment about the 2020 general election being "the most important election of our lifetime" was interpreted as a dig at Trump."I'm not a fan of hers," Trump said when asked by a reporter what he thought of <a href="https://www.insider.com/donald-trump-jabs-at-meghan-markle-after-voter-registration-video-2020-9">the couple "essentially encouraging people to vote for Joe Biden."</a>"Some people are making assumptions and connecting the dots between what she said historically and what she has said now," a spokesperson for the Sussexes said, referencing comments Markle made about Trump before she was royal, calling him "divisive" and "misogynistic" <a href="https://www.insider.com/timeline-prince-harry-meghan-markle-rift-with-donald-trump-2020-4">during a TV appearance in 2016</a>.The Sussexes' spokesperson said the couple's "recent comment is very much focused on encouraging people to vote."There is no mention of restrictions on royals encouraging citizens to vote listed on the <a href="https://www.royal.uk/queen-and-government">royal website</a>, and the press did not interpret the Queen encouraging voting in a negative way.In 2003, Her Majesty said "we must encourage all people to exercise their right to vote" while opening the second term of the Welsh Assembly. The headline in <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/queen-tells-welsh-to-use-vote-bkb2s9c5hmm">The Times</a> read: "Queen tells Welsh to use vote."<div type="image" title="queen vote headline" height="314" width="1200" msid="79005310" hostid="261"></div>When the Duke and Duchess of Sussex encouraged American citizens 17 years later, the <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/harry-violated-palace-deal-with-plea-to-american-voters-cms3vpcvc">same publication wrote</a>: "Harry 'violated' palace deal with plea to American voters."The Times interpreted Harry's words about rejecting hate speech and misinformation online as a "swipe at Donald Trump."<div type="image" title="harry vote headline" height="370" width="1200" msid="79005313" hostid="261"></div>Meanwhile, the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8762603/Meghan-Markle-labels-November-vote-important-lifetime.html">Mail Online</a> wrote that Buckingham Palace "washes hands in row over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'telling Americans to vote out Trump.'"In comparison, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2762718/A-result-United-Kingdom-respect-The-Queen-responds-Scottish-referendum-decision.html">the Mail</a> previously wrote of the Queen's response to the Scottish independence referendum in 2014: "'A result that all of us throughout the United Kingdom will respect': The Queen responds to Scottish referendum decision."The Times and the Mail did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment on this article. It has become common for royals to cross lines when it comes to getting involved in politics, and many have taken things further than Harry and Markle.<div type="image" title="prince charles tony blair" height="2336" width="1664" msid="79005317" hostid="261"></div>Prince Charles, for example, was accused of trying to influence government decisions with a series of <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/6-things-we-learned-about-prince-charles-influence-on-politics-from-the-release-of-his-black-spider-10249008.html">letters to former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair</a> and other government officials that were made public in 2004 and 2005.More recently, Prince William accused politicians of failing to act on climate change, saying he doesn't understand "why those who have the levers" aren't doing anything, according to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-8870613/Prince-William-reveals-gets-upset-politicians-failure-combat-climate-change.html">Mail Online.</a><h2>Royals around the world have been vocal about politics and some have even run for president</h2>Princess Keisha of Nigeria believes that more royals should use their platform in the way Harry and Markle have.<a href="https://www.insider.com/princess-keisha-of-nigeria-husband-pantene-crown-of-curls-5">Keisha</a>, an American model and wife to Prince Adekunle from the Arigbabuowo ruling house in Nigeria, told Insider that it's "completely unfair and unrealistic" to expect the couple to "suddenly remain silent simply because it is an election season.""Encouraging everyone to vote will always be the right thing to do," she added. "Voting is a right that was not granted to women and Black Americans less than 100 years ago."<a href="https://www.insider.com/how-princess-esther-of-burundi-became-france-first-black-model-2020-6">Princess Esther of Burundi,</a> who ran for president in 2005, understands more than anyone what it's like for a royal to get involved in politics.Esther believes the criticism the duke and duchess have received stems from <keyword id="44060" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Racism">racism</keyword> and says Markle wouldn't face the same backlash if she were white. <div type="image" title="princess esther copy" height="3000" width="2000" msid="79005319" hostid="261"></div>"Everyone has their own mind to think. Of course, it's a royal opinion, but they aren't the only ones to give their opinion about what is happening today," Esther said. "If Harry was married to a blonde woman with blue eyes, he could say anything he wanted. The problem is that Meghan has Black, African