My graduation was in a church a huge, beautiful, clean church. It was the first time that we didn't need to limit the number of people each graduate could bring by ticket. The church even removed their cross. I graduated with about 500 people, and I remember that the audience was double the size of the graduating class. So about 1500 were there in all. After that day, two parents complained that it was an innapropriate place and it's back to the tiny graduation spaces for my school.

What I wanted to know is if 1498 people were fine with it and 2 people had a problem, why did the school go with the tiny minority? The silent approval wasn't enough?? And it's doubtful that those parents are going to have more children graduating the next year anyways? Are they speaking for future hypothetical parents??

Is this fair??

Where did I say "totally unrelated"?
I just said that the location of a graduation, a trivial, local issue, is irrelevant to our overall system of government. Anyway, though public high schools are government institutions, not all decisions regarding them are made by the actual government.

1. This is a republic, not a democracy and
2. The interests of a small community and a high school are unrelated to government as a whole. Local things and national things are not the same when you have a multi-layered system.

nope but this nation caters to the whiny bitches thanks to our piece of shit legal system which allows fucktards to sue for massive sums over stupid things when they really just need to grow a pair
