You know, every time I think I’ve seen the most ridiculous thing in the world something else comes up. In Illinois, students were denied their high school diplomas because their friends and family cheered in support of their accomplishments at the graduation ceremony. According to the AP article, the students can get their diplomas once they complete 8 hrs of public service.
Oh come on! Give me a break! If anyone should do the public service it should be those who were cheering, not the students. They had no control over the actions of others while they were walking across the stage. The Galesburg school district has gone overboard with their ridiculous and unreasonable punishment for students who did absolutely nothing wrong.
