While it’s beautiful to hear your name shouted as you walk across the stage at high school graduation, it’s not unreasonable for the school administration to want order. So when the school superintendent of Senatobia High School in Mississippi explained before the ceremony that everyone should hold their applause and excitement until after all the students have accepted diplomas and if not, they would be removed, that was okay. And after four parents yelled for their kids that’s exactly what happened. But that wasn’t all:
Senatobia Municipal School District Superintendent Jay Foster filed ‘disturbing the peace’ charges against the people who yelled at graduation. Officers issued warrants for their arrests with a possible $500 bond. “It’s crazy,” Henry Walker said. “The fact that I might have to bond out of jail, pay court costs, or a $500 fine for expressing my love, it’s ridiculous man. It’s ridiculous.” … “Okay,” Miller said. “I can understand they can escort me out of the graduation, but to say they going to put me in jail for it. What else are they allowed to do?”
Talk about unjustly raining on someone’s parade.
Team Blackness also discussed the Alabama Senate voting to change the name of the Edmund Pettus Bridge where Bloody Sunday took place, why New Jersey health “experts” think you shouldn’t eat sewer fish, and a lunch lady who was fired for giving kids who couldn’t afford them free lunches.
