LOL! I’m purty sure they bullied their way in. Some clown on her staff decided that these poor kids would be thrilled if she showed up and blathered on about nutrition and education and job prospects and................ You know what I mean. Basically making it about her and not their graduation. I mean, what’s more important anyway?

Bunch of ingrates.

And MO was going to hostess a kale and beet juice reception afterwards.

For the kids. MO was going to have her usual buffalo ribs, caviar and champagne.

I’m not sure I follow the logic of cramming FIVE high school graduations into one event.

If they arrange it so that Moo comes regardless, I’m betting the kids will engaging in a little uncivil disobedience at their graduation. I’m sure they’ll get a talking-to beforehand, with “consequences” promised of any shenanigans, but I’m hoping the patriot spirit is still alive in some of them.