blood and this destabilized the whole institution. The real story is that."Esther added: "I guess since Harry and Meghan moved from the UK [to California] it was to be free. It has to be very heavy for them. It's like when you are Black, you are a mistake."It's common knowledge that Markle has dealt with <a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-criticized-kate-middleton-praised-double-standards-racism-2019-11">racism from the British press</a>. The criticism she received for speaking about politics wasn't the first time she faced double standards, as <a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-criticized-kate-middleton-praised-double-standards-racism-2019-11">royal commentator Kristen Meinzer previously pointed out</a>."Over and over again, the press tears Meghan apart for <a href="https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/a21961916/meghan-markle-crossed-legs-queen-twitter-reactions/">crossing her legs</a>, saying it's a breach of protocol," Meinzer previously told Insider. "But do a quick Google image search of 'Queen crossing legs,' 'Camilla crossing legs,' 'Di crossing legs,' etc., and you'll find dozens if not hundreds of photos of royals at official events crossing their legs."A similar example can be found in an <a href="https://www.instyle.com/news/meghan-markle-wedges-bondi-beach">October 2018 InStyle article</a> which accused Markle of breaking "royal shoe protocol" for wearing wedges. Several months later, InStyle published another article praising the Duchess of Cambridge for wearing the same type of shoes, hailing them as <a href="https://www.instyle.com/news/kate-middleton-wedges-versatile-summer-shoes">"the most versatile shoes of the summer."</a>"In short, I don't think Meghan would be facing any of these double standards if she were white," Meinzer told Insider.<h2>Harry and Markle could start political careers if they dropped their titles, but that likely won't happen</h2>Piers Morgan and two British politicians <a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-vote-political-comments-queen-elizabeth-2020-8">called for the Queen to revoke Markle's title</a> after she encouraged the public to vote. Since Markle is a duchess through marriage to a duke, the only way she would lose her title would be if Harry's was revoked too. However, royal experts <a href="https://www.insider.com/prince-harry-should-keep-royal-title-duke-of-sussex-experts-2020-9">previously told Insider</a> that it's highly unlikely this would happen since it's Harry's "birthright."<div type="image" title="harry meghan and queen elizabeth II" height="2077" width="1200" msid="79005322" hostid="261"></div>Nonetheless, the couple would have more freedom if they voluntarily stopped using their titles. They could even start careers in politics. A friend of Markle's told <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/style/2020/09/meghan-markle-running-for-president">Vanity Fair</a> in September that the duchess would "seriously consider running for president" if she gave up her title.Royal politicians are not unheard of. Archduchess Walburga, the daughter of the last Crown Prince of Austria, is a member of the Swedish Moderate Party and was previously a member of the Swedish Parliament for eight years. Walburga told Insider she does not use the title in her daily life, and the fact that she has one is "not a big deal" to the Swedish citizens."Obviously it's a thing you think about occasionally, but you don't use your titles in Sweden," she said. "I didn't go around saying, 'I am the Archduchess.' I was being a politician like any other."<div type="image" title="Walburga Habsburg Douglas" height="1242" width="2000" msid="79005326" hostid="261"></div>She added: "When you are born into a royal family, you must ask yourself: 'Must I live up to the expectations that are put upon someone who is royal?'"It's a question Harry and Markle have likely been asking themselves. And while the option is available, it is unlikely that the couple will follow in the archduchess' footsteps. A source close to the couple told Insider that they haven't endorsed a political candidate because they are aware of "a line" that could be crossed as members of the royal family."With their roles within the royal family, to be partisan political would be a step further than is expected or wanted," the source told Insider. "It would be a change in the way the family has always operated."Buckingham Palace declined to comment when contacted by Insider for this article.<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-vote-political-comments-queen-elizabeth-2020-8">People are calling for the Queen to revoke Meghan Markle's royal title after she encouraged Americans to vote</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/meghan-markle-defied-royal-rule-politics-voting-us-elections-2020-8">Meghan Markle defied the royal family's ban on talking about politics with a powerful statement on why she's voting in the US election</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/congressman-accuses-prince-harry-meghan-markle-interfering-in-election-2020-10">A Republican congressman is accusing Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of interfering in the US presidential election</a></li><li><a href="https://www.insider.com/prince-harry-has-never-voted-royals-politics-us-election-2020-9">Prince Harry says he hasn't voted in an election in his 'entire life,' but he thinks everyone else should</a></li></ul>
