I guess segregation is bad, until it isn’t.

[Tax-chick]

Everyone in the graduating class graduating all together? What’s the world coming to?

[No name given]

Indeed.

[No name given]

I know, it’s crazy, right?!

[9YearLurker]

Nothing like marginalizing “marginalized” communities.

[Tax-chick]

How will they survive? It’ll be like the horrors of the 1980s or something.

[Linda Frances]

They sure didn’t care that they stopped graduations…proms…because of the lies of the left with covid.

[dforest]

Anyone who would believe this obvious bullcrap is a mental midget. 💩💩🙄

Geesh, how embarrassing.

[CodeToad]

See, no one ever needed to say “Blacks Only” or “Whites Only”.

They only needed to say “Marginalized People Only” and “Oppressors Only”.

[Tai_Chung]

I guess Graduation Ceremonies are separate, but equal

[Vermont Lt]

I have to laugh at all of these places giving their “marginalized” students their “special” days. Black graduations, Hispanic graduations, poor person graduations…

These kids are going to be in for a shock when they enter the adult world and they discover that no one gives a shit whether they are black, Hispanic, rich or pooor…their employers will only care if they add value to the organization.

Can I go to an Oppressors only graduation because I’m tired of the hijinks and outbursts of the Marginalized during a formal graduation ceremony?

[Kudsman]

Victimhood. The beatitude of reprobates. It’s lazy, deceitful and evil. No wonder the left embraces it so completely.

[AAABEST]

Affinity graduations - for everyone except straight white people.

Only privileged Marxists could ever consider a Harvard grad “marginalized.”

[Bon of Babble]

Alumni stepped in to raise funds, and students scrambled to find new spaces.

Hope the White Alumni association was able to raise the funds for the White Heritage Graduation.

[silverleaf]

“ Colleges cancel segregated ceremonies. Liberals outraged for victims forced to graduate with classmates they will someday work and live with..”

[TheDon]

The article makes more sense when ‘affinity’ and ‘special’ are replaced with ‘racist’, and ‘marginalized’ with ‘privileged’.

[God luvs America]

LOL- i graduated from St John’s University in Jamaica Queens in 1986....we had as many black students as we did white students (and we all got along very well!!!)....

We had ONE graduation ceremony....not one for blacks and gays and this or that...

"From Harvard to Wichita State, colleges cancel special racist ceremonies for graduates from marginalized backgrounds"

There. Fixed it.

[bgill]

Whaaaa! I didn’t get a special graduation!!!!
