Speaking Engagements
Murray has generated controversy in numerous speaking engagements around the country. In 2010, Murray was invited to speak at the Oshkosh Partners in Education Council in Oshkosh, Wisconsin at the urging of then Republican Senate Candidate Ron Johnson, creating a great deal of controversy. On March 23, 2011, while speaking at Earlham College, Murray's speech, titled "Taking Happiness Seriously" was disrupted by someone pulling the fire alarm, resulting in the evacuation of the building and relocation to another building for the remainder of the talk. Afterwards, during a reception for Murray, a fire alarm was again pulled disrupting the reception.
