INGRATES! Don’t they realize how special they are to have this most magnificent of all graduation speakers?
If the school district doesn’t back off (unlikely), maybe the individual schools should do what so many large universities do, i.e., have one central grad ceremony, then go back to their own school and hold their own ceremony with their own audiences and their own traditions.
"Hell of a graduation ceremony you got there....be a shame if something happened to it..."
That’s why I think they should go ahead and just have this “unified” ceremony then have another at their own schools. It’s what all big universities do, have one mega ceremony, then each of the colleges/divisions has its own. Everybody’s happy and nobody’s threatened!
