What a wuss.
Did anyone catch the Glenn Beck program about 2 weeks ago, when this subject came up? That time, it had to do with a soldier not being allowed to wear his dress military uniform to a commencement.
One of the callers to Glenn's show is an active U.S. Marine. He said that he too recently graduated from High School and was told he had to wear the traditional cap and gown just like all of his classmates.
So, he did as the school instructed him to to without making a fuss about it. But underneath his robe, he was wearing his full dress uniform.
As soon as the commencement excersizes were completed, he removed his robe and posed for pictures with his family and friends--WEARING HIS MILITARY UNIFORM.
He did not complain. He does not expect some sort of "apology" for "discrimination", like the weenie in the above story.
And years from now, when he reflects on this ceremony, the only photos he will see are those of him proudly wearing his Marine uniform.
People need to get a life.
"So, he did as the school instructed him to to without making a fuss about it. But underneath his robe, he was wearing his full dress uniform."
When I graduated, in the early 70's, rebellion was part of the norm (is that an oxymoron?) so people went to great efforts to dress as strangely as possible while still meeting the dress code.
One guy had a pair of slacks cut off and wore only the lower legs taped to his knees below his gown. Not me of course, I would never do such a thing.
