What Would You Think If This Happerned To Your Child???

That is just so not fair. I would be getting a lawyer also. Must be a strict school that won't any show of emotion or affection or even a kiss..that is just nuts and I think it is time for a new principal I mean he was excited and proud and heck I would blown a kiss too.

Give me a break!! That principal/school board should be sued... a kiss to his mom.. a sign of love and thankfulness.. Graduation is a time for celebration, and well some times things get crazy.. But a kiss, should not be a reason for a student not to receive their diploma.. I hope that student gets their diploma and a public apology to the whole senior class for making drama during their big day.. That is suppose to be the students first day to the rest of their lives.. What a heck of a way to start it... If that was to happen to my son, darn straight there would be some heads rolling... He earned the degree the rest should have just been overlooked.

What a crock of shite! Surely there has to be more to it than this??? I'd be lawyering up too if this were to happen to a child of mine. It was an affectionate gesture to family members for God's sake!

That's carrying the rules too far. When my son graduated they were told not to do any shenanigans onstage since it was a big class and it wasn't fair to hold up the others with delays. Mostly, the kids cooperated. But it's an exciting time for kids, the beginning of their real lives! On the other hand, why can't kids obey the rules? I don't agree with the principal. But I wouldn't sue him, as long as my son got his diploma.

LadyM, What right has he to do that to the student, I think this principal should get a life, he was not doing anything wrong, just blowing a kiss to his mother, I can't believe it, what sort of school is that? Tamara

I think the school needs to take a good look at its rules and get rid of some of them. I would have stood up and protested right then if it had been my child. This was really uncalled for. What is wrong with blowing your mother a kiss?

That is ridiculous...they are kids, they are graduating, if a kid can't blow a kiss..what can he do. A young man got kicked out of one of the local graduations a few years back when he flashed his Superman costume underneath his gown and several kids got removed for bouncing a beach ball. The school had nearly a 1000 graduates...we needed the humor. I am not saying the graduation should be a circus but they should lighten up!

That is absolutely ridiculous. There has got to be more to the story. If not, if it's just the kid blowing a kiss then I hope the principal is seriously reprimanded. How awful for that student. The day he's worked so hard for - ruined over a kiss. Well not even an actual kiss-just a blown kiss. If I were his mom I'd be freaking 20 ways from Sunday.

oh gosh. how can a kiss ruined his chances of getting a diploma? there's got to be something more to the story than that. unless the principle specifically told the students that no blowing a kiss or whatever, but it's still way too strict. I agree, the graduate obviously worked very hard to graduate and now all his work is gone because of a single kiss. can the school even do that? not give him a diploma, i mean. The world is getting crazier and xrazier these days...
