How to use lecture in a sentence?

1. Heather MacDonald:

   The protesters surrounded all the doors to the Atheneum where I was supposed to speak, so none of the students who had signed up to attend my lecture could get in, i was hustled from my guest suite by several police officers from Claremont PD into the lecture hall. It was decided that I would give the speech for live streaming to a largely empty hall. The organizers moved the podium so that it would not be visible through the windows to the students surrounding the building once night fell. We jumpstarted the timing of my talk as the crowd seemed to be getting more unruly.

2. Actor Dean Cain:

   Wow. When you decide to give a public lecture to the VP-elect, everything you have said now becomes public knowledge. I liked the response from Mike Pence, ‘ This is what freedom sounds like.

3. Aaron Clarey:

   So do yourself and all men across the world a favor. Not only REFUSE to see the movie, but spread the word to as many men as possible. Not all of them have the keen eye we do here at (Return of Kings.) And most will be taken in by fire tornadoes and explosions. Because if they sheepishly attend and Fury Road is a blockbuster, then you, me, and all the other men (and real women) in the world will never be able to see a real action movie ever again that doesn't contain some damn political lecture or moray about feminism, SJW-ing, and socialism.

4. Mitch McConnell:

   The guy to negotiate with in the administration was the Vice President, not the President, with Joe Biden, we didn't waste a lot of time talking about things we knew we would never agree on. I didn't lecture Joe Biden, Joe Biden didn't lecture me. We got down to the areas where there was a possible agreement and were able to get to an outcome. A very different experience from being in a negotiating setting with the President.

5. Norbert Lammert:

   We Germans cannot lecture anyone about dealing with their past, but we can through our own experiences encourage others to confront their history, even when it hurts.
