A year after he apologized for his remarks about “the Blacks” in the Latter-day Saint faith, prominent church leader Brad Wilcox has been chosen as the keynote speaker for Brigham Young University-Idaho’s graduation ceremony.
The Rexburg school, which is operated privately by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, announced last week its decision to have Wilcox speak at the April 6 event. Comment sections on the university’s social media pages were quickly filled with students and alumni who said they concerned by the choice — and some who said their posts expressing frustration or disappointment were getting deleted by the school.
“Clearly, the school doesn’t care,” said Marcel Robinson, a Black international student from Jamaica. “I just feel like it’s a spit in the face to have him come talk to students.”
