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.
