Wow, I'm sorry you so dislike the other 15/16ths of your heritage to the point that you'd wish to trade it in for the proud bolo wearing heritage of the keychain toting Cherokee peoples.
BTW, I never objected to his complaint that he should wear the tie he likes. I specifically highlighted his ridiculous claim that denying him the right to wear a bolo tie insults his heritage and peoples.
I still maintain that that claim is asinine in the extreme, but your disagreement with that is noted. Maybe if I knew more about the significance of the bolo tie to the history of the Cherokee nation, I'd see your point. But I don't think it's really that significant a symbol. It's a friggin bolo tie. And he's attaching a symbolic importance to it solely to tug on the multicultural appeasing heartstrings of dopey liberals in the media.
I don't dislike it. I honor it as well. It does not apply however to the argument at hand. Unless I suppose you need to insult the Scotch, Irish, and the French from early 18th century North Carolina. I will ignore the rest of your statement

So in essence you are ridiculing the complaint that you say you didn't supposedly object to. That's so much better.

So you admit ignorance of the possible symbolism and instead ridicule it. That's what's become of 'conservative' thought? Just yell out the first snide remark before researching the possibility that it may actually hold some symbolism for him. It's not like he was wearing a 4 foot Dumbo mask painted blue, green, and yellow. No one on stage would have known.
Oh but we can't let these kids think just because they're graduating they can actually express themselves. Hell, they may just become unblinded by government thought. What next?!?
And I seriously doubt when he put that tie on, the first thought through his head was how it would 'tug on the multicultural appeasing heartstrings of dopey liberals in the media.' No teenager thinks that far ahead..
But carry on. It seems so many on this thread agree with you. How comforting for the 'conservative' movement...
What gets me is the way some people feel it's so important to them to display an ancient Roman execution device.
