A Fordham graduation

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

Glenn Beck’s daughter was among the grads, Glenn was there. Among his thoughts:

. . . there was practically no mention of God [in the ceremony]. In fact, [at] one point, you know, the dean was talking about how we should ‑‑ we should serve each other, we should help each other, we should help the poor because ‑‑ and I thought, hes on it. Hes on the money. Hes on the money phrase. Because then indeed we all will be sons and daughters of fill in the blank, Glenn said.

When no one could guess, he revealed it was not sons and daughters of God but as sons and daughters of Fordham.
