So, according to CNN.com a group of highschool graduates are being denied their diplomas because (now get this…) people cheered for them.
…
I can’t even begin to express how stupid this is. The school withheld the diplomas (just the paper diploma, not the actual transcripts – they still graduated) because of a policy that’s supposed to “restore the decorum” of the graduation ceremony. This, coupled with what I blogged about on MINDsprinting’s Myspace, is making homeschooling seem more and more like a good choice.

I heard about this. I mean, I see the point of trying to keep people quiet because people miss their names or whatever, but I’ve never been to a graduation where the Whoops and hollers overtook the entire ceremony. SO either the admin is extremely anal or the people in the audience are a bunch of frat boys pretending to be at a football game.
