Not that it would ever happen (because I’m sure the colleges actively encourage this at worst and turn a blind eye at best) but can we please get rid of the grandstanding during graduation? No writing on the cap and gown, no political statements of any nature. Just enjoy the day and stop trying to make disruptions
Now everywhere you turn, RESIST written on caps, fag flags, walk outs, BLM statements on gowns.
Not so long ago, there were good, non-political statement on caps and gowns. That’s especially when one completed a long, difficult Ph.D. thesis, or one competed a degree despite financial or health hardships.
“Whew, I made it!” “Hi, Mom!” etc. There’s nothing wrong with any of that. In contrast, “RESIST” is not only irrelevant and obnoxious, but banal as well.
