I love this time of year.

I went out for lunch the other day. The county uses the fair grounds for graduation. Many of the kids were coming in for lunch after the cermony.

The young ladies with their kids were extra special. I guess its good they got their diploma though.

Why America is America!

Officials have yet to comment on what went wrong.

Public school officials went wrong, that's what. No personal responsibility combined with sadistic cruelty and indifference, controlled by the most fascistic arm of liberal politics.

What could possibly go wrong?

[Norm Lenhart]

Well mothers, you sent your kids to the government yo train them. Don’t complain when that government showed you what they thought of you.

campus police said about 150 people ended up without a seat.

I have a novel solution, they should've played a game of musical chairs every 15 minutes, that way everybody gets a chance to sit down at some point.

I trust that there werent a lot of AMISH parents..locked out..as .there might well have been a near RIOT..were that the case

Common Core math? It took 100 steps to figure out what the maximum was, but they gave up trying after 75 steps?

Sounds like someone reproduced the tickets and sold them at a profit.

[Scrambler Bob]

Or counted using Common Core math.

"mothers were crying and stuff, they wanted to see their daughters graduate"

So they only locked out the mothers of girls? All the mothers of boys were allowed in?

Wait until Feminazi's hear about this.

I teach 5th grade and a 3rd grade teacher showed me one of their word problems that required 5 steps to finish. 5 steps for an 8 year old, that must be done sequentially. Ridiculous.

Just went through a 2.5 hr graduation (held at Prestonwood Baptist Church) with the longest list of speakers for McKinney High School (total of three held today) and it took more than 45min just to clear the lot (some early comers for the next service was 2.5 hrs later) blocking traffic in every direction!

Anyone in neighborhood trying to go to lunch were going to be very late getting back to work! Traffic blocked on interstate for a very long time.

So they only locked out the mothers of girls?

Apparently all the fathers were allowed in because of the patriarchy!

It just isn't a privilege if you can't enjoy it once in a while.

It’s the same reason hotels over book. A certain percentage of people are expected to not show up. And sometimes that group lets down the side and actually shows up. It’s unfortunate, and they probably should have figured out some sort of “over flow” plan, but it happens, probably every single year at multiple schools without it hitting the news.

Yes, I sense the whiff of ghetto people in this article.....

nope illegals

My daughter graduated last weekend. With the last name starting with a “B” I would have been happy to leave after she received her diploma. It would be even better if the speakers went after the ceremony.
