“as long as they are reasonable people”

The current crop of educators and democrats are not reasonable people. Drag queens giving school presentations on gay sex, teachers encouraging children to select pronouns and get sex changes, etc, etc, etc.

So while getting thru bootcamp and winning the right to be called a Marine is commendable, the uniform for crossing the stage at the HS graduation is cap and gown.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I know they are not reasonable people. Which is why people react like you do, trying to play defense.

It, as has been shown repeatedly, does not work.

So please stop. Stop kowtowing to the mentally ill.

That is why they win you know.

You are nicing and ruling your way into slavery.

And sorry but dress blues are appropriate in all but a few handful of cases. Graduation is one of those occasions where it is appropriate.
