Now, again, they're robbing the students of their diplomas

The state and federal governments are robbing me of my money to "educate" these "students."

This is an example of political correctness serving as public policy.

The state set a public policy about setting certain minimal standards to get a high school diploma. Because some people for some reason can't meet that minimal standard, they find a judge to rule it unconstitutional and discriminatory. A mindset that reinstating this rule is "robbing" someone of their diploma is a mindset that thinks that you just can't have any standards at all. Any standard thus discriminates. And there is a sense of "entitlement", that one is "entitled" to that diploma whether one has met the mininum standards to graduate or not.

I'm speechless.

Basically, another indictment of the government-run education consortium.
