Given their druthers, some Kansas high school students and their parents said they would rather keep their graduation day just a family affair instead of expanding the guest list to include first lady Michelle Obama.
The district announced that Obama was speaking to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision that made school segregation unconstitutional.

Kansas????? Shouldn’t she and her grifter family be in Paris, Monte Carlo or someplace else on the taxpayers’ dime?
MICHELLE: Sorry! Sorry ... (with bitter self reproach) ... There you see ... I was a little verbose again and I got carried away ... I’m ever so sorry. (to the CROWD) Sorry.
CROWD kneeling round their wounded again. Moans etc.
GUEST: She’s killed the best man!
SECOND GUEST (holding a limp WOMAN): She’s killed my auntie.
FATHER: No, please! This is supposed to be a happy occasion! Let’s not bicker and argue about who bored who to death with partisan political BS ... We are here today to witness the graduation of young people from high school and the commencement of their lives. Unfortunately, one of them, my son Herbert, has just fallen to his death from the bleachers.
Only if oprah gets someone else to fund the “gifts”...as always.
You and I are probably in the minority here, but I completely agree with you. I didn't go to my HS graduation nor the ceremonies for my professional certificates. If I were a student at this school, I'd get up and walk out.
If I were a senior there, I’d have to go to the bathroom during that part of the show.
I would. Target provided of course.
I would not cross the street to listen to either of them.
Don’t forget the ubiquitous “We must do more!”
Thanks for the ping!
Probably jumped.
“Look under your seats — everyone gets a diploma!”
“If this was my graduation I would not come, spectacles like these big graduation ceremonies are a waste of time in my book.”
I wouldn’t either; if need be, I’d have a doctors note. A few years back, when Obama wanted to speak to the students, I pulled aside the principal of my children’s school and told him they wouldn’t be attending that day. He assured me the school was not airing Obama’s speech, and he was true to his word. Obama has nothing to say to a student body that is 1/3 Anglo, 1/3 Latino, and 1/3 Asian; he is only the leader of ghetto folk.
