Will Vicente Fox be R-rated tonight at Wayne State University?

As mentioned in an earlier post, Wayne State University is hosting Former Mexican President Vicente Fox tonight.  This isn't the first time Fox has lectured at Wayne State.  He's been invited back to kick off this fall's lecture series marking the 10 year anniversary of Focus on Contemporary Issues in Society (FOCIS).

Unlike ten years ago, clips of Fox are all over the news.  And John Oliver.  And YouTube channels.  In his latest video, Fox repeatedly uses the F word and often throws up his middle finger.  This notoriety will certainly increase attendance at the event.  But which persona will show up at the podium?  Will I regret bringing along my 13 year old son?  Probably not since he's already seen the videos in question.  I'm just glad that Fox's off-color persona is getting people to pay attention to the issues of the day and come on out to a public event to discuss them.  I hope the crowd will be courteous and that alternative viewpoints will be welcomed and discussed.  There is no substitute for that.
