<p>D’yer Maker, </p>
<p>I think you make a good point. The school’s aim was for a more dignified ceremony. Yet, when all is said and done, their actions and the attention they have received are all but dignified. </p>
<p>Chedva, I think you also make a good point. there is power in numbers and it is very telling that nobody called to apologize, even when they were invited to do so anonymously. I haven’t read hardly any views in support of the school’s actions in this matter. Some may support that the school had to establish some strict rules due to some out of hand graduations in the past, but how they enforced those rules is not something I have heard anyone support. So, hopefully the solidarity in the lack of apologies will be very clear, along with the public attention to this unfortunate and wrong decision that the school made with these five deserving graduates.</p>
