It's not for the parents to get attention. That's might be why you act the way you do Cracker but not the rest of us normal people. Maybe we are just happy and proud of our children and want to show it. I am not saying make a huge scene but cheering for your child shouldn't be a crime. You are just so freakin racist that you see a black person and go off. I bet if this story was about a white mother that was dressed conservatively and photographed in front of a nice big house your opinion would be totally different.

We were an outside Graduation on the football field, the names were called off over the PA, the only time we were asked to be sorta quiet and keep it down was during the Benediction,the Salutatorian and valedictorian speeches.

other than that it was our night to graduate no one else's.

Cracker your tantrum doesn't affect me like you think it does, it says to me that you are self centered and selfish, the only one you're thinking about is you.

Niggerdom 211: High school is the end of your education. It is to be celebrated as loudly as possible.

I don't expect you to see through the haze of your ignorance, lack of consideration for others, and lack of decorum. So don't worry about it. Get yours. Do you.


Screaming and yelling like a fucking idiot isn't for a child. The child is in front of the crowd in a cap and gown having their name called and walking across a stage. Yelling like an idiot is a way for the parents to get attention. Needy, rude mutherfuckers.

I don't know how shit works where you are but the name is called before the student walks the last walk.

The screams and shouts for that student subside in a few seconds after they leave the platform.

I do have to say though that mine lasted a bit longer because everyone that was left on the bleachers yelled and screamed also, pretty much like the rest of us did for those that went before us.

Time held no meaning that night dipshit, we didn't care and the parents didn't care if it took 2 hours or 3 to get through the ceremony.



get a fucking life.

If you waited for the graduation ceremony to let your kid know you were proud of them, you fucked up. Bad behavior won't fix it.

Graduation should be expected, not an earth-shattering event.

Clapping politely should also be expected. There shouldn't have to be rules for adults. They should just know.

Now few know how to behave and nothing is expected of most. Celebrate that shit.

if you waited and anticipated the graduation for 18 years and didn't cheer when it happened you're an asshole, you can't take that shit back or get a do over, Graduation from High School is a one time thing.

Its fucked up that some one wants to make rules to tell YOU how to celebrate it.

I guess as long as we have bullshit liberals running the schools our kids will just have to make do with parents that care enough to be happy for them and not try to take all of the glory for themselves.

As a parent who just went through a graduation ceremony (son, last spring), I'm going to say that Cracker is spot on.

My son graduated from a private Catholic school, VERY culturally diverse, and ALL in attendance were asked to refrain from clapping or cheering when their son or daughter had their name called. Between the graduating class (165 or so) and the parents/family/friends in attendance, there were more than 800 present.

There were 4 or 5 MINOR cheers, nothing over the top, and the ceremony proceeded right on schedule. BTW, this ceremony took place at the Basilica of St Mary's in downtown Mpls (google it, beautiful cathedral), and students really appreciate being able to take their 'walk' at such a famed landmark.

My point is, the school definitely runs the ceremony, and they have every right to dictate rules. Why should some asshole decide that specific rules don't apply to THEM, when everyone else will follow them?

Ramsey, your posts in this thread make you look like a complete rube. Get off the racist commentary. This is a time when Cracker is right in pointing out Niggerdom/White Trash as being one in the same.

Maybe the big black baluba could not read the rules about cheering. Or English like "sit your fat ass back down bitch" ? It must have been exciting at any rate. Did everyone cheer when they dragged her ass out?

I'm with Dick on this one.

I think graduation is a big deal. Small, minor cheers from the 20% that do it is no big deal. Loud, obnoxious assholes on the other hand, need to be escorted out.
You're always going to have a loser or 2 in every situation. We wouldn't have anything to talk and argue about if not for the retards needing their 15 minutes of shame.

When I graduated high school (15 years ago last week), the guests were expected to not act like a bunch of idiots with their screaming and carrying on. Most people were respectful...there are always the exceptions.

My daughter has her 1^st dance recital coming up in a couple weeks, and I am dreading it. I say this only because we went to last year's (just to see what it was about), and there were people who were screaming out as the kids were dancing. There was a big, obnoxious lady who was screaming out "that's my boo!!!" every few seconds. All the other adults with her were carrying on the same way.(I will let you speculate on their color.) Every parent who had a smidge of self-respect was mortified!!! If she hadn't been about 400 pounds, I would have told her to shut the fuck up!!!

I understand about being excited for your child to graduate, or dance...but have a little respect for yourself, and the people around you!!!!

Another occasion of having to be heard over the other jungle animals.

A couple of weeks ago, I attended my niece's graduation from UC Berkeley. The history department had a special commencement ceremony to award undergraduate, graduate, and post graduate degrees.

There was no request to hold applause so the applause was fairly continuous with some hoots from family members/friends when most names were announced. A few people didn't get hoots and I almost felt a little bad for them (although Asians aren't really in to hooting, I don't think).

Anyway, I think you ought to respect the etiquette established for the event. If you don't like it, work to change it but don't be one of just a few that make noise. That does make you look stupid and like you can't follow simple requests.

I still agree with Dick though that graduations would be more fun for the students if other students/family members could cheer them.

If you have to be escorted from your kids graduation it's because you're acting like a fucking idiot, end of story. It's one thing to cheer for your kid and another to be loud, obnoxious and inconsiderate. Too bad Kramer wasn't there.

How old is she (if I may ask) Can I guess? 8?

This boils down to common sense for me.

I love that some parents and family members are so proud of their graduates that they want to cheer and hoot. Cool. If they've been asked not to do so or if they go disruptively crazy about it, I can see removing them from the ceremony if they don't stop after being warned. But, arresting the parents and/or penalizing the graduate is ignorant, in my opinion.

Can't tell from the articles if the mom in the OP was really out of control or if the rules/expectations of the school are just too rigid; different views depending on who was interviewed. Either way, reading about parents getting arrested for expressing support of their children so strongly is a good change from reading about parents getting arrested for not giving a shit about their children.
