It’s not a stretch to suggest the young lady was white, if the youngster was black or Hispanic it wouldn’t have likely happened. Of course they’ll never admit it when the whole nation comes down on them, just watch.

What a BS statement by the school.

“ Plans for graduation ceremonies are guided by district policy. Decisions about specific plans reflect our sincere desire to appropriately balance the need to remember those who have passed and the opportunity to celebrate the accomplishment of all graduates.’

‘We realize that not allowing for certain types of memorials during graduation ceremonies may cause additional pain for those closest to students who have passed,’ he continued.

‘Our school administrators have the difficult responsibility of leading with compassion and empathy to help their school community process loss within the guidelines of policy.’”

F your policy - there’s no harm in calling out the name of the student and letting a family member receive it or just giving a moment of silence after words.

This is crass and inhumane and it’s these retarded twits who I guarantee were out marching to protect trans rights and BLM but probably hates this family because they’re “privileged”

My late son passed from a rare heart defect near the end of his 9th grade year. In what would have been his senior year, the principal called and asked if I would walk across the stage and accept my son’s diploma...I did! Small town.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

This is inexcusable.

Leftists have no soul. They sold it to the Devil a long time ago.

Their policy is to visit Biden-style wristwatch-checking disrespect to individuals whose deaths are perceived as inconvenient by our deep state “betters” or contradictory to the truth-mangling narrative it’s currently trying to foisted on us.

Only as a PR move, IMO. Far too many people make hideously bad decisions and then back pedal only after the blowback, claiming it was a *mistake*.

Still no sympathy for them. The thought to do something like this would never have crossed the mind of a actual human being.

Who ever heard of 17 or 18 year olds dying of cancer prior to 2022?

Shriners.

Made into a TV movie which I remember watching. To this day, every now and then that scene when he comes walking up the aisle to get his diploma or whatever was happening just gets to my heart.

They did, but though all the stats show a dramatic decrease between 1975-2020, in which the latter was recorded as a mortality rate of “2.1 per 100,000 children and adolescents in 2020,” I noticed something interesting in my searches just now as a result of your comment.

(also, “declined by more than half from 1970 to 2021 in both children and adolescents, largely due to improvements in treatment and high participation in clinical trials” generally referenced by “age 1-15”)

Good luck wading through the obfuscation of their stats to firmly establish age-specific mortality rate post-2021; more on that shortly.

It was headlined late last year as:

“Youth Cancer Death Rate Down Nearly 25% in US”

‘They’ claim:

“The most recent year for which incidence and mortality data are available lags 2–4 years behind the current year because of the time required for data collection, compilation, quality control, and dissemination.”

Uh-huh. /s I read that as “to give us time to present it in a manner which ‘looks better’.

It does genuinely appear that they have shifted to a ‘CYA presentation’ approach for post-2021 child & adolescent cancer stats. So, if you believe what they’re publishing, the trends continue to fall despite the fact that they fail to cite the mortality rate any longer.

Why would they suddenly (in 2021) change how they present ‘children & adolescent cancer mortality’ when the prior presentation was so favorable to public health?

Convenient, huh? /s

“She worked hard to complete her requirements, “

While dealing with chemo. That’s some impressive sh!t.
