I’m willing to bet there wouldn’t have been a problem had she worn a hijab.

I think it’s against Marine rules, too, isn’t it?

High schools have become a joke anyway. They never fail to try to throw their weight around in the last few hours.
Tomorrow they cannot affect her life at all.

I agree with the High School. She can wear her Blues under her gown. If you allow her to wear her uniform you might as well allow people to wear whatever they feel like. Rules are rules.

Bet if he dressed up as a trannie they’d go all slobbery over him/her.

I was not aware that women Marines had changed their hat style.

Not this shit again! As a retired USMC Officer here’s my take. “Uniform of the Day” for a hHgh School Graduation is “Cap and Gown” ... period. That is the rule. If the Marine wishes to were his or her Dress Blues after the ceremony, then fine. I agree with the school officials as I do every year when this shit comes up. It’s always the “Recruit Poolies” who seem to have this problem and the Recruiters need to instruct them that they may have “graduated” from Boot Camp but their High School Graduation is another thing.... “Cap and Gown.”

Or, a full Burka.
We should never forget the sacrifices of the military, including the Marines, who loved this country more than their own lives and gave it all for us.

It appears that Obonzo and his ‘RATs have taken us back to the late 60s when the commie libs couldn’t stand the sight of a U.S. military uniform. But, “dem rules b dem rules.” They probably wouldn’t have had a problem with it if she was totally naked under her cap and gown. “Dem rules” probably don’t forbid that.

I hate the, “If she were wearing . . .” BS. She’s not. Nobody should get special snowflake treatment. I’ve taught two very special Marines. They would be appalled by this, and they’re even Gen Xers.

Noting gives away your position like a white hat that sticks up four inches above your head.
