Vice President Mike Pence will not deliver his commencement speech at Wisconsin Lutheran College (WLC) as planned this Saturday, after the school replaced him with a different speaker in the wake of recent unrest.

The Milwaukee-based Christian college on Thursday announced the change two days after Pence accepted the invitation to speak at the class of 2020 commencement ceremony. Rev. Mark Jeske of St. Marcus Lutheran Church will serve as a substitute speaker.
