Former 'Dancing With the Stars' Finalist Bristol Palin Dissed By College Students

Palin may have gained national popularity each week on "Dancing with the Stars," but students at Washington University would have voted otherwise.

After student protests, the 20-year old mother of two-year-old son Tripp, was uninvited by the Student Health Advisory Committee to talk during “Student Sexual Responsibility Week” about abstinence.

According to Radar, undergrads were unhappy about the use of student-generated funds to be allocated to Palin’s several thousand dollar speaking fee. The appearance was cancelled on Thursday.

Student Philip Thomas started the protest, and said people were angry due to the high cost and Palin’s lack of expertise.

A Facebook page tailored for the protest, created by Washington University undergrad Ryan McCombe, had postings by members, which read:

“Bristol got pregnant at 17, and rose to fame on none of her own merits, only the fact that her mother ran for Vice President, she has zero credentials in this area, and costs a ton of money.”

"I mean, is Bristol honestly going to say that she was trying to make a baby and lay back and thought of England? Or that that she had sex, without understanding the steps to be taken in order not to become pregnant?"

Scott Elman, Student Advisory President, said Pail and the committee came to a mutual agreement that she would cancel the appearance.

After the spotlight was thrust upon the pregnant Bristol Palin, just after her mother became the official GOP Vice Presidential Candidate in 2008, Palin eventually decided to take the opportunity to speak on behalf of abstinence.

After backing away from astatement she made on Fox News, stating that abstinence wasn’t realistic, Palin said the comment was taken out of context. Launching her career as a spokesperson for abstinence in 2009, she shared new light on “Good Morning America” about her feelings towards teen pregnancy.

"Regardless of what I did personally, I just think that abstinence is the only ... 100 percent foolproof way to prevent pregnancy," she said.
