A Very Costly Kiss: Senior Denied Diploma

by Mike Krumboltz

For teens, there is no greater joy than graduating high school. Shaking off the shackles of education and claiming that hard-fought diploma is truly an epic day. Unfortunately, for several students at Bonny Eagle High School in Maine, their natural exuberance has led to some surprisingly serious problems.

On Friday night, when the senior class was waiting to graduate, excitement began to grow. Students bounced a large inflatable rubber duck. The noise level rose. And then came "the kiss." When called, one student walked on stage to receive his diploma and blew a kiss to his family. The school administrator, clearly not the sentimental sort, sent the student back to his seat ... sans diploma.

The seemingly harsh punishment has sent the Web all aflutter. Searches on "student denied diploma" and "bonny eagle high school" are both through the roof. Additionally, blogs and news papers are chiming in with opinions on whether or not the administration overreacted. The student's mother has given interviews and is quite upset at her son's treatment. According to an article from Fox News the outraged mother said, "A bow, a kiss to your mom is not misbehavior."

But the administrators feel they were just enforcing the rules that students agreed to. At a meeting following the debacle, school superintendent Suzanne Lukas said that "if a student doesn't adhere to the expectations, then the consequences are clearly spelled out."

This isn't the first time that rambunctious (dare we say "fun"?) behavior affected a graduation ceremony at Bonny Eagle. "Four years ago we had some issues with silly string and beach balls," said Lukas.

Yep, I think they didn't go far enough. They should have make a better example... Perhaps, charged with sexual misconduct; mandatory therapy to talk about his "urges" to blow kisses; four years probation that includes repeating all four years of high school.

Just another school that's not going to see something big coming because they're too busy micro-managing all the insignificant bs...

bleh!

That is ridiculous! I recently went to my niece's high school graduation. There were kids dancing across the stage, pausing to pose, waving at everyone, and the last kid across the stage actually laid down and did the worm across to the principal. It was all in good fun. Just let them have their moment and give them their dang diplomas. Some of these kids will never see another one.

There was even a kid who's 'fro was so big and round that he couldn't actually wear the cap. He had to cut off the bottom part and somehow afix the mortar board to his hairdo. He still got his diploma.

Maybe the Soup Nazi was the one handing out the diplomas.
