‘It’s a Modern-Day Draft’: Why Stanford Students Walked Out on Sundar Pichai’s Commencement Speech

Over 100 Stanford students walked out of Sundar Pichai's commencement speech last month to protest Google's military contracts and ICE deals. Organizers Amanda Campos and Eva Jones explained the walkout, calling it a modern-day draft. The protest highlighted student opposition to Google's government partnerships, with participants leaving their own graduation ceremony in a coordinated demonstration against the company's policies.
