I find that my contempt for the standard education gauleiter only grows as I get older, even long after graduation from the force fed propaganda camps called “schools”.

It sticks in mine also. As the young man said, they enlisted in the military and are putting their lives on the line for our country, they were not trying to wear a sash for some college they’re going to.

I saw on TV the other day a story about a high school honoring those headed to the military, not college or work. They said they were the ONLY high school in the United States, to their knowledge that were doing this. Did anyone else see that?

That is so weird. My young friend just graduated last week and received an appointment to the Naval Academy and wore a cord given to him for his appointment.

Sticks in your craw?
Why?
The graduation ceremony is just that.....celebrating the students who have completed high school.
It is not intended to recognize future aspirations.
Would you like to see sashes for every college logo for those who have been accepted?
How about company logos for those with jobs?
There are ways to recognize recruits...graduation should not be one.

He couldn't do it his way so he decided not to do it?
He's gonna get along real good in the military.

The public shouldn't be funding education let alone graduation ceremonies.

One of the boys was on Fox and Friends this a.m. He was so polite - he stressed that he did not want to disrupt the ceremony, so he just went to sit with his family.
He showed great class. Too bad the school did not.

When a soldier graduates from basic training, he wears the Army uniform; when a Marine graduates from boot camp, he wears the Marine Corps uniform. Neither uniform includes a sash from the service member's civilian alma mater, nor should it. In similar fashion, a school's cap and gown should be respected as the appropriate uniform for graduation.
That said, SwampSniper, I know you're very proud of your grandson. So am I. Semper Fidelis...
