The worst part is having to sit through the featured speaker. I just told myself I'm here for my daughter or son and this day is not about me. So keep your political thoughts to yourself.
I don’t know why they just can’t say The Pledge of Allegiance (the Under God long version) sing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” and call it Miller Time. Just cut out all The Price Is Right stuff with the noisemakers and goofy T-shirts for the goofiest student award.
When my daughter graduated from college 20 years ago the keynote speaker was Julian Bond. You can imagine how much I enjoyed that. And looking back it was pretty mild stuff compared to the crap being spread now
