I think you’re on to something. There is nothing more boring than a political speaker at a graduation, IMHO. The kids want it to be Their graduation. Besides, there really are typically plenty of hassles in getting to the graduation venue, parking, seating (tickets required), etc. Sometimes outdoor graduations get pretty hot, too, in addition to being long.
Personally, I think the one really important thing a graduation should never be without is an expression of gratitude for the parents, faculty and staff who persevered with the students the whole way through. That, and passing out diplomas and taking pictures, should pretty much cover it.
“Why aren’t any high schools asking Obama to speak at commencement this year? Because they don’t want to.”
to continue....
BECAUSE THEY DON’T WANT TO LISTEN TO HIS BULLCRAP!
BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY’D GET ARRESTED AND DRAGGED OUT ON NATIONAL TV WHILE SHOUTING “YOU LOUSY LYING POS, WHERE’S YOUR BIRTH CERTIFICATE”!
BECAUSE HE MIGHT BRING THE WOOKIE, AND AT THAT TIME OF YEAR, PERSPIRING WOOKIES STINK UP THE PLACE.
BECAUSE LOUSY LYING POS’s HAVE NO SENSE OF HONOR OR INTEGRITY AND THAT’S WHAT WE’RE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE IN OUR CHILDREN, NOT FORCIBLY EXPOSE THEM TO THE EXACT OPPOSITE!
whew, I feel better.
“whew, I feel better.”
Thank you! I feel the same way. “Set the barn on fire” anger at the right things is so refreshing!
